Default 991.1 engine grill to 991.2

Hi all,
I have a .1 and am able to source .2 engine grill from a local shop, and carbon vent from Ebay (link below), but wondering if it's a direct swap or is there anything else I need for this facelift.

Carbon vent

I was looking for an engine cover conversion. Is that a complete cover and is the swap and easy one to do. How much for the engine cover?

I'm interested in this as well. You'd think that it should work as I highly doubt that the quarter panels, rear windshield and rear wing changed at all (all of which the surrounds the engine cover). Not sure what it looks like under the hood.

If there's any .2TT owners in the DC area that would volunteer and meet up, maybe we can try swapping them or at least do a side by side comparison~

Here’s what the underside of my .2 hatch looks like.

I know Mark Blackwell did it, and I love the change, but I hear there is a lot more to it than just swapping parts...

I'm wondering if it involved the plumbing and fans beneath?

If we have enough interest in this conversion, we can duplicate it in full carbon for all the 991.1 guys.

Did anything come of this? I'm looking to upgrade the engine cover on a 991.1 GTS to something more aggressive. Any options out there?
