If they fit my 04 CTT I’d be interested as well

FWIW - I’ve used this kit from Cerakote with great results also. Seems like their ceramic coating helps protect against eventual UV decay too.

No affiliate relationship. Just another dumbo trying to get as many miles out of his CTT as possible.

Mine are also pretty ugly, but I found new lenses on AliExpress that I’m gonna try out. I got them this past week, just need time to get it done.. no affiliation either, YMMV.

Reviews sound like they were a good fit:

Ive used 303 as a UV inhibitor on all my plastics with great success, including lenses.

Europorsche914, I have wondered about those replacement lenses only, I never pulled the trigger cause they don't have the vertical lines in the lenses like the originals, and then wasnt sure how to get the originals off and if these would seal well.
never PPF mine cause read Porsche suggestes not too, but did my hood, fenders, nirrors, etc.
mine aren't yellow cause I ceramic or graphene coat them.
but mine do have very tiny hairline cracks in the lenses that make them look less clear.
gonna try a kit them PPF them to see if the adhesive helps fill the tiny lines. I know the film will provide more surface gloss
im gonna leave out the uv coating step and rely on the PPF. I like 3M pro film.

I tried restoring them, but it never really worked, and it didn't last long. I ended up buying these replacements from Amazon 18 months ago:

They went right in and they look and work great. (I got in ahead of the tarriffs, so they were $100 cheaper when I bought them.)

Thanks Shawn, I honestly never thought to look on Amazon!
I need the xenon, so a bit more, but they have them.

Much better price than FCP or ECS.

However, no drivers side is available!!!! Are you kidding me!
