Did you see the pictures on the previous page? I think that even amber headlights look good after retrofitting.

AWESOME look!

Depending on the color of the car, I would say that our amber headlights are sexy and unique looking. Definately NO NEED to de-amber (tail lights are a whole different story )

Now, I exactly know, how I want my headlights to look. Just need someone to 3D-print those and get them chromefinished.

What do you think?

I'm not sure...doesn't really flow right to me. It's hard to visualize, though.

yeah, it is difficult.
My personal taste is to "Retro" the look of my "classic" Boxster...a Tribute to the old school 550/356/911 look, with decent (not too tacky ) chrome trims/applications...to give it even more soul

Back (installed):


Side (installed):

18" silver spokes Fuchsfelgen will follow in spring together with
original Aerokit I side skirts (ready to be installed)

Front: Just need to have something up front to keep the balance (photoshoped)...front lights would look fantastic in seal gray, but with eyeliner
