just did a front conversion on my 996 and I would like to give my mechanic a technical drawing of the headlight units with wiring harness attachment...the vacuum hoses changed and he doesn't know how and where to connect them. So if anybody has a drawing or images of a conversion please email me. thanks :help:

I just did a facelift for my 99 996 to a 02-04 996 front. It is expensive..I bought the lights, fenders and bumper from another rennlister, but he kind of screwed me (a little) because the set didn't come with wiring harnesses and he said that I didn't need them..he also missed 2 turbo bumper parts (which ended up being $300) I got a deal from a car collision place accross from my studio, they replaced all parts, painted them (including my hood and right door, because I had a couple of scratched on it)...and charged me only 1100 bucks....they are taking their sweet time...car has been at the shop for 2 weeks....but I want them to do a good job, so didn't bother them too much!! I have to say (saw the car, with new light fenders and bumper painted yesterday)....and it looks GREAT!! But>>>>> I had to buy a lot of parts from the Porsche dealer.....which added up to about 1K Bumper bottom lip (watch out.....turbo lip is $370 while a C4S lip is "only" $170 and the difference is 1/2 inch) new brackets for headlights ($45 each side) bolts for brackets (you can use the old ones...did this, it seems to work) (6bolts about $40 each bolt) New bumper brackets ($16-26 each depending on side of car) headlight washer system (old system doesn't work!) (about $180) sidemarker brackets ($25 ? each) there are things I forget here, because I paid a lot more.... I think I ended up spending about $4,000 including replacing and paint.....BUT I already had litronix on my 99 996 which I sold on ebay for $860, I sold one fender and bumper for another $425...so can deduct $1285 of off the conversion..so for under $2800 I am driving an unmistakable 996 (and not a '''is that a boxster? 996")
