996 LED's front and back.... I'm in love all over again
 
The title speaks for itself. I decided that that my p car needed a little love. I drive it about 2k a year. I bought the headlights from Del Ray customs and the Dectane tail lights from FVD Brombacker in Florida. (FVD.us or .de) They are a branch of a German company so they can ship the lights here without the VAT. I paid $721 shipped to my door in So Cal. I did just checked and the Depo are a bit less on ebay. I think they're the same, not sure. The first set that they shipped were damaged in shipping due to VERY poor packaging. Namely they shipped them in the flimsy box that one would expect such items to be displayed in on a stores shelf. They chocked it up to a new shipping clerk and got on to the business of sending some new ones and arranging for the picking up of the old ones. Other than the delay it was a good experience. The owner called me from Germany to check on my experience. I posted some pics in an album called bye bye fired eggs......hilarious

You can't be THAT much in love with your 996 if you only drive her 2000 miles a year. When you are in love with a girl, that's ok to stay in the house and do whatever, but it's a 911 dang nammit and you need to take her out more often. She likes you to raise her temperature every couple of days. She likes to be man handled. Not to be left in a cold garage all alone. She likes for her booty to be lifted and tinkered with once in a while hahaha.

You kiss yo mamma with that mouth!?! LOL! I know that I don't give her the road time that she deserves. It's that damn work thang cutting into my "drive her like you stole her" every weekend thang. To be honest you do make a fair and legit point. On the other hand, I have shown her quite a bit of love with the lights, a show quality detailing, not to mention the fresh black rims and new Toyo Proxes all around. Cheers!!

No photos = it never happened. let's see 'em.

I've discovered that I'm not smart enough to do two things in this forum. The first is to embed pictures into a post. The second is to update my "garage" with my list of rides. Having said that, I did have my brain cell orbit around long enough to create an album labeled "bye bye fried eggs hello LED's! A little help for the forum challenged?

By the way, nice stripe!

Brilliant! Thanks.

Ok, so I put the link for the album that I created here under Albums. It just shows up as a link and doesn't embed the pics in the post. But it's a start. Here's the link to my pics. I hope you folks agree that my money was well spent!

How much we're the headlights? I just installed dectanes and its the best mod so far!

RDykmans 11-20-2013 11:55 AM

goto35 11-20-2013 02:35 PM

My problem on the headlights are that my headlight have the jet sprayer. I don't know if I want to lose that.
