Sister Post to GT3 Forum -

Anybody have any experience with the Techart 997 Headlight Trim / Covers.

I am considering them and would appreciate any comments and/or the best source.

Thank you in advance,

 

I had mine installed and painted to match ... love the look as seen in these before and after pics

 

Looks beautiful.
Thanks for sharing.

I am pretty set on doing this.

 

I just bought them (them... well... replica) on a local "craigslist" website and they came with a glue to be used to fix them.
I was thinking to use some silicon sealant (high temperature) to be able to remove them in the future.
Do you have any tip/suggestion on this?
Thanks in advance.

 

I would use double sided tape instead of glue.

 

I agree.
Unfotunately I noticed that the replica covers are not 100% perfect so now I have another challenge first.
See if and how I can adapt them. The "interior" part (the one that will be gled/siliconed/taped to the headligh) need some finishing, if possible.
Not sure it was a bargain, though.

 

Have you considered KI Studio Vinyl Headlight Surround Trim? It achieves the same look as the Techart or its replica, and can be removed easily.

Yes. I was thinking of that before finding the ones I bought.
Now I'll check how much do the paintshop charge me for the painting since I paid 50 chf for the trims primed while the KI studio option would be more than 100usd shipped (only available in gloss black and not in basalt black metallic)

 

I have them....

 

I did mine in vinyl wrap... love the look.

 

Nice!
Are they the original techart or a copy?
How did you fix them?
Do you have any close-up pics?
Thanks!

 

These are original TechArt. I also have the wheels and rear spoiler. These items were installed when I purchased the car. I added the GT3Tek lip to finish the look. I believe they come with adhesive tape pre-installed on the ring. Peel and stick (carefully!). Here is a closeup.

 

Rep+ given

Be kind, make me another small favour.
I need to understand how big is the gap between the ring and the upper part of the "wheelarch" (sorry for my english but I really have no clue on how to name it).
I fear that mine are not properly shaped.
Thanks again.

 

This is everything I have already uploaded. If you really need measurements in mm, I can break out the calipers and take new photos.

 

Dear Super Adjuster, the last two pictures are perfect for my understanding.
