Default turbo bumper on Boxster?

Will the 996 turbo bumper fit on a boxster? I know that the headlights are different so if i change them out will the bumper fit. Also, will 996 turbo wheels fit on a boxster? Thanks

You also need fenders and the headlight mounting brackets.

Might consider a turbo-look bumper cover instead. Jeff

The front wheels will fit, but the backs are too wide. Porsche does make 996 Turbo look wheels in Boxster widths however.

Why would you do this to a Boxster? It is a Boxster before and after, it never becomes a GT3 or GT2 or 911. It is a Boxster why not cherish it for what it is. And what does that do to the resale?
