So I recently sourced a set of 991.1 red tailights, and plan to swap them in. However, the DIY videos I found on YT make it seem an easy job on non-turbo 991s because you can flip the rear wing up and access the bolts securing the taillight, however the fixed whale tail of the Turbo seems to be in the way, so I have no idea how to access them. Any ideas?
Lol. I just changed mine from red to clear. I have both so I guess I could go back and forth. Here are the directions for a bumper removal. Just follow the beginning parts to see how to get to the lights. It took me about an hour taking my time and being careful. Not a hard job at all. https://rennlist.com/forums/991-turb...wap-hints.html
I like the rear lights better on the .2 but the front of the .1 more. I do wish it was a direct swap.
+1
The front turn signals on the .1 look like someone designed them for the car as opposed to the .2 look more like an autozone stick on kit. The .2 non turbos front turn signals blend in better than the turbos imo. Do like the .2 rear lights though. WHy can't they ever get it all right? Guess thats where mufus comes in
It's too much money. Plus the car is worth more with original body parts and paintwork. This would make sense if your car was in an accident and they needed to replace these parts anyway, but otherwise you'd be better off putting this money towards a new car. These days the spread between a used 991.1 and a 991.2 is $20-40k depending on what car you have.

thank you, but opinions are biased. I do love the .2 rears, but also the fronts. looks more muscular, more..manlier.
however, even if it is possible to have a .1 front and a .2 rear , it would not be right.
It is like stock wheels from another generation..imaginne having a 997.2 with 991.2 turbo s wheels. they just dont feel right..

I sometimes enjoy cross generation wheels, especially on older cars like several 996 wheels look good on 993 etc. Each to own though, opinions are biased
I like the front DRLs much better on the .1 cars. I think the .2 tail lights look better during the day, but the .1 tail lights look better at night.
Another option to consider if you don't like the factory clear tail lights is to tint them. I bought precut film to tint mine, but I haven't done it. Not sure if I will.

Or you can purchase factory tinted GT3RS tail lights
