I am not associated with this sale, but I noticed the clear tails. Where would one find these, and what are your views on them???? If they are cheap it'd be a good temp light to preserve the oem lights.

Personally I think it contrasts too much with the red center reflector. I like the front clears but these look naff imo. Also, he is using the older SC center reflector and has put a 964 body kit on his car.

Sorry can't help on sourcing but you could email the seller and ask, worst is he doesn't reply...

sheesh -- with you Ilk, everything HAS to be better if it's bigger. bigger tail... bigger hp... (bigger firepower out the starboard side window...)

It's not even a 930. Did you look at the year of the car?

Now that you know the consensus here.... If YOU like them, then go for it. Why would you care what we think, it is your car.

Anyway... the car in the photo is not a 964... looks more like an earlier car with a body kit... probably using these lense covers:

Clear lense

Ohh yeah... I agree that the contrast with the rear center reflector is too much... but if you replace that center reflector with a white metal (similar to what LA964RS did) it might look better...

And no... there is no way I would do it to my car
