If it's not asking too much, can I get you to post a photo of the headlight covers you mentioned? Curious which ones they are and how they look on the front of your car.

I'm torn between installing covers to make the H/L's look more rounded vs. leaving stock.

Truth told, the Amoeba/fried egg lights are starting to grow on me... Hence the reason I'm on the fence.

Truth be told I had to wash the car before I would upload pics. That's why it had to wait till today.

That's a beautiful car with some really tasty upgrades. Personally not a fan of the headlight covers but that's minor. Drive it like you stole it and keep on smiling. My '04 C2 cab is also midnight blue metallic but with Savannah beige interior.

Thanks! Gorgeous car. Those covers look nicely color matched and mounted. A nice departure from the normal headlight look, I can see why you're torn on what to do.

Mine is black and does not have H/L washers, so would only be two openings.... I was ready to abort the idea, but your car has me wondering "what if" and "why not?" LOL! Thanks again...

Apparently, it is a TechArt interior, the ALU line. The grey/silver accents on the dash, console, trim and the seats are aftermarket. Although the seats have the Porsche logo and not the TechArt logo, so hmmmm.

Thanks to Alpine003 for sending me the link to the PDF for this.

I like those headlight covers! I'd leave them on. Some nice upgrades, the 3 spoke steering wheel and gear shift, plus the Techart stuff. Makes it standout without being rice.

Congrats on the new car!! It's beautiful. Your mechanic is right -- enjoy every minute of it! Headlight covers are a personal preference. I don't love them but others do and they're not offensive. Keep them if you like them, remove them if you don't or just want a change. Most importantly, keep driving!
