I don't think I'm gonna go that route. No doubt the clear would look nice. I just don't think the cost justifies it, especially on my "winter beater".

well if you mean the headlights I agree, too pricey.

But I got my side markers and tail lights second hand on Ebay. Well worth it.
My neighbohr has an 01 and it was the first thing he complimented.

If I were going to do that, I think I'd go with the smoke side markers and the smoke/led rears. There's a guy selling a pair of the clear headlamps with current bids of under $200 each. Bet they don't stay that low. Not sure the wife would be cool with me spending all that on the car right now. She keeps reminding me, "This isn't your good car."

Mentioned it to my wife. Not gonna happen.

I'm just about done with the rear speaker install. All I have to do it tie up the extra cable. I entered the stereo code and threw in Amorphis "Silent Waters." WOW! It is a HUGE improvement! I am SO glad I did this, even with the stock Porsche speakers. It sounds sooooo much better. I'm very happy.

What is your other car, Mike?

An '02 Pontiac Firehawk.

I bought this car specifically for driving to work year round and for track days. I would love to track the Firehawk, but if I wreck it, it's not replaceable. The Boxster is.
