Hi there,

Actually it would be if the period was correct, such as you having a 2002 996, you'll notice on the 996 the Turbo has it's bumper shaped around the newer headlamp design only later featured on the 2002 and newer 996.

If you did have the later 996 it would be pretty simple other than cutting down or painting the aluminum bumper for aesthetics of course.

Don't waste your time or money unless you plan on changing out the head lamps, head-lamp trays, bumper, two wiring harnesses and a few other items.

Good Luck with your project, feel free to send me a message if you need more info or post here...
