Looks like the headlights could use a little polish. Buy the Meguiars headlight restore kit. Will do wonders and not that difficult to do on your own.

That's my daily and newest bike I own.

Have another one just like it with Marchesini wheels that I paid peanuts for

This is the guy who won the headlights from my 996 on ebay. He put a fresh coat of paint on the covers and cleaned them. Claims he didnt know his "boxter" had "halo" lights



Mind you he paid $63 SHIPPED.


For two OEM headlights

Gotta love capitalism

I bought a set of later clear tail lights.
I think the red/amber are growing on me more and more

Wait are these the lights you sold for $68 that are now being offered at $425?

Upon further inspection looks like they did not sell for that price. Or at all.

You know I was never a fan of the amber headlights on my mk1. Most likely because it looked odd to me at least on a black car but something about yours just makes them look right. One quick polish and they'll look even better. Don't have any side profile shots do you? Trying to decide what side skirts I want to go with and haven't seen many photos of the TechArt ones
