I think it looks great. A cheaper alternative to the "covers" they sell. Personally, this is the one area of the 996 that I dislike the most and would be the first thing that I modified if I had one. Great job, I'd do it.

Came out well and it's a nice way to hide the yellow of the MKI headlights. I actually prefer the look of the 996 MK2 headlights more than the round "Frog Eye" Porsche look. Interesting that the headlights are one of the more controversial items on the 996...people tend to either love or hate...

I think it looks great too. Well done.

How about a full frontal photo?

And what do you do for turn signals?

I'm goin to mod my side markers with some led signals! If they turn out like I envision them I'll build a couple and make some kits with instuctions and pass them on for a couple bucks!

does the signal light see through the paint?

what happens when you get rock chips? the paint would come off easily.
