So have you guys noticed whether your new lenses were made in Germany or France (or somewhere else)? Just trying to figure out if they're Genuine Porsche or OEM grade...

No wax, took them out of the box and 5 screws later they were installed.

I had the entire car repainted about 5 years ago (two stage). I use Griots Garage products and I've been happy.

Just tried 303 myself recently, it lives up to the hype. Detailed Image has 67 positive reviews for the product. I've seen many recommendations here and elsewhere as well.

a fine line of silicone sealer where red meets black will keep the water out...make sure your bulb sockets have the seal ring on them as well

Out of interest were any 964 rear lights made by an after market manufacturer or are all the lights that are being sold on ebay etc genuine?

Does anyone know if the center reflector and tail lights are the same for US versions of the 964 as for ROW 964s?
