I’ve seen some yellowing with acrylic after some years. It’s a bit of a gamble. Still, a good polish can help restore some clarity!

What about pricing? I’ve found some brands of polycarbonate covers going for around $120, while acrylic can be twice that. Are the differences really worth it?
That’s a valid concern. Sometimes you really do get what you pay for, though. Higher-end brands often have better fitment and longevity.
I’m personally leaning towards a mid-range polycarbonate. Has anyone tried brands like DEPO or OEM? I’m curious about their performance!

I’ve tried DEPO before on my friend’s car. They fit well but are a bit heavier than I expected! Performance-wise, they been good.
It’s interesting to hear about the weight factor. Lightweight covers could improve headlight performance. Anyone else feel that weight plays a role?
Honestly, I don’t think weight has a huge impact on headlight performance. But it’s always fun to think about these things!

I believe aesthetics matter too. A nice set of clear lights can change the whole look of a car. Anyone here upgraded purely for style?
Definitely! Aesthetic upgrades can really make your Porsche stand out at shows. Plus, who doesn’t love a clean, clear look?
One brand I didn’t see mentioned much is Ziza. Has anyone tested their covers for durability? I’m curious if they hold up in varying weather conditions.

I’ve heard mixed things about Ziza. Some swear by them, while others have had issues with fading after a few months. Always tough to decide!
Just like relationships, eh? Some are worth it, and some leave you disappointed! Ha!
Haha, true! Just remember that every cover is a commitment! But seriously, don’t forget to compare warranties too—there might be hidden gems out there.

I’m glad you brought this up! Different states have varying regulations for headlight modifications, especially with sports cars like the Porsche 996. It’s essential to check local laws to avoid fines.

That’s true! In some places, headlight covers can even lead to failing inspections. Always check your local DMV’s website for specifics.
I recently looked into this for my 996, and I’ve found that using aftermarket covers can be a gray area. They might look cool, but you don’t want to get pulled over!
I totally agree! It’s fun to personalize your car, but safety and compliance should come first.

What do you all think about the impact on insurance with these modifications? I’ve heard they can sometimes be classified as risky!
Great point, Patricia! Modifications can scare off insurers, and if there’s a claim, they might not cover you. Be cautious!
Absolutely! It’s crucial to inform your insurance company about any changes. What have others experienced?
