If anyone is in the Los Angeles area and wouldn't mind lending a hand, I would greatly appreciate if I could do a test fit on your car.

Hey guys,
I just 3d printed a prototype for a new version of the 996 mk1 headlight covers. This version doesn't have the turn signal cutout, which is a request I have gotten a lot. The covers are attached via silicone glue or double sided tape and would require relocating the existing turn signals to the bumper. If anyone is in the Los Angeles area and wouldn't mind lending a hand, I would greatly appreciate if I could do a test fit on your car. Needs to be a 1999-2001 (mk1) car without the headlight washers. There will be no adhesive used and no damage to the existing lens--I just need to lay it on top of the light to see if it sits flush. Will take 5 minutes max and I'll give a large discount on the covers to any one who offers a hand. I'm not going to mention my business or website here so as not to break forum rules but have attached a pic of the prototype as well as some pics of cars with the prior covers I designed that have the turn signal cutout. Message me at

Thanks guys. dwdm was nice enough to offer up his car so I am good for now.
Regarding the bodykit, I'm still planning on doing it but had to put on hold because I bought a fixer upper of a house that has turned into a moneypit. Will hopefully get back on track later this year.
While I love the 996.1 headlights as is and I have no plans change mine, these are the best-looking ones I've seen, especially painted in body color. Good job!
I agree that the bezel around the headlight really looks good and elevates these over the other covers I've seen. What about doing something similar with the turn signal opening to make it look more finished out and less like a hole revealing something just sitting underneath?
