I know Tech-art makes some and there's a couple of other companies that make them as well, but personally to me, they look very added on and not super smooth so I don't like them, maybe you will.

Might not have the classic round light, but the lamp looks good the way it is. Those aftermarket ones never look proper and almost cheapen the appearance.

I'm not a fan of asthetics that don't serve a purpose and am in the minority that thinks the 996tt is as timeless a shape as any other car. I'd leave well enough alone - That said, she's your car and you should do whatever makes you happy.
