    Painted nipples ?

    I think the 997 looks even more better without that cleaning nipples!

    Do you perfer headlamp cleaning system cover painted or leave it silver?

    Re: Painted nipples ?

    hmmmm...I never really thought about it. I suppose it would look nice, a very streamlined look. A subtle detail that will maintain continuity in the color of the car. Now you've got me thinking about painting them!

    I wonder, if you paint them, if they'll still stand out when it is cold outside...

    They're not nipples there're _nozzles_.

    Definitely the 'silver' ones that come as standard IMO...I have never understood the attraction of painted headlamp cleaning nozzles...

    Lol..I can't be the only one here old enough to remember the Wendy O. Williams/ Plasmatics pastie controversy?!! from the glory days of punk rock.

    Painted nips probably the LAST on my list of cosmetic enhancements...there is so much intricate brightwork within the headlight cluster, the chrome washer nozzles don't bother me.

    Wouldn't painted nipples show through a clear bra?

    Never thought of that. But I guess you could paint them clear.

    Painted nipples exclusive option "CGA" - an absolutely essential option!

    Are they more pronounced during the winter months?

    i've had the nozzles painted in car color (slate grey) and love it. if you have a light colored car, then it doesnt make sense, if the car is darker color, it looks better with the nozzles painted. imho.

    After looking at tons of nipple pics , I realized you are right! Painted nipples only works on dark color, light color with that look stupid.
