Description of the New MK1 Covers:

(We will have them in stock soon)

These headlight covers fit all 1999-2001 Porsche 911 (996 Mk1) models (excluding Turbo) and 1996-2004 Porsche Boxster (986) models. The covers will convert your car's headlights to a classic round Porsche headlight look and are made of high quality polyurethane (the same material as car bumpers) that is impact and temperature resistant. This all-original design was created working with an automotive industry 3D designer referencing a 3D scan of the original headlight to ensure optimal fitment. There is no comparison with cheap, fiberglass covers on the market.

The covers come as unpainted black polyurethane, prepped for painting, and can be adhered with 3m double sided tape or silicon adhesive. It is recommended to put a headlight protective film (e.g., Xpel) over the headlights before adhering the covers to ensure easy removal with minimal tape/glue residue.

Please note the covers will cover over the fog lights, however the turn signals remain visible through the oval cutout. The turn signal cutout can be covered over with optional turn signal cutout plug (sold separately). For cars with headlight washer nozzles in the corners, the washers will need to be popped out and removed before installation and the covers will cover over the hole completely.

For the first generation headlight cover would someone please mind clarifying . . .

For this upgrade, are the washers that “need to be popped out” the black nozzles as shown below;


Or does the headlight need to be removed and the entire triangle piece from the washing assembly the piece that needs to be removed (as seen in the photo below);


I am sure from Dmitry’s description only the black nozzles need to be removed leaving the headlight to look like the photo below . . .

I just want to be sure. . . that portion of the headlight where the nozzles pop into does seem to be raised and may interfere with the headlight cover.

Thanks in advance for the clarification.

Porsche uses BASF Glasurit paint. If you have a metallic color, nothing else will match exactly. No "blending" required. I found the paint at my local English Color and Supply store. I painted the headlight rim with Rustoleum Charcoal Gray, then applied two-part clear coat to the entire piece.

This is gorgeous

I am having trouble matching the color. I will probably go to a Professional since my color is unusual

I think black is the best for the headlights covers. The lines blend in better.
