Oh also i got the 3M lense protector for the headlight so the paint doesn't chip of from the rocks from the road. The fact is I never owned a stock car in my life and the porsche I promised my wife I wouldn't change ... so what I told a little white lie.. she isn't going to leave me I think..LOL

also what can be done is this: paint the turnsignal body color, and make the little triangle be a turnsignal, that might ba another way to go about it.

i was thinking about body color, but changed my mind

if you decide to paint it a transparent body color, you should have the border go from straight... into having a few curves to simulate a Newer 996 headlamp.

well i really didnt like the idea of painting them body color since then my turnsignal wouldnt blink orange buy green/blue whatever the color of my car feels it wants to be that day, and thats as illegal as it gets.

Well have you thought it retro fitting turnsignal bulbs inplace of the daytime running lights... the ones that turn on when you turn your headlamp switch into the 1st posistion that turns on your dash lights?

Not a bad idea, All youd need is to move the wires to that socket and paint the bulb orange.

here is a closeup for those who asked. car is not really clean, but you see that the color match is pretty good with the rest of the headlight

found this site
 
this looked interesting for those who hate the orange

and much cheaper then spending 1300.... if you want the clear headlight

those are for already clear lights, but htey just have orange inside that needs to be removed, but the lense is actually clear ;)

ok ... i got my car back from doing the kit and let's say it's really low maybe too low . When i hit a bump is scrapes the front bumper undeneath. The kit makes it look totally different but now i am curious to se if i get a bigger profile of tire or maybe go up to 19's . In nj it is kinda of hard to find a road which is smooth expect the highway. I am thinking if I should remove the kit since it might be extremely hard to drive it always worrying about if i am going to wreck the front. Also , the silver pain on the amber does come through alittle and also decided to the sidemarker in silver as well. I will post pictures this weekend
