In preparation for a bumperette delete and taking advantage of a Pelican Parts, I ordered "clear corner" lights for the 993. Excited to see how they would look, I popped them...and was pretty bummed.
A couple months ago, I painted the inside of the fog lights silver to take care of yellowing plastic (post here). The fogs look great on their own, but when I installed the clear corners, they don't match color wise. The fit between the corners and the fogs is not as tight as I would like either.
At this point, I have a couple of options:

- Get over it
- Repaint the fog light plastic trying to match the clear corners
- Replace the fogs with one of the brake duct fog light replacements
- Swap clear corners for amber corners
Not sure which way I will go yet.
How'd your fog lights / brake duct /bumperette delete turn out?
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, it still looks just like the photo. It will probably be a year or two before I do anything about the front end. Installing a golden rod & SSK, refinishing the wheels, and re-doing the suspension are higher on the list right now.
ReplyDeleteThose sound like some fun projects. What did you decide to swap out the Bilstein HDs for? I'm picking up a 993tt this week, so I'm looking forward to reading about all your progress.
ReplyDeleteThe car rides too low and thus has too much bumpsteer. I will probably first try raising the bilstein hd's to the top of their adjustment range (which isn't much in the front). If that doesn't work, I may swap out the H&R springs for something taller - probably RoW M030. Or I may put in the RS uprights and tie rods :-).
DeleteCongrats on the 993tt -- share some photos when it arrives!
