Smoking tail lights and a few mod questions
Hey Fellas
Today marks 1 month I have owned my Cayenne and its awesome I have a few plans for it which ill mention at the end of this post. I want to smoke my tail lights
I googled around I saw a few pics from Suncoast and Laminix but I have a tinter who is a perfectionist who i've been going to for 10+ years so I want him to tint my tail lights.. last I remember he has 5%, 20, 25% 35% 55%
My question is I want to match the 2014 Turbo S as perfect as I can and I almost took a ride tonight to his shop just to check out his tints and put them on the tail light to take a few pics for comparison but got lazy.
What % am i most focusing on? the fake white spot on the tail light I would think needs to be a little darker so I may inquire about that too
Couple mods I plan on doing will be adding the Turbo S exhaust tips i'll end up having to weld them.
I am going to paint the calipers yellow all around
Smoking tail lights of course
I already bought and installed 4 new Continental DWS 06 within the first 2 weeks
I am considering 20" Turbo style wheels but that's the last thing I need right now lol
I will get the secondary downpipe probably by year's end too

Don't know the percentages, but this post has a side by side shot of the normal and dark tail lights from when I switched them out. Don't know if that can help your guy judge it better.

I researched different tint options for the rear taillights for a while, but in the end I knew I wasn't going to be completely satisfied without going the OEM route. I found a fantastic deal on the Tequipment Porsche 958 tinted/black tails along with dealer installation.
Did you check eBay? I've seen the OEM GTS 958 tail lights show up from time to time there at very attractive prices (compared to new).
Just another route to consider.

You really want pain, look at the price for the PDLS blacked out headlights So worth it though

I would go with paint over tint if you don't want to replace them. Much nicer OEM like finish.
best pic I have, but these are the OEM tinted ones on the cayenne
and on my 991, painted by my favorite body shop

is that a 958.2? looks it.
I looked ebay I found pieces from different sellers for tail lights not really my style to buy from 3 or 4 sellers I also found a seller in poland selling for 510 shipped for the complete set but a little out of my price range its not so much the money its more of a this isnt worth $500 + install kind of mod.

Anyone need a 958.2 set thats a steal I think
I may have to take my time on the tail lights and when I find them for the right price or if I can paint/match the tail lights identical to OEM I will
I think first though will be the painting calipers yellow and welding Turbo S exhaust tips.
Also still need to fix those read window shades although I was able to get the shades them self to stay up so thats good lol

I studied your 991 tail lights on my imac and considering I don't want to pay a large price for new tail lights and the tinting may not be perfect and if it's not I know how I am it'll eat my away until i fix it costing me more money lol. Even if it didn't match perfectly like OEM I still really like the shade on the 991 maybe a tad lighter but I wouldn't complain either way

What did you mean by paint over tint? you mean just paint over the OEM or add a tint sheet and paint over that?

Before we go back to the topic on hand.. on a side note.. So 991, Cayenne 958.2 and a a M4 with a newer style Z and a 08+ vette.... and to think I did well for myself lol I guess not lmao
Thats AWESOME though.. im a BIG car guy so seeing that collection is just Aces in my book lol
That 370z is where I wanna be with an aftermarket tail light in the coming days/weeks I gotta reach out to my body shop whenever I call them they know I want something done lol
EDIT : I notice a theme in your cars - clean, black and hooked up lol
