do you mean it's made of carbon fiber? for 350 euros, I would assume it must be lol. Any US vendors that sell this? I don't care if it's CF or plastic, I would want to paint it factory color anyway

I like the look of your headlight covers. You did a great job.

My question is, do they stay on at high speeds ?

How did you attach them to your headlights ?

Any advice ?

THKS and PLS advise - JIM in Texas

Which auction site z06? I'm reading on my iPhone app which sets up the site differently. And madmax yea I think it's fairly expensive for fiberglass for headlight covers. 350 euros is basically 500 US dollars which i think is a bit much for fiberglass headlight covers but maybe it's just me.

they are glooed with silicone because in case you want to
remove them not to harm the headlights plastic.
dont worry they dont go anywhere with any speed.
about the cost dont forget the techart covers wich they are really
expensive and dont like them at all because they make the car look
somethink like a japaneese cars and dont like a porsche.
maybe you will find at the ebay others tuners more cheap than
the techart between 80-140$ but because i have already buy them
i want to tell you that its a peace of ...........they dont stant on the
headlight they dont have the right sape they dont have same hall and
they are made of a very cheap fiberglass thaht crack even with your finger
you get what ever you pay
sorry for my english

Thanks for you input on the headlight covers.

Who did you buy your headlight covers from ? What did you pay for them ?

Remind me, didn't you paint your headlight covers to match the color of your car ?

Thanks - JIM in Texas

Hey another headlight mask thread

just to give ya guys a heads-up, if you use film it will shrink about 20% with the heat of the sun and headlights.

The fiber-glass ones are quiet thick and fitment is from so so to just plain terrible...

I've tried both of the above and finally ended up with the techart poly ones, they are rather expensive but sometimes ya get what ya pay for

I've also seen some people who've had theirs painted which looks pretty good too.

cheers,

Sid.
