Has anyone had thier pre-facelift 996 converted to give the newer facelift look? Design911 do this and I have to say, the results look awesome!
The price quoted is £1,300. I guess at this price it doesn't include spraying and fitting, just parts only?

I've finaly sold my car and I'm now on the hunt for a 3.4 996. (I'll be boring you all with an extensive list of questions soon!)
The conversion is very tempting!

I see your point, there's something not quite right about a car trying to be something it's not, even if it is a Porsche in the first place.

Having taken on board what has been said here, I think it would be a waste of money to convert an earlier car to look like a facelift model. It's good to hear so many people in favor of the 3.4. I have to say though, I do prefer the look of the facelift model.

I must say, I don't like the fact that they share so many similarities. Not knocking the boxster, but Porsche should have given the 911 some distinguishing features to seperate it from a boxster.

I quite like the front bumper of the GT3, and will probably have one fitted to give the car less of a boxster look.
Not sure if I like the rear spoiler of the GT3 though, so will most likely go for just front bumper and side skirts.

Still looking, it's got to be the right spec.
I want 99 onwards pref with sports pack and sound pack and of course 18's.
