if both are bi-Xenon aka Litronic, then yes, they’ll plug right in. But if u have Litronic and the C4S Lights that you source are Halogen, or vice versa, rhen I belive you need to make some changes.

Bumper, radiator ducts, center duct, GT2 center radiator brackets or bend factory ones ~7°, hose extensions for the radiator, rebar spacers.

Good bit of work to do correctly as S65 noted.

As for PPF on headlights, I have done this for years after sanding and polishing. Using Lamin-X which protects the plastic from UV.

My car was actually delivered with the GT2 bumper installed at the dealer at a cost of $6500 if I remember correctly. It was a long list of parts but it is real Porsche part--I found the receipt for the work in the documentation when I purchased it a few years ago.

I could take it or leave it, personally. The car is already pretty rare as a white Turbo S, 6 speed. Not sure if it hurts or helps the value.

As for the headlights, they have PPF installed and they look perfect so I did not mess with them.
