996 to 997 make over.

This is a make over you can do if you have 996 but don't have the extra cash to trade up for the 997. You cheap bastard....

It even looks better than the 997 lol. No, but seriously it does look very good the rims aren't that nice but over all beautiful. But the idea of a make over to a Porsche

i say just get the 997 you cheap bastard! Damn thing looks so fake.

I remember seeing the same thing done for the Mercedes R129 to make it look like an R230

Ive seen this in Dubai, didnt like the idea in a way, people may use it to reflect a wrong image maybe. I would imagine someone going like "Check out my 997" kinda thing.

How much does this cost I wonder!

Can;t be much less than a new 997!

This is the same company that put an ironing board on the back of an SLK and called it a rear wing.....Now this!??

Anyone who owns a 996 will:
a)probably not have to reach too far into the pockets to upgrade to the 997
b) appreciate the engineering of a new Porsche and realise that there is far more to the car than cosmetic enhancements.....
