996 Mod - Embracing the Fied Eggs
Continuing on the quest to improve the aesthetics of this former daily driver 996 it was time to tackle those ever controversial fried egg headlights. This car spent a good deal of time (years) where it was parked outdoors at least 8hrs a day. The Alabama sun took its toll on the paint and the headlights. The sun damage on the paint was fixed and I performed the standard wet sand and clear poly treatment to the headlights. The yellow was gone but I just didn't like the shape of those lights. A quick peruse of eBay informed me that new headlights were way out of budget and the 997 headlight kits just didn't look good. While surfing this forum I stumbled upon a gorgeous yellow 996 with tinted headlights. Great look! So I spoke with a few tint and wrap shops about this and how it affects the brightness of the headlights. All said it shouldn't be a problem. If figure if it is it is reversible.
So here you go, the last aesthetic mod for this car. She's now done as far as I'm concerned barring any more mechanical issues, but that's another story ...
