I would only recommend a Polyurethane nose instead of FRP.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

What kind of nose options are available for the 996? I have the plain nose, and its very....well plain. The aero nose is a bit better, but without going to a full 997 conversion, are there any similar options?
^^ the only problem is there are a lot more body parts available than there are good body parts. The eBay stuff is a prime example.
I highly recommend going with something someone has had a positive experience with. Lots of good suggestions so far.
I would only recommend a Polyurethane nose instead of FRP. Only choices for those besides factory aero pieces or the turbo nose if you have a mk2, would be gt3tek mk2 gt3 nose, mk1 turbo style nose, 997 gt3 nose for mk1 models. Those are the only poly noses I've seen.
I loved my MK1 Gt3 Aero bumper on my Boxster. I believe there is a similar bumper for the MK2 if that's what you have. I agree the stock ones do get a little boring, but either of these would liven up the car. you will need skirts as well otherwise the car will look off balance.
I agree with Ck986, if you are going to do a significant front end change, you should seriously consider GT3 /Aero rockers. Combined with a nice front end the look of the car is completely transformed. I also like a modest wing.
