Headlights...Strange Looking
Just saw a 991 last night at the PA car show. Overall, I think it is a great evolutionary design, inside abd out.
But what the hell is up with the clear "bug eye" glass over the head lights.
It is really strange looking!! I never noticed it in pictures before and at certain angles it becomes invisibe but at other angles it looks like my old dog when she had cataracs! i hope this look does not last long.

Has anyone else noticed this yet?

Love it. Best feature. Very early 60's era GT Ferrari headlamps. Beautiful.

Try to keep the Cd<.29 without it.

PS: It might be a little expensive to have rocks hit the Bi-Xenon headlights also.
