I went for a 996.2 for the Turbo style headlights... but those fried eggs kinda look good on the GT3!
Pros: look good on GT3

I like how the amber part gives the impression of the cut line for the hood flowing around to the fender.
Pros: flowing cut line
Vehicle:
Porsche Cayman
On non hybrid Porsche\u2019s that have Auto Start Stop, the ECU can actually fire a spark plug with a little injection of gas into a cylinder that\u2019s stopped in a good place to help get the engine turning quicker than just the starter alone.
Pros: engine turning quicker
Enter the 17z Porsche upgrade. I believe this is the cheapest route you can go for a good BBK of this size aside from the even bigger 18z Brembo's also availible. This is a very easy direct swap with two modification parts You'll need the calipers and pads from an 04-10 Porsche Cayenne The 334mm rotors and front SS lines for the mk4 r32 The adapter plate from Ecstuning made by creationsmotorsports It's just 10 bolts for the install, that's it. Jack up the car talk off the wheel Disconnect the brake wear sensor Without taking the brakes apart, clamp the brake hose, disconnect from the caliper, remove the two caliper carrier bolts and yank the caliper, pads an all off, put to the side an do man shout. Unscrew the rotor screw an beat it with a hammer like it owes u money, unless you plan on keeping it. Cut the brake sensor from the brake pad and connect the two together Install new rotor The slots don't matter which way but the vanes do. Make sure they flow like shark fins to the front of the car Now if you didn't notice when you go to install the adapters your caliper carrier bolts are now too long and when you go to tighten the adapters you might not notice but you will screw into your new rotors either pushing the rotor off snapping the rotor screw or stripping the spindle tread whichever comes 1st. Get new bolts and grind or cut then about in half USE THREAD LOCK!!! Install adapters and calipers Unless you have an r32, the brake lines will not match back up, so until you come up with a solution zip ties will be your friend You can easily bend but I didn't have enough time on my lunch break. Connect an bleed the system an that's it's your done. So the verdict. If you don't bleed the system enough, the 1st pedal push will feel like your stepping in poo. You have to bleed A LOT to get your pedal back bleeding through the abs using VAG Do you have to change your M/C no. If you do not change your M/C you will be ok. If you want to go that extra extra route for increased pedal feel the Audi 200 M/C is supposed to be used. I will be doing that as well because i'm extra with stuff. I already purchased it just have yet to install it The vw M/C is black and aside the 2 extra ports and the slant looks like it's a go. That's for when the weather gets better. I hope this was helpful.
Pros: easy direct swap, good BBK
Cons: requires modification parts, bleeding issues
Now, I do like the pop up headlights. I've always liked the undeniable 80's look about them and still get a warm fuzzy feeling inside every time I turn my headlights on and see them rise up.
Pros: undeniable 80's look
Vehicle:
Porsche
I have 17z 6-pod front calipers paired with Cayenne 4-pod rear calipers and I have a slight soft pedal. However, once the calipers grip onto the rotor, car stops much faster than OEM.
Pros: car stops much faster
Cons: slight soft pedal
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Porsche has some pretty impressive headlights. The Cayenne I bought used had the technology package or something that included the HID headlights, so I don't know if that statement stands for their regular headlights. But, having had a couple of vars with HIDs now, the Porsche is mind boggling. Not only does it illuminate for a long distance, but the angle of illumination is astounding. With the brights on, I can see 50 feet off of the road on either side clearly illuminated to watch for wild life.
Pros: illuminates long distance, astounding angle
Vehicle:
Porsche Cayenne
I don’t know why, but I like them on the 996 but don’t on the 986
Pros: liked on 996
Cons: disliked on 986
Vehicle:
Porsche Cayman
With the GTS, we had problems with the air suspension (which was very expensive)
Cons: air suspension problems, expensive repair
Vehicle:
Porsche Panamera
The air suspension in the Turbo will need replacing every 50k miles or so (sometimes sooner… mine has been replaced twice).
Cons: frequent replacement needed, poor reliability
Vehicle:
Porsche Panamera
Mileage: 50000 km
