Default DIY:Porsche logo door courtesy light swap

This is probably the easiest mod you can do for the car.
I am actually surprised it came out really nice.
You end up having a nice Porsche logo projected on the ground, directly below the doors, as you enter the car.

Total cost was $28 dollars shipped, and maybe 5 minutes of time to install. Enjoy.

Dont know what 971 lights look like, suspect are identical. Look there, you will see if lights look same.

You post something on a public forum and - suprise surprise - you might get opinions that are not completely in line with what you had hoped for.

I'm aware that tastes are different. There is a reason an American suit looks quite different than an Italian one.

And now I'm off working on being a more cheerful person.

I just went and looked, mine are flush with the door panel. Visually they look similar in length and width...

I am kidding my friend. Dont get your speedo up in a crack. I careless if you think it it hideous. What matters to me is what I like.
We are not talking suits. We are not talking cars. We are talking preferences.

Have a good life.

These are off eBay. Cheap at about 15 bucks a pair (Left and right). So for full car it is about 30 bucks shipped.
Here is a sample link.

I had on my 970 (2015) , I took them off the old car but don't look like they will fit on the 971. Which is a shame, I think they look good.

I just installed my set and it's the best <$40 upgrade I've done yet. I think they look great and free shipping from China (how can they do that at <$10 ea?) didn't take very long at all.
