Boxster to Turbo Conversion Question

Postby cameronc08 » Tue Feb 28, 2006 2:33 pm

Hey guys, just some quick questions.

I'm doing the Boxster to 996t front conversion, and I have almost ordered all the pieces, or so I think, and just need some more. The bumper cover is on the way, and I am using the reinforcement and retainer from the boxster bumper. I ordered the new fenders, not sure the color but thats not an issue atm. I also ordered the 996t litronic headlights, but not sure about the headlight retainers and wiring harness.

Basically I have two questions. One, with the exception of the headlight retainer and wiring harness do I need any more pieces or am I set? Also, where do I get the retainer and wiring harness, preferably used to save some money, but new if I have to. does anyone even know a site to buy these, new or old, and what they will run me? Im hoping no more than 150 dollars? Thank again guys! Hopefully these are the last two pieces I need...

Hah, thats where I ordered the fenders from, but I will call again and see if they also have the wiring harness and retainer. Do I even need these parts, can I not take them from the boxster lights? I am pretty sure that I need retainers because different shape, and there is a different amount of wires so I need the harness, but any Idea if these are the last parts I should order and what they should cost me? Thanks for the quick reply btw.

Also they have a 996 litronic wiring harness for 500 dollars. If that is the one I need and that is the average cost my dad WILL kill me...Any idea if there cheaper or if that is even the right one..Sorry for so many questions I just have to get this conversion done asap because the car is not on the road atm and my father might be leaving in 2 weeks.
