991 LED's
 
1 Attachment(s)
I am not sure what everyone thinks about the new 991 front LED's, but to me, they seem to be shifted off of the air ducts too much. They are not only cut off weird at the bottom, but they wrap around, ending further out than the air duct. I like the 997.2 ones much better, seem to flow better. And if they wanted the "squished look" to go with the tailights, then at least match them to the ducts. What do others think?

as Design CEO Mauer said: they wanted the front to look as wide as possible. that´s the reason why the LEDS and the headlights are further out.

I like them. I can't wait to see them in the dark. I am sure they will look stunning.

I really like the new LEDs. I love my car, but have always felt that the front LEDs look a bit like an "Oh crap! We have to put LEDs on it!" afterthought.

ha ha ha. I am pretty sure that isn’t far from what actually happen during the design process. I have a good felling all the design flaws on 991 we have been talking about so far will not be as prominent once we see and walk around the actual car.

I noticed the same thing. I cant say how I feel until I see the car in person. The also had to make it look even less like a 997 and this is one more place where its different.
