I was always a little turned off by the chrome backing on the late model 996s, but it looks good black.

Despite the fact that some of you "didn't notice a difference" you are, in fact, hindering the light output. On top of this, IMO, it doesn't even look that good.

There's definitely a difference when putting smoked film on the headlights. I had a light one on my g35 for a year, and when I took it off, the xenon's were brighter, and the cutoff sharper.

I e-mailed Dave too but with no luck yet but its only been a couple of days.

Hes missing an opportunity here as I am sure he would get at least a dozen or so right away.

Hope I hear from him soon...summer is coming!
