Today, I spent 3 solid hours giving my Boxster the most extensive detail I have done in a long time. Despite some of the more permanent blemishes she looks gorgeous (as always)!

For anyone interested this was the order I went in: Wash, Clay Bar, Rinse, Scratch Removal, Rinse, Wax, Clean Rims, Wax Rims, Remove Wax, Remove Wheel Wax, Clay Bar Windshield, Rinse, RainX all Glass, Tire Shine

Today, I got my Box off the lift, drove to the gas station for a fill up.. Threw the numbers on and loaded it in the trailer for his first track weekend in two days!

These are custom made by forum member Nine8Six.
See here...
You'll have to contact him for exact pricing as each kit is made to order and has options. But, I will say that his prices are more than fair and equivalent or less than commercial projectors that don't look this nice (not to mention that they look like OEM Porsche).

You may want to contact him and reserve a set.


Another teaser shot...Very high quality work!

I'll be doing a DIY thread when I get around to the install, but here are some teasers.

To match my calipers...





No, these are not backlit...just ambient light

I finally fixed my ignition switch!

A flexible extension driver kit made all the difference there - finished in about 45 mins.

Of course, I had to go on a 45 minute test drive too. :dance:
