Since my car is black, I guess I already have this "mod."

Maybe when I have my new nose pannel painted I'll have those done just to see how they look.....

But I do agree it looks good...

I don't like it. Makes the headlights look like bug eyes.

The only problem being the headlights are only up at night, and nobody will be able to see whats painted. You wont even be able to see it unless you park the car and leave it with the headlights up...

I'd have to see it in person to judge if i like it or not.

I like it, but I like the euro bumper more. I wonder how much one would cost with the lights if you had somebody buy you one and ship it over?

I don't know if i like the painted headlight housing , but i do know that the front end is badass. Does anyone know if i can get that for my 944?

I checked into getting a euro bumper a few months ago. The bumper and lights were cheap at around $200-$300, but shipping from the UK was around $300! Ithink the price I got for front and rear bumpers, lights, and shipping was $850.

I do think that it is the best look for the NA. Much better than the US bumpers.

Check www.baxglobal.com for shipping. I only paid 87 bucks for shipping a tranny to Cali from Cincinnati. I'm not too sure what the international charges would be, but they were about the cheapest I could find.

GT Racing has the Euro front bumper for $190 in Fiberglass. I can't comment on the quality though and you'd still needs the lights and mounting hardware.
