I am hoping to use the expertise of the members of this forum to answer a question. I am looking into the possibility of changing a few things on my 07 CS simply for "unique" reasons.

If available, is it possible to fit the 997 GT3 nose, rear spoiler and exhaust onto a stock CS? And if the exhaust will fit, will it sound anywhere close to the GT3?

i'd like to know about the exhaust also... i was planning on doing that

GT3 nose will fit, but you have to bring along the GT3 front fenders, hood, headlights, and everything else, too. The rear spoiler will probably not fit, since it's attached to the rear deck lid which is unique to the car and won't substitute for the rear hatch, obviously. Someone may come out with a replica of just the wing for the Cayman... ya never know...

The exhaust will definitely not fit - the motors are in two completely different places (mid vs. rear) and the motors are also facing different ways - the GT3 motor faces backwards with the drive-train going towards the front of the car, because it's behind the rear wheels. The Cayman motor faces forwards with the drive train going towards the back of the car because it's in front of the rear wheels. From what I can tell, the plumbing isn't even close to being the same.

I failed to ask if the wheels would fit, either the 996 version or the 997 version. Adding spacers would not be an issue as I plan to do this either way.

i read that the rear bumper fits.. it could be a false statement. can anyone confirm?

I doubt that because the GT3 uses the C4 body shell and hence wider body and wider bumper. I guess it "could" but it would seem unlikely, someone should measure though if they can get both cars side by side.

I've got an even better idea. How about someone trade me their GT3 and I'll give up my CS.
