    All red tailights

    Re: New mods: red tailights, painted "turbo", tips

    Yup, cobalt is definetely a color that needs the red tail lights, looking great man!

    Re: New mods: red tailights, painted "turbo", tips

    definite improvement, nice work.

    While we're on the subject; take a look at this Pshop, FWIW.

    Re: New mods: red tailights, painted "turbo", tips

    My eyes are always drawn to your wheels.

    Re: New mods: red tailights, painted "turbo", tips

    Cobalt blue is far from my favorite colour but with those mods you've made the car look absolutely superb. Fantastic job!!

    Re: New mods: red tailights, painted "turbo", tips

    I must say that I am against any mods on 997 turbo...

    BUT, yours and Rami's mods are very tastefull indeed!

    Re: New mods: red tailights, painted "turbo", tips

    it looks great. I will take that option on my next car

    Re: New mods: red tailights, painted "turbo", tips

    I think painting the exhaust tips black is a good idea; no matter which design or shape they are.

    In case you guys were wondering about these.

    Re: New mods: red tailights, painted "turbo", tips

    I'm not able to took a decision for the red tail lights..

    in some pics i like them,in some others i don't like them..

    Re: New mods: red tailights, painted "turbo", tips

    like the cargraphic exhaust tips...

    Re: New mods: red tailights, painted "turbo", tips

    Love the rear lights. I have a pair sitting at the dealers waiting to be picked up. Looking forward to fitting them.

    Did you go off the black rear badge? I was thinking of heading in that direction.

    Re: New mods: red tailights, painted "turbo", tips

    I guess that for some its a love/hate relationship. I'm one of those that's on the fence but I admit that it's slowly growing on me.

    As for the badge, yeah, I didn't like the way the black badge disappears on Cobalt blue so I went with the aluminum painted version instead. The stock chrome one is a bit too "blingy" for me.

    Re: New mods: red tailights, painted "turbo", tips

    Too "blingy" on a Cobalt Blue car? I think the stock chrome looks classy. Just my .02

    Re: New mods: red tailights, painted "turbo", tips

    Big YES to ceramic coated tail pipes and red tail lights!

    Re: New mods: red tailights, painted "turbo", tips

    Here's a better picture showing the new tailights and the ceramic tailpipes.


    Re: New mods: red tailights, painted "turbo", tips

    Can't get over how nice those rims look on a Cobalt blue car. The rear tail lights are nice either way and the black turbo logo vs silver is a toss up too with me leaning toward the black look. I am a big fan of color to match logo's also.

    I agree with you. On rami's pics, I loved the red tail lights but on jason's cobalt, I just don't know anymore. Maybe it's the color, maybe it's the picture's angle. Dont know. I'm confused.

    Re: New mods: red tailights, painted "turbo", tips

    Red lights would look better on a dark car, the alum. turbo badge looks better than black, but I prefer chrome(stock), which I wouldn't call 'blingy' either.
    Now, those black tailpipes are right out of 'fast & furious', not my taste, jm .02

    Re: New mods: red tailights, painted "turbo", tips

    The only reason why I even went with black tips in the first place is because the tips started turning brown from the intense heat. Looks bad, imho.

    You can see it happening on the left side. The right was "new" so it hadn't happened yet.

    I'm facing the same problem with my Lambo. I've had the cats removed and installed the Larini bypass pipes. Result: tips are turning brown just like yours. I'm also thinking about making them black.

    Well, IMHO, it makes the car look taller. What you want is to make the car larger and thiner, not thicker. So, I've change my mind, it's a no go, especially with bright colors.

    Re: New mods: red tailights, painted "turbo", tips

    Good move, something about them looks fake and added on, like a honda civic almost, on a light car.

    Just get a can of high heat black spray paint, same effect. At least that's what we did in high school.

    Re: New mods: red tailights, painted "turbo", tips

    That wouldn't work. The turbos put out heat in the 1100 degree range. It'd burn those paint right off!

    If you look at the Cayenne, they all have the same red tailights as do the older 930/964/993 models.
