996 vs 997
Just wondering what the communities opinion is concerning the head light desing of each. When the first 997 came out I was not a huge fan of the head light design; however, it seems to be growing on me and I actually think I like it better than the 996? What is your opinion?

The 997 headlights are retro. Retro on a 911 = fail. But other than that the 997's are more aesthetically pleasing. You'd have to picture an updated 996 style headlight on the 997 to make a fair comparison.

consider that the 997 style is a "slight" lean in the direction of the 993 front end styling.
the driving lights / front-ish-side-markers and the highly unusual exhaust outlets on the back of the 997TT are what have kept me appreciating the 996 not to mention the wheels that just don't seem to fit with the styling of the rest of the car.

My wife thought my sold 997C2S looked friendly and my current 996tt coupe and 996ttS cab look angry and sexy. By the way Rob, thanks for putting me in touch with Akram. He did a great job on my coupe and the Proto650 install. Sorry I missed you at the July meet in H-town. I hope to go back again when it gets cooler in fall/winter.
