The headlights came out with the 996 911 make. Everyone hates them because they are the same ones on the Boxster. The early model 996 ~2001 had a number of parts shared with the Boxster and the interior was really crappy/cheap plastic due to Porsche trying to reduce costs at the time. 911 Porsche enthusiasts screamed at corporate because they went cheap. The 2003 however, has upgrades the earlier 996s did not. I don't know all the details but to get the rounded headlights you either have to buy a 997 911 or earlier. Earlier has less technology and later is bloody expensive so I opted for the 2003 with the better interior etc. The car cost me less than I paid for my 370Z brand new about 2.5 years ago.

Essentially I'm going to sell the seats and put race seats with a 5 point harnesses and I need to buy some stock 18" wheels and R-comps to get ready for next track season. It should be fun.
