991 Facelift

So fellas, I came across some high-res photos of the 991 and noticed that the front hood and lights look like they mount to a completely different bumper that looks like it should line up to the 997.1 front? I know some fellas and my local tech has fabricated a GT2 front to fit the turbo even though its not essentially a bolt on mod. Do you think the 991 front bumper can mount flush?



PS- Suncoast when are these available through factory?!

That would be a pretty looking car/ with a 997.2 rear and a GT3 wing IMO

The car is wider, is it not? Looks the same, but probably won't fit. Just wait for the Modders to have at it. Although it looks nice (kind of Aston Martin), I wouldn't give up my fang.

The parts are not in our catalog yet. I think since the car has different fenders, hood, lights and also longer and wider a conversion is probably out of the question. Then again with enough $$$ anything can happen!
