Doesn't blacking out the headlights make it just a tiny bit chancey driving in the dark?

Nope blacking out the headlights has no effect as the product used is totally legal here in the UK when you get up close its a perforated vinyl that lets the light through normally but looks very effective from a few feet away!

I like the tinted windows but I actually like the silver trim...makes it pop. I like the Porsche lettering but again in silver. Don't get me wrong I think it looks great I just prefer the original trim. Great work!

All the silver window trim and pillars etc etc are still on the car i have either covered them in Matt black vinyl or caron fibre vinyl, so it all can be removed later if i want to change back same with the headlight takes seconds to remove the vinyl

I was just getting ready to order the Lamin-x headlight protectors for my Cayenne. Did you go with the 6% or the 12% ????
I had the Blue one's on my Saab and loved them. I'd love to go blue or yellow, but I just don't think they would go well with Titanium.
