Well I was backed into today ironically by someone on vacation from Munich. It appears to be a good time to just update my 99 to the 02 style front end. If anyone has done this could you email me the part numbers. I am intending on buying the parts from Suncoast and have everything pretty much down except the deal on the lights. My question is will the newer style lights just slide into my old style tracks or did the mounting tracks change in 02? I know the wiring is a bit different but I heard that you can just splice into the old harness to make it work. Is this true? Any help would be greatly appreciated and thanks in advance!

Coverage and how to read this overview
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.

Bummer....but damage does not look too deep.....is the hood aligned ok, or will you replace that too? Sorry about your woes. But the end results should be worth it!
No, you will have to buy new headlight tracks as well. The headlight plugs are different on the 02's too as well. Here's a list: 1999-2001 Conversion to 2002-2004 Porsche 996 PART DESCRIPTION 00-2002-2004 996 Aero front bumper cover 996 2002 Left front fender 996 2002 Right front fender 2002- Xenon headlight Right side 996 2002- Xenon headlight Left side 996 headlight tray right 996 headlight tray left 996 Right Headlight harness 996 2002-2004 Xenon 996 Left Headlight harness 996 2002-2004 Xenon 996 Headlight tray left 996 Headlight tray right Clamping bow (2 req.) 996-Bushing (2 req.)

Anyone have this list with actual Porsche Part #'s?
i think you put in the headlight trays twice........ but good luck on your facelift....... look around you might find a deal....where are you at? im looking to do the same.... maybe there's a group discount........
The above post was a bit dated, I am in South Florida, but I am compiling a new list that may be more accurate and have more detail, its posted in this forum
want me to return the favor? I'll be in Munich(or Muenchen as it is called here ) sometime soon, hopefully during our 2 week "spring break", let 'em know that us Chicagoans can do some damage too, only problem is I won't have a car, so i'll have to do it the Louisville Slugger way but yea, that sux... where in Chicago are you from? city? burbs?
Having such an upgradeable car is the only positive factor to getting your precious nailed. You jacka$$ you just nailed my porsche......and paid for my aero kit!
