I just happened to find them on Suncoast and glad someone has bought and installed them.

EDIT-found them on eBay for $45.99 shipped.

Do it without hesitation. I have them on my jet black and it looks much better. Even a closer match on volcano. There are pics on the macan forum on a volcano, I think in the flat 6 thread.

As if you needed more convincing, here's yet another tinted on Agate:

ditto, smoke grey on mine, looks just fine, the Suncoast smoked ones were TOO thick and did not fit the lenses well, I sent them back

Trying to visualize what didn't fit - can you explain some more? Thanks.

They were a bit too long and a bit too tall, and with the extreme thickness, they just didn't 'hug' the lenses as well as a custom film applied by a pro

Thanks for sharing guys, was very curious to see what the tinted ones would look like on an Agate, been rocking the Lamin-X covers on my Agate T for the last couple of years (given lack of options) so may just opt for these. This is what it looks like with the Lamin-X film:

Holly smokes......what method did you use to lower it and are you on spacers?

Like another person above, I bought the same side markers on eBay and had an issue with the driver side not always lighting up. I resolved it by reversing the bulb adapter.

Used what I personally think is the best method for our platform (but not the cheapest ) - H&R Air Suspension module. It's by far my favorite mod, rank it higher than the Cobb AP. Works very similar to a 'piggy back', it is a module that plugs in your PASM module (in the trunk), under 60 mins install and can go back to stock with a bypass without even taking it out. This is the out-of-the-box setting, a further 30mm drop is possible (and you can regulate front and rear separately).

Running a modest 10mm spacer all around (with extended lugs). And now that the Michelin Pilot 4Ss are finally available on our 265/295 21' fitment (can thank MB AMG GLC 63S for that), she handles sportscar-like, and finally have the handling buttoned exactly where I want it.

Two questions

1. Can you keep the lowered height at speed?

2. How harsh is the ride, at what drop value, what settings selected?

1. It is setup that above 43mph (or thereabouts) the height increases for added comfort
2. Not harsh at all, I would describe it as firmer and more sporty, but wouldn't at all call it harsh (in a kidney jarring way) I have been largely driving it from the out-of-the-box setup and I find it just perfect, played a bit with the settings (even just for the heck of it giving the Macan a 'gasser' look LOL, so the ride gets noticeably firmer [less suspension travel] as you drop it to the extreme, naturally)

One of the immediate distinctions from a feel perspective is the noticeable decrease in body roll (e.g. taking spirited turns over uneven pavement). A lot more controlled, composed, and planted now, which makes sense given lower COG.
