Now that's very disappointing to hear. Are you suggesting I just install the kit and enjoy the look?

True they are faded pink brand new. With a vinyl application you are not only improving the look of your car but protecting the lenses as well.

cant tell ya. I went with new 6 years ago. At least they dont have the spider webcracks. Mine is garaged so the fading from new hasnt gotten worse.

SAM DACOSTA

My concern when I got the kit was that the vinyl would eventually lift and/or show negatively when viewed up close (wrinkles, creases, etc.) Mine came with a few creases, that I thought would show on the finished project. Am I being a little paranoid?

SAM DACOSTA

Jim, whenever you get a chance (if it's not a bother) would you post a picture of your new lens (6 year old) that I might see the 'pink' color of new? I do not know what to do now? Help and advice from all appreciated on this topic...

Funny, in all the boogeyman horror stories re the 964's 'classic' failings, pink tail plastic never gets mentioned.
But it's the one flaw that's 100% sure to happen, what every owner sees (& despises) walking up to their car, is expen$ive to replace, and replacement is no guarantee of being much better than the original.

Yet it's never mentioned as one of the car's classic flaws.

"Lonnie" how did you solve your personal dilemma with this 964 flaw/issue? And, where you successful and pleased with your outcome?

The discussion of vinyl overlays came up in the 944 forum. Here is an example of how to do it but how well it turns out and how easily it can be removed should you chose to get rid of it sometime down the road:

I was one of the original lab guinea pigs to Gus's taillight inventiveness.
And am still most pleased, with no change noted, one year later.
I recommend using it if you've got it.

The reason I ordered the kit from 'Gus' was because of the good response shared on the forum about the success of his product. The pictures posted showed very good improvement, especially when compared to their before and after look. I just got mixed emotions when I received the kit and realized it was an external application. I interpreted it to being an internal application and thus the mixed emotions over flowed. I never even thought of returning to 'Gus' as he did nothing wrong, it was me who misunderstood the application.

Since it can be removed easily and without leaving any glue residue on the lens, I'm going to install it this weekend and see for myself. I guess that's the only way to see if I would be satisfied with the final outcome.

Thanks for the comments and sharing to all. I'll post pictures when I'm done.

I bought a kit from Gus earlier this summer. I finally got around to installing the vinyl this afternoon. What a HUGE difference. I removed all the lenses and found that to make the install even easier for me.

Thanks Gus

A few pictures. Sorry, not the best.

wow, looks like a good solution for the fade.

And at 5% of the cost of new lenses, it can't be beat. I'm so glad I did this.
