Inbox me as well, they look so good!

I would love to see them on a "regular" style 964, instead of the older singer style front.

LED? I would be interested. I am sick of the warning lights from my dzug HIDs.

I would be interested in this if there was a link....hint, hint.

StuartQ - Those are very interesting...I would also love a drop in the inbox on info regarding who makes and supplies those lights. I see that it has Hella Etched into the lens, do you know the specs of the headlights and are they truly LED (I know the Singer Porsche lights are developed off of a Hella lamp)?

Just came across this... Slight mods to the fenders to fit 2005 Mini Cooper headlights.

That's an interesting look. It's sort of 997 and on its own looks right in my eye's but it would be nice to see it next to a std car before you could really see how different it looks.

I fully agree, actually the overall car with the rims does not fall in my taste.

I can see how some would like it, but I wanted a 964 for its classic 911 face...

Definitely different and obviously subject to personal taste. It is not for the faint of heart since it is not easily reversible, from the minimal info you have to cut the bucket slightly so you can decide how much "lean" you want to give. Here is another one done with 5 degrees less lean than the black one.



There always the option to fit 993 headlights in upright fenders



In all seriousness Stuart, keep us posted on the headlights you found @ Essen. They look really cool and we may have to have a group buy.
