Halos Installed - Finally

Here are the photos of the halos intalled in my headlights. I went to a company called AAC who does halos for many other cars including my 300 SRT8.

DO NOT USE THEM!!!. I had them make custom halos to match the shape of the Porsche lights and it took them over 12 monnths and they screwed up the job so many times it was'nt even funny. Luckily, I still have my ooriginal factory lights and had sent them a spare set I purchased from ebay many years ago. Andy at AAC is the absolute worst person to deal with and I was at the point where I was just glad to have them back and look half *** decent. The flaws do not show up in the photos but up close you can see them and I know they are there.

The look is awesome but now I need to find someone that can tweak it just a little bit and do a nicer job. AAC sucks big time so if anyone knows another shop for this kind of work let me know as I want to send in another set for the same thing but want someone who will do it right.

Enjoy.

Never liked aftermarket halos on BMWs, same feelings on the Porsches.

Wow, technically they seem to look great in the pictures. I can't imagine what you are looking for in terms of quality. From the pictures, there are no flaws evident.

NOOOO!!!!!! RIP 996TT, you killed it lol

If you want a quality LED headlight job though, call up Jotech in Texas. They sent me some LED side markers and they are awesome. I know they do LED halo headlights for GTR's and Lambos. Goodluck.

Thanks for the honoest feedback guys.

In person they look great and everyone in the street takes a second look and give thumbs up and many people have commented how nice the lights look. IMO it does not look "rice" since they are quality halos and not the cheap ones from ebay. Gives the car a nice modern look. They are great as daytime running lights as well.

Thanks for the feedback for the shop in Texas. I'll look them up.

...Z4MET.
