I have seen pics of the clear version on white cars on google images and they look really sharp. I did not see any smoked versions though.

Now I only see one for over $400. Were there any issues with them or are they that popular now that they are sold out? Thank goodnees I purchased mine last year with no issues so far, but a friend of mine was thinking about them and when I looked they were no where to be found for the price that I paid which was less that $180 at the time.

I had the clear on red and they looked awesome on White!! I sold my Boxster car 2 summers ago and just got a black Boxster.... Here are some pics in this thread

sorry duplicate post

Great pictures!!! White Boxsters look great....although I also love the look of Black ones as well (that is what I have). The smoked tailights really stand out on them!!!:cheers:

I don't have a white boxster, but here's a pic of my smoked tail lights. It definitely makes a difference from the OEM tail lights.

Just ordered a set of the red/tinted for my Blue 986 :)

cameronzero 04-16-2013 03:25 PM

really hope DDM is down to fulfill all these orders so quickly. they're gonna hate me when i go up on friday, lmao.

I would imagine that their system tracks the going out numbers vs inventory... I sure hope so :) you should get a free set for helping sell all their stock :D

58ceramicgreen 04-16-2013 03:45 PM

Here's hoping they have enough "inventory" left they were trying to blow out to satisfy these orders!
You may be offered a sales job while you're there!

Just got my confirmation that they are on their way.:dance:

Perfect timing. Thanks for the link.

Murphy's law.

I put off this upgrade for well over a year because I kept finding other things to mod. I finally broke down and spent the darn $160 a month ago.
Now this!!!!! $40 bucks I couldve' saved!!!! damn you mod Gods.
$10K in mods and you couldn't even throw me a $40 bone! :mad:

:p

P.S.

LED tailights are great for the parking light function. I could see my car almost two blocks away. Whenever I'm in a dimly lit parking lot I leave the parking lights on to ward off any lookey loos (they'll think you're still in the car) or absent minded drivers that might back into me when pulling out of their spot. I've got a few nicks and bruises on the back bumper from not using this tactic sooner.

Just got the call..all out of smoked tails and won't be replacing stock anytime soon. Had to change to clear tails. I placed my order Monday around 3pm for anyone who was curious. I guess the smoke tails are back to the endangered species list
