Does anyone else not love their headlights?
Just me or do they sort of have an egg shape going on?

I personaly wouldnt mind a 997 or even 992 flatter style headlamp.

Or maybe that egg bubble thing realy works with the shape of the 991.2 T

Sorry if this has been discussed elsewhere. I did search but beinglazy and did not search too hard

I never noticed major differences, but Janko mentioned in one of his videos that the 992 shape is much nicer and not as egg shaped. I don't feel like the 991.2 is egg shaped at all. Oval, yes. But not egg. I think you also have to look at it from a lower angle. If you're looking down on them and standing in front of the car, they look completely different than if the car was coming toward you on the road.

997 and 992 are round but flat. 991 sort of bubble.
I also NEVER thought “egg” until watching Jankos video! He f’in ruined the headlights for me :-)

thanks Janko! - but great videos - keep it up, love them!

Swapped the gold hood crest for black and white

Removed the door decals and went with this. Proud that its a T - but a little more subtle. Might grab these: https://vinylsportclassic.com/collec...-sport-sticker

I was not a fan of the T wheels - but I dont like aftermarket wheels so I went with the stock RS spyder wheels from porsche

We left the factory badges on the rear for now — TBD if they will remain.

Back home - up next full Stek PPF film...and most likely techart springs and some spacers for a slightly more aggressive stance. I did the cat bypass but cant figure out how to post the video - sounds killer

I don't see it either...but then I don't know what the guy is talking about half the time.

I really love those wheels.

I took my door decals off, I would say it looks fine with them, but stands out less with them removed. Either way is good, as is your new decal

Did I mention, I love your wheels

I however took mine all off completely, and went with a larger retro PORSCHE decal. Individual tastes.... ;-)
Retro looks good, are the letters black or dark gray?

I'm baffled at Porsche. I can't get a loaner from two different dealers in the are for like a week. Need to get the 2nd gear grind looked at. Doesn't make sense to me that they don't have a bunch of VW Jettas or Golfs in their loaner fleet. I don't care what they give me, just need to get to work and home. Do you guys have the same issue? I had an easier time getting a loaner at Subaru.

Both of those photos were of the original agate gray PORSCHE lettering, just two viewing angles for perspective.

The 911T badge I added separately, found a source for these online from a 1970s era T. They have silver, gold, and flat black versions. I was looking to remove all the agate gray from my car, since it seemed busy with black, red, and the gray. So the side stripes were replaced, with he deck grill replaced with a GTS version (flat black), and the brand logo.

After I peeled off the original PORSCHE letters, I had my graphics guy make the following livery decals..
