Hi ,
has anyone realised how close 991 headlights are to 996 . I was able to pick up a cheap pair of 991 headlights and wanted to put them on my 996 . I didn't want to ruin the metal fenders so I purchased a cheap kit to experiment .
I am happy with the results so far

996 lights next to 991 very close in shape and size if the fogs were cut out

997 gt2 kit with 991 light's adapted

kit attached just need to add side skirts and paint

 

Looks great and totally changes/updates the car.

*Be sure to hang on to those original headlights and fenders though....
I feel like they are going to come back in a big way!
(there... I said it!)

 

Hi Gixxerboy63
Yes i will be keeping all the parts, I agree with you what's old will be new again. I just wanted to play a bit with the car . It can be put back to original if needed.
cheers Harry

 

Wanted to share my car's makeover. Haven't posted in a (long) while so I hope this comes out fine.

Above pic was taken in 2007

 

Still thinking:
Smoked tail lights?
GT3 checkered stripe side sticker?

Opinions / comments appreciated. Thanks.


SAMPLE pic only:...either glossy black to match the wrap of my sunroof OR glossy white (sort of ghost stripe white on white). Thoughts?

 

I love it.
Is that a satin white wrap?

 

Yep (satin pearl white wrap). Still thinking if I shld tint the tail lights (smoke)

 

I love that color/texture… thinking I might wrap mine too sometime down the road…

 

I’m on board with either option… I like the GT3 checker… I would say no on the taillight tint though (unless you want to run with the clapped out Honda crowd?)

 

 

Just picked her up a week ago. Already in love and have plans for us. I'll post in relevant threads but already know a few things that need to be done like suspension update, steering stalks need to be replaced (anyone tackled this on their own? PM me), and engine mounts replaced.

Please to get her wrapped and replace OEM wheels.
