heard from jeff today, he's checking with his oversees suppliers and will get back with me.

in the meantime, what do you guys think would look better on a seal grey 986, the chrome or the black housing?

on a seal grey? man, that's a hard one. I think both would look good. Probably black if you have an aftermarket bumper. Chrome if stock. I have an arctic silver and might go for the black one. Light colored cars would look good with the dark headlights while dark colored cars might look better with the chrome. Just my two cents, Or simply buy both Lol. Any other members that could post pictures of these headlights?

I'm lening toward black since I have the side markers smoked and the DEPO led smoke/red taillights (and tinted windows).

Getting the stock 17" wheels powder coated dark charcoal this summer too, so with all of that I think the black housings will mesh the best.

That should look very good I think. After mayor mods, wait a little so I can grow on you. The cool thing about your color is that is very versatile. Seal grey looks good regardless of what you do to it. Lets see if we can make a group purchase and get the price lower. If you do end up getting them, please post some pics for us.

No luck with Jeff at XtremeMotorcars.com. He said that, even with an order of 100+, the price won't be much different. So it looks like this is the best we'll be able to get for the time being.

So.. who's the first to order and get some pics up?

Are these just a simple plug and play?
