Looks terrific. I'm thinking about a carbon fiber (CF) trim to compliment other CF trim items, but this is really a nice option. I wonder how noticeable it'll be on a black car?

Thought about carbon fiber trim covers as well, they look fine in photos but in real life one can always tell are add-on covers. Vinyl trims on the other hand have a more integrated factory look.

JoelPirela is having his black car done, hopefully we will see some pics soon and you can be the judge for yourself.

Yes I'd like to see it on a black car as well. Carbon should look great on black.

I believe there is actually a "Carbon-look" trim option on their website.

I prefer the classic design of 997 headlights.

Installed the headlight trims on my black 997. They look amazing. The vinyl is so thin, that it looks like it's painted.... exactly the look I was after and the color perfectly match my black color! I will post pictures tomorrow...

Installation is easy... just spray both sides of the vinyl and the headlight. lay the vinyl on the headlight and use the provided squeegee or towel to iron out the bubbles...

This is my install:
