Red Tail Lenses

Does any one know where I can get red tail lenses for my NB 996 like they make for the Boxter/Cayman?

We have guys in our group that used special spray paint for clear lens. I don't think they make one for 996.

I've also heard of painting them. But, those I've seen look painted. What did you think?

On my lexus, I put a red film over the clear, you would not see it if you were looking for it. On the 996, I tinted the whole upper lense and will red out the bottom half with film.

Not a fan of it. Don't look right at all!

I'm really surprised no one makes the red tail lenses. I would think a lot of people would buy them, especially 996 owners with the amber job.

For the lexus, I actually got them from the classifieds on Club IS, the forum. The film for the 996, I have not found a source for, so I will be cutting it myself.

Ditto on the pics - all red on a 993 looks great, but have never seen one on a 996...

Still waiting for the red film to get here...




I put a layer of tint on the headlights too and made the black blend into the lines that the car was made to have.


And a red ring around the mirrors
