I feel that the nicest design element of the front of the  991.1 was the extension of the DRLs beyond the air intake below it , visually widening the car , but many took an opposing view ...Porsche must have listened so ..that is now  gone in the 991.2 , as they have laterally  " extended " the air intake below to be the same width of the lights by adding an ugly " close out panel " of a vertical chunk of dull 1970s - looking ABS matte plastic 

 

 

Yeah, it is kind of annoying, isn't it?
I am in the camp of people who hated the Gepetto Mustache from day one, especially since it was clearly a deliberate breaking of the design lines, just to be able to "fix" it in a later stage with the facelift.
However, rather than to solve it in the "predictable" way (just shifting the lights inboard), which yields a pretty awesome front, they just HAD to do something differently, thus creating a new design flaw with the ungodly black plasticSmiley

Well, in the end, what always sticks that these details stick out like a sore thumb when you look at the pictures, but in reality the cars just look great.

They trimmed the barber shop quintet mustaches but added urban- cool  black " chin strap " beards
