even if you are not a huge fan of the .2 oem tail lights, it is the main signature of the .2, so I say leave'em stock.

Completely agree, and I actually like the 991 rear end. But this is awful.

People spend 2k plus to convert .1 tail lights to .2. For a reason. This thread is making my head explode.....

different is not necessarily better

All of the photos look photoshopped, so maybe they look better in reality?
The company is in Rancho Cucamonga for anyone in SoCal maybe they’ll hook you up for photos.

People rarely use Photoshop to make the original picture look worse ..

Such a small change I don’t think I would notice. Therefore I say nope.

Feels a little like when longhoods were no longer in fashion and people converted them with a kit to look like impact bumper cars. What a mistake!

I may be the minority here, but I do like the smaller lights vs larger standard light if it was originally so designed. As you can see, I've removed the telltale gaps below the light. There is no way I will put the DEPO on my car, even if it was free, because it will look aftermarket and an afterthought design.

Definitely "yay", if you're in West L.A. and your pink 997 with 22" wheels is too subtle.

Otherwise, uh... "nay"
