Thanks for the compliments guys. I agree the stock lights look good too and I think suit the Turbo especially well. The good thing is that these are just covers I can revert back to the stock look anytime.
I don't think I can mention price here per forum rules, just wanted to share my work and get opinions. You can PM with any other questions.
Thanks,
Andrew

Those are the RSR lenses I believe. I think that is a rare part, not sure if you can get that anymore. I do like that.

Where to find?
Hi where to find in Greece those eyelids? Thanks
these items have been found in a local tuner here in greece which fits precicely on the 996 head lights and looks like 997.
note that in the photos the items are simply placed on top of the headlights, sit properly following the curvature of the headlights without any glue and yet not painted.
note2: the car IS NOT PHOTOSHOP picture. The items are real
i will keep you updated next week when the items will be painted and the final fit is completed

Hi Guys,
I posted this over on another Porsche forum but thought some of you would be interested over here on 6speed. I spent the last 2 years working on a better headlight cover design and I can finally say I'm satisfied with the quality and wanted to show you guys the final piece. It is made out of polyurethane (same materials as bumpers), flexible, and can be painted normally. I 3d scanned the original lights to make sure it fits snugly on top of the existing lens. If you look at the close-up you'll notice we did a lot of work on the beveled edges to make the "headlight ring" look like a distinct piece from the part that covers up the foglamp that is painted body color. Also, we made sure to follow the natural hood seams and lines of the bumper. From the side it gives off a very 991 vibe and front the front it looks 997ish.
A few details: the foglights are covered, the covers are adhered with 3m double sided tape and easy to remove if needed, the version I made is for headlights without the washers. For headlights without washers we are working on a solution where you remove the chrome caps and we will make a custom sized plastic-disc/cover that goes over the circular hole just so it is sealed up and no moisture can get in. The headlight cover would go on top of that.
Let me know what you guys think!
