Switched out front headlights with modern 992 style Morimoto’s.

Looks better. I can see better. Great upgrade for my 997.2.

Also added matte black Ki Studios headlight surrounds.

Yes once you put the decals on you spray them with a few (thin) layers of clear coat.

The process I followed was:
1. Clean, sand
2, alcohol to clean
3. primer
4. caliper paint
5. decal
6. clear coat



Here’s what I used!

Finished EMC2’s side skirt mod on my 997, took a bit longer than I expected but it was worth it.

Completed install.

Looks great! I've also been considering this mod. Mind me asking where you sourced and how much?

Just a drive in the misty morning! Rear wheel spacers in yesterday. Waiting on front (had to make sure the size was right)
15mm in the rear with 295 tires. Gonna drop the coils 1/2” for final fitment. Fronts will get 15mm as well.

I’ve been considering spaces lately. I’m at stock PASM height tho. Not sure that the 15mm up front would be needed without the tuck from a drop.

Took a drive to some new places that I don't usually explore. It's been snowing (and salting) here constantly for weeks so I took advantage of a little break in the cycle.

I believe most are running 7mm if I recall my searching correctly on non lowered.

Yeah, I think I’ve read 7 and 15. I will do some research before I pull the trigger. Thanks.

I have a .2 C4S and went with 7/15mm as that seems to be conventional wisdom. However once lowering the car on coilovers, there's room for some more mm. In hindsight, I should've maybe lowered then measured and bought spacers. 7/15 looks good, just not perfection. Going for flush look.

7/15mm on H&Rs

The 15mm is pretty flush and the 7mm is a bit in-board so there is room for a bit more. Maybe another 5-7mm?

I checked out these 2 sites:
morimotohid.com/
lightwerkz.net/

Lightwerkz was slightly cheaper and I also got the sense that Morimoto didn't have stock!
They're the same though.
