If shipping wasn't terrible that front end would work for my project. I need a bumper anyway and a new factory one is 990 dollars plus shipping from germany, and the turbo S bumper is more like 2k if you can find one......
Any ideas on how hard importing this stuff would be?
(BTW thats one mean looking 968, the 993 headlights are a nice touch)....

It depends, you would have to ship in a crate so it would be a good idea to get a number of people to do it. Customs can be a mother. For more details contact LeadFoot944 for his take on it. He imported a lot from V-Sweeden.

Matt,
I talked it out with Leadfoot and it was a royal pain for him, and I think he has vowed to never take on anything like that again. But thanks for the info, I hope someone in the states picks them up as supplier so a company can deal with the issues, not us the consumer.

According to Hank at GT-Racing the conversion pieces consist of "pieces around the radiator and the top of the shock towers". I am sure he means wheel upper housing, side member upper, wheel housing front part, and the front panel. I will post more, I might just order it out of curiosity.

I think the 968 fenders can take the Boxster Litronic HID lamps - with minimal modification. The lower curve, and the hood joint of the Litronics mate up to the 968's hood just fine. The real trick is to make the Litronics swing upwards, like in the Boxster- to replace bulbs.

has this discussion come up anytime recently ?
i like both. but, i wonder how many 944 owners have thought about front or rear conversions.

Why the negativity?
I don't understand the naysayers. Porsche originally considered the bulbous rear and S2/951 front combo and it would have been called the S3.
It's not like he's wanting to graft a Camaro front end on his car.
