let's talk about headlights

if u stare a naked 997 (no aerokit front or any type of aero enhancement) long enough do u think the headlights are a little oversized? i for one think the headlight could be a little smaller to neutralize that innocent frog look.

That's why the TechArt headlight cover exits.

When you park a 993 beside a 997, the 997 headlight were much bigger but when u step back and notice not only the headlight, the whole body was much bigger. The "frog" just grow bigger in last 10 years. both 993 and 997 were smiling frog, 996 was a crying frog ....

totally agree with you, BTW very nice color what is it???

In any case i ve come to the conlcusion that, with the AEROKIT on the situation changes and the front end becomes more harmonic :!

I don't think the eye covers will help at all. Then you're comparing "curious-open-eyed-frog" to "about-to-sleep-frog."

That's a stock-to-stock non-aero comparison. When you pit the white aero 997 (kindly shown above in the top right corner of this forum) with that of the blue tt, it becomes a battle between "WOW-amazed-eyed-frog" vs "BIG-Smiley-I'm-Hello-Kitty's-best-friend-frog."

Resistance is futile, you should have gotten a 996! ! !

Here's an idea then.
Retrofit the 996 tt headlamps from any of your past 996s onto your 997 hehe.
