Some have tinted or blacked-out headlights that doesn't go well with the overall set-up of the vehicle resulting in cheesiness (I've seen a lot of those) and I've seen some tinted headlights that went really well with the overall look of the vehicle. I think it is how the overall vehicle is set-up.

Another option for the headlights is the Techart covers.

160$ for both. also did the 3rd brake light (60$) btw, i think u can paint the "inside" of your headlights, just like the ones porsche makes for the special edition gts. defintly will look better then tinting/paint your headlights.

OK so I finally am updating this with my picture. I tried to have someone install the film but they had a lot of difficulty and ended up reccommending I just put a light coat of paint on them instead. So i did and its about 3 layers deep and matched to what the film would have looked like. Its very subtle, in fact you can hardly tell, but if you compare the red in the Cayenne taillights to the red in my WRX taillights you can see a difference.

lights are meant to see and be seen, tint covers that up.

for safety, i wouldnt.. also if you paint the calipers yellow it comes across as wannabe PCCB's to some.

go check out Custom Wheels Boutique there in fredericksburg. Pretty sure they can do headlight and taillight tinting.

I'd stay away from the headlamps, though. Remember, that's the only thing that allows you to see at night. And if you must do taillamps, do it extremely light, because again, that's the only thing people see of you at night.

I don't believe either is legal in virginia, though.

This looks perfect. More shots of the Cayenne (What exhaust on the Cayenne looks hot!), as well as the rest of your rides

I would refrain from blacking out the headlight and taillights. The all black vechicles lose the sophistacation of Porsche and take on a ricer look in my opinion.
