Haven't been able to find a pic but people seem to like this on their 987's.

I do!

GT Silver w/ red tail light kit. Simple mod and it's a very clean look.

I also replaced the emblem with a paint to match emblem and it's a really cool and subtle look...thanks to Eric at Bumper Plugs!

. i know his car is similar to mine.

i had a pic similar to socalsteve's but with stock assembly.. so i thought it would make a good comparison shot.

BTW, my vote goes for the original rear lights.

I'll have to look long and hard. I do like the originals but I want to add a little unique piece and thought the all red might look nice. Carlitos, we have the same wheels. Do you use any spacers or know of anyone that has used spacers on the Carrera Sport rims? Also, are you running 295's or 305's on the rear?

I know this is wishful thinking but has anyone seen LED setup using 997.1 tail light? I see tons for 996 but nothing for 997.1 997.2 LED is nice but don't want to modify my bumper.

i don't know which i prefer...but i think it's better to wait for a led tail light for 997.1 without mods...

mods decision making process chart:

1. does it make car run faster? if no, go to step 4
2. does it make car handle better? if no, go to step 4.
3. buy it and install it.
4. forget about it.
