Thanks flash and silvy--yes, I did put an e-mail in to the site and told them I'm on board--have not received a confirmation--you should cross post to the rennlist 968 and 944/924/951/968 board and see if we can get some support over there too.

I got an email reply today.

Lots of thanks, but no price and no delivery date.

I emailed back and asked.

If I get an answer I'll post.

any update on the white lenses from the swedes? I'm tempted to just take off my bumperettes and buy the long orange euro ones for now and resell them when [or if] these guys ever make the clear option...

Exactly what I have done.

OK I'll bite. Did you US gents do a mod to get rid of the 'bumperettes' or did you go all the way to EU for that car???







[quote name='flash' post='10188' date='Sep 23 2005, 11:31 AM']remove the screw that is in the turn signal lense

remove the rectangular shaped center of the bumperette by prying it out

remove the 2 nuts in the center

remove the bumperette

now you can remove the turn signal lens by pulling forward[/quote]





Nevermind - I missed this part of the thread. Sorry for clogging up the server...

FWIW #2, Sunset has had the orange euro lenses in stock the last 2 times I've ordered them.

Yeah,I did the clear(euro) conversion.Really like the look.Was a little skeptical of the fit at first(I think the lens came off 993?) but after it's all done they fit fine.As simple a job as it may appear(I think I had to go to autoparts store 3 different times to get the right thin walled socket that would fit the bolts holding the bumperettes on.)They came with amber bulbs but I used clear and they work and look great.Good luck.

the 993 lenses leave a gap that bugs a lot of people - there is actually an amber lens for the 968



craftsman makes a thin wall deep socket in 1/4 drive that works great

Been racking my brains trying to find a source for those pesky front lenses (RoW) but it all seems to come down to Sunset and the amber colour only. There are some nice smoke lenses for the 993 but I hear too many comments about fitment. Has anyone got a good pic of the actual gap that the 993 lens leaves on a 968? Unfortunately if it is noticeable I will fixate on that everytime I walk in front of my car or wash it and eventually hurt myself in some way as penance - maybe drink blended instead of single malt [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif[/img]

it is noticeable. if no one else posts a pic, i will do so later tonight. I doubt you will be pleased with the fitment. I think the amber looks classy anyway.

The 964 Turbo S flachbau front lenses may fit and those were avauilable in both amber & clear(white).

I may just go with the Euro amber but I saw a picture of the smoke lenses and thought they looked quite nice. A friend just got smoke lenses for the rear of her boxter (yea, just a boxter) but it really made it look a lot better. Now I can tell if she is coming or going [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif[/img]

You can see the poor fitment of 993 lenses/blinkers in these pics. From far away they look good because you cant see all the gaps, but from up close....not so much.

Tks for the pics but all I see are the beautiful wheels, gap, what gap [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif[/img]
They don't look so bad but Jeff at Sunset just sent me a price of 56.00 each so that is much less than the 993 lights anyway. I'll go with the Euro amber I guess so I can sleep at night.
Now about those wheels.....

$56 each for the whole amber European assembly? That seems like a good buy...

I lied, it was $53.92 each - even better! The only catch now is they don't do USPS to Canada yet and I will never use UPS again as they rape Canadians - not in the good way either [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif[/img] . They charge a flat 50.00 brokerage fee on any item coming up here PLUS they tack on shipping again from the border to your destination. Ack!
