I personally love the look of the black headlights the GTS comes with, but the price to replace the headlights are astronomical. I also looked around and found that techart has fiberglass rings that you can paint, however the ring seems to be a bit too thick and costly.
So I thought what about plastic dip. well I ended up taping the headlights where the grey part meets the black with electrical tape (easier to bend)
before grey
i masked off the rest of the headlight. i sprayed it with plastic dip and removed the tape before it drys. voila! a clear cut line.
after black
this mod cost me $12 in material and about 1 hour of my time. i think my car looks way better than before. This is an easy mod that anyone can do.
Looks great! Good job. The other nice thing about using 'dip is that if you put it on thick enough, it acts as a protective film so you don't get chips, scratches and stuff on that part of the lens.... Love it.
I love your techart pieces. Do you have issues with scraping?
thanks. my car is lowered on techart sprimgs as well its scrapes at steep driveways, but i have learned to detect those areas that may scrape and if you approach slowly at an angle it wont scrape. I had a 2008 c6 ZO6 with the sport lip and that car was way lower than my 991, so its been actually easier.
