As an update on this thread, I did receive my supply of new covers from my preferred vendor last week and have disassembled my trial 991 headlight to verify that the repair process will be the same as I have used to replace the covers for the 981 Cayman / Boxster series headlights.
I also did purchase some specialty paints and painting equipment to modify the interior trim parts as some clients have asked for the option to dechrome the interior parts at the time of cover replacement.
So yes, I can currently replace the headlight covers on the 991 but waiting to verify I can achieve interior trim refinishing to a level of OEM quality before officially offering a "black out" option.
I plan to add the option to purchase replacement cover service on the website this week and will update the thread once its live. (I have full time work during the day and my free time is somewhat limited during the holiday season)
I have completed many sets of 981 headlights for Rennlist members but no 991 lights as of yet so hopefully one of the first here can soon provide feedback to others and also review of the quality of the work for the forum.
Headlight cover replacement service for the 991 series Carreras is now active on the site.
OEM dark metallic grey trim in stock, silver trim pending arrival in the next few weeks.
Is this dark grey the same as on the PDLS (bi-xenon, non-LED) lights on the 991.1? Or, more importantly, these aren't the same as the "black" trim on the optional black headlights?
Update: I am having to go to a vendor membership since I am now offering services to members. So hopefully my posts remain up until that is finalized.
Finished my trial run and found that full disassembly of the lights is required for a factory like result.
Very time intensive and with trials and errors but happy to say that I am absolutely pleased with the final results.
I will be able to offer a "Black Out" interior option for clients also with new covers replacing the silver trim color with dark grey metallic.
991 lights look will be a GT3 style - matte finish on the original chrome parts
981 Cayman / Boxster look will be GT4 style - gloss black covering the original chrome parts.
