What Year Is This Turbo?
Looks nice, was wondering how to tell the difference between a 996TT and a 997TT? Intake vents? I thought the 997TT had them split like this one?

997's have oval headlights, not the fried egg style on the 996's. That's a 997.

It's a 997. Though a conversion to 997 headlights is totally possible. As with the rest of the body if desired.

It is 100% 997. It is possible to convert the front fenders,bumper, and lights of a 996 to the 997 loo, but it's pretty much impossible to change the cutline between rear qtr and bumper cover- the 997 has the angled cutline, as shown. The 996 has a horizontal split (which doesn't look as tight and nice IMO).

So what's the story Mike? It's obviously a TX car, is it nearby?
