What happened to the front of this Cayman?

Can anyone explain what these guys did to this cayman ? I wanna say that it's a simple 997 bumper and headlight swap-out. Does this mean that both the bumper and headlights are interchangable between the cayman and 997?

Nope, it's a complete front end swap. Bumper, headlights, fenders and i think even hood. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

You are correct, the F-L GTS has a 997 GT3 front end requiring change of bumper, fenders, and headlights.

Hood is the same on both cars. brad

It would be funny if you could swap the rear of the 911 too.

I like it! How much??? This car...with the GT3 grill inserted and the Techart wing would look pretty mean.....

I like the lower half of the nose, but I don't like seeing those ugly turn signals. They break everything up. In that regard, I like the Cayman nose better.

Man, that would get some stares at stoplights.

With the Cayman , Porsche has created a truly impressive mid-engine vehicle. Farnbacher Loles Motorsports has taken the Cayman S and created the awesome GTR. The GTR significantly improves upon the Cayman 's already impressive performance in both acceleration and handling, and wrapped it in a jaw-dropping exterior. The GTR is being produced in a limited run of only 20 cars with each vehicle built to the owner's individual specifications as either a complete vehicle or using the customer's own supplied Cayman .

997 GT3 bumper/cover with GT3 cup chin spoiler(not the OEM bumper spoiler). Got the same front end on my 997.

The 911 headlights are a big step backward. 911 owners should be putting cayman fenders/lights on THEIR cars.

OK...then how about this one???? ???

I do not know what to make of the 997 front end on the front of the Cayman ! I mean, I cannot decide which I prefer. Sure, the F-L looks different from all other cars, barring this Techart above, but I like the integrated Fog Lights and the clean front end look of the stock Cayman . I am not certain about the ascetics of the 997 turn signal lights per Gator Bite's observations above, but I think Gator Bite's eyes may have it right. Something looks different: It both appeals and repels. I guess like everything, time will tell. It will either grow on me or it will not. Either way, I'd take one. But, then there's the new Aero Package to consider. I find I prefer the new Aero look on the factory Cayman versus the cut and paste 997 GT cup front end. I sure would like to see some specs, like drag coefficients, and some more data before I decide. Perhaps the stock Cayman would be best for all around driving, gas consumption and daily driving. I wonder what Pinky thinks about the butchering . . . uh . . . er . . . altering of his design???
