Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi All, I recently created this headlight trim for the 996 mk1 and wanted to share with the group. I know this forum generally doesn't like the headlight covers that make a 996 look like a 997. Here my goal was to create something subtle that accentuates the existing design and shapes in the 996 headlight design instead of covering over them, kind of like how a Porsche 964 has a color matched ring around the headlight from the factory. Interested to hear the group's thoughts. I painted the headlight ring seal grey and the rest ocean metallic blue to match with the body of the car, but I kind of think I should have went with a matte black ring for more contrast.

I prefer these headlights on the Boxster, but I am might be biases since I own a 2004 996

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

My own car is a 996 mk2 (the boxster is my brother in law's) so I understand the preference. That said, the 996 mk1 headlight design has it's own charm and, to me, shows influence from the original air cooled porsche headlight design.

I like it on the Boxster better then the 996 I love my lights on the 996.1
