Default Headlight moldings..which are the best quality

Dear Guys

I'm interested in buying some headlight moldings for my soon to be delivered TTX50. I have seen the HAMANN moldings which seem ok. Any others that you guys would recommend as I aint very clued up on this type of accessory.

Thanks DonnyJ

They are for a black TT ...I think they look better on a black car cos the shaadows of the molding edges are not pronounced and they look more integral to the car

DonnyJ

anyone seen any photos of moldings on black cars?

Ya know......on black they really aren't that bad........course you might be accused of trying to make your 996 look like a 997

I think Gert can get you a price.........I know there used to be some pics up on either Stroseks or Fred Opert's site.....can't recall if any were black.

They just look too aftermarket...if somone made a whole 1/4 panel that fit the lights under it and made the whole thing flush, that would be cool. These just look like the owner just wanted to have every body mod he or she can, without regard for the disruption to the overall lines, but that is MHO.
