Porsche 911 Carrera 997 Headlight Lens Replacement Service (Adaptive)

Is your headlight lens breaking down? Do you see micro fractures and crazing within the lenses? This type of break down is even more visible with the headlights on. Many restoration options such as wetsanding + polishing or clear coat provide a temporary solution. Results are never quite as good because not all types of imperfections can be removed.  Replacement lens service is the only way to provide you with a long term solution that makes the lights look brand new again. As a bonus, this equates to a boost in headlight performance as well due to the increased clarity.
