I replaced my headlights wit a pair I bought yesterday, nice drive form Sacramento to the Bay Area. Big difference in the appearance of the front. Now I need to figure out what to do with the old lights

I would like to see some pics of your calipers. I will be doing mine black next week & I would like to get an idea of what they will look like.

You could make an HID conversion by doing a retrofit, which would remove the burned inner lense, or you could sell them for someone that wanted to make a retrofit but they don't want to risk messing up their main headlights. I bought a pair off eBay with burned inner lenses and I am going to retrofit them with HID once I finish my move to FL, which will be in a couple weeks. My Boxster is already down there... I miss it but my girlfriend has been driving it and she likes it

Today, I got to see the progress on my 1998 Boxster Refurbishment. Can't wait to get her back home!

Considering whether to put the Porsche Badge back on the new hood or not. What do you all think?
