Not only your new headlights looks fine, but your porsche car as a whole is absolutely stunning mate. GT bumper, skirts, low stance, lipped wheels and the polished deep black paint job on it (sure I'm missing the details). Man.... just right between bad ass and highend luxury - niceee nice nice work (I like+100)

Thanks a lot

It also has a little/tuned 996 3.4 Liter engine, 100 Cel cats, etc

I'm also going for lighter wheels in the future. Maybe gold OZ Ultraleggera's!

Its official, I hate you (lol)

When you have a min shoot a pic from of the back of the car in a 45 degree angle if you can. You got the offset and low stance right. Something that I am very interested doing as well (coilovers, adj this & that rods).

(ps. keep the wheels mate... they are spot on if you ask me)

Yes! Wil do. The current wheels are 19*10.5 ET38 they fit perfect. No rubbing, etc. the car is lowered with Bilstein PSS9 coilovers.

The lights look incredible I agree with keeping the wheels and put me down for being jealous of the 3.4L too! Very Nice!

The latest batch is in.

Beautiful work as always, Fred! There are going to be some very happy 986 and 996 owners out there in the next couple weeks!

You're killing me! :-)
Actually, it will be cool to see them on your car with all the black and white and them see them on my car that is all black (except for the amber!). Thanks for the in progress pics!

Sorry about the wait guys

I completely flooded Fred with orders over the last couple weeks, but he's doing them in order of receipt and yours (Richard) aren't too far behind.
And, of course, they are well worth the wait

Particle, you have so many headlights in the oven there is no opportunity for you to cook your dinner anymore.

Your customers are going to have to send KFC coupons along with their headlights so you get an opportunity to eat as well.

That black bezel looks awesome! Yes, choices, way too many Probably need several different sets of color combos depending on my mood

Yes! Please send extra crispy (that's my fav)

I should have taken pics on Saturday... I had six sets of lights in my kitchen going through the oven like a production line every 15 minutes.
It took about 3 1/2 hours, but it's so much easier to do them at once like that.

It's a good thing my gf was at work because if she saw that, I'd have to come sleep on someone's couch, too!
