Euro Taillights
I have a 01 986 and am looking for a OEM set of the euro taillights to get rid of the amber. Does anyone have a set they are willing to sell? PM me if you do. Thank you

These aren't "Euro" taillights, you just need the clear ones from 03-04.

I got these inexpensive smoked 'Depot' brand...they actually look nice (well I think). There are other clear and smoked ones that don't look so nice, I looked very closely at the pictures and made sure I was getting the set I had seen on other cars. They don't have a place for the side reflector light but it's not a big deal to me.

I agree, they look great. I think a smoked, 3rd brake light would match the tail lights nicely and create a nice contrast with the Guards Red.

Euro Tail lights
I scored a set of OEM Euro tail lights from a dismantler on the East coast from Ebay and paid $150 plus $20 shipping. And they were near perfect too. Tried the DEPO brand but when we installed the left side it did not fit correctly. Fortunately the Ebay seller sent return shipping label and gave me a full credit. I much prefer the OEM tail lights even if they're not LED.. higher quality all the way around

Suncoast has really jumped their prices up. I got mine for 185 back in the day a couple years back...

Took pics with cell phone (don't have the good camera) with parking lights and brake lights...both came out awful, not worth posting. I will say though...the brake lights are really really bright!

Like the lights fine but I REALLY like the lettering on the trunklid. Where did you find those letters and are they held on with an adhesive backing? Great job in getting them on, they look factory.
Nice clean ride
Cheers

I agree I like the way PORSCHE is spelled out. I just spent hours debadgeing mine and buffing the get the paint and scratches out. Had a hell of a time taking boxster off. I have seen the letters on eBay but would seem hard to line up perfectly.
