Thats a clean looking creavas there.

I think a little prayer to the patron saint of tail lamps is in order...

"Oh St. Illuminus, we beseech thee to travel with these fine tail lamps in a safe and speedy fashion to Matt, who desperately needs them so he can travel this weekend to show off his SC'd Boxster to other forum members...

...and while you're at it, St. Illuminus, please put a good word in with St. Cloud about the weather because it's supposed to suck on Sunday and we really need warmer, far dryer weather for central Ohio that day. Amen."

I know, it may snow but thats ok I will still be there! You know I took another board member for a ride the other day. I was hoping he would post his comments but I think he must be really busy. Meanwhile to help pass time I put this graphic on my windstop.

AMEN TO THAT BROTHER RANDALL!

*thats pretty creative there, dude! :cool:

Maybe he's still cleaning out his shorts! :eek:

Nah, I did however hold back by keeping it below 120 mph in a school zone during recess.

HAHAHAHAHA!!

I'm thinking, RandallNeighbor, since your in Ministries, you should create a Porsche Prayer. I'll post it in general discussions.

Here they are installed they look much better in person, not as dark looking.

OOOOOOOOOhhhhhhhhhhhiiiiiiiiooooooooooo....Did i just see your satellite radio antenna on your trunk lid??????????? Dude its soo easy to hide those on the Boxster, no need for it to be exposed AT ALLL

Well, tell me where.

I'll work on that. I need to pray and fast for a while to see what kind of prayer would be global, appropriate, and actually worth praying aloud.

In fact, I believe I will probably be praying a lot riding around with Matt this Sunday in the snow and if I have the presence of mind to do it, I'll jot down my prayer, refine it, remove all the explicative-based outbursts I'm sure to have accidentally sprinkled in when Matt shifts gears, and post it.

Matt, I assure you, I will wax on and on about MY ride in your car. Count on it.

Whe you are done, Bro. Randall, i will print it out and stick it to my garage and into my office...hehehehehe!

looks nice man, very nice.

u should take the boxster logo off, and put one saying kompressor

Djomlas,
Thanks, I ordered some emblems that say "Supercharged" they didnt arrive yet and Im still not sure if Im going to use them or not. They will probably look out of place but I keep telling myself they wont. We will see.

where is it gonna go?
boxster emblem is outta place too if u ask me :)
i woulda kept mine off completely, but from the sun u can clearly see where it was, part of my B was missing, so i replaced the black one with aliminum one :)

I also have a black emblem (but my cars black) and I like it. It adds a little bit of subtleness. If you do anything, dont get black, but id look at red, itd be the same effect, and Id reckon itd be pretty BA

I prefer being butt nekked...
 

Why ruin such beautiful lines with some plastic stuck on writing? No emblem needed. :D

Boxtaboy,
Do you have amber bulbs in there? Your right, thats nice with no emblem on back.

Hi OhioBox,

Yeah, I left the stock OEM amber bulbs in the tail lights. I actually tried the silver bulbs that flash amber on the side markers and found that when lit at night, they don't flash as bright as the amber bulbs did, and so put the amber bulbs back. The all clear look is cool in the daylight, but with as many cars as there are here in Manhattan I want to be SEEN on the road clearly at night if you know what I mean. I figure at least I got rid of all my outer amber on the car, which really annoyed me.

Another benefit of taking off the rear emblem imo, is that it makes the car look wider from the rear. Easy to take off emblem btw. Just run some tooth floss under it, and saw it right off. Then rub the residue off with your finger and then wax it. Voila.

Cheers.

I have mine in front of the windshield. You know the plastic housing around that area. I have no idea what the actual name is but i put all my antennas in there and it does not bother the reception at all. I have my GPS and Radio antenna in there.

Sorry for the terrible explination as to where that is, but im sure you understand. Let me know if u want pictures.

i ordered 2 different kind of emblem @ eagle day ( 986 & Boxster ) I'm still deciding on which one to use but after seeing your car, i think i would just return it and keep it butt nekked :cheers:

ohio..here's my $.02. IMHumbleO, I think either keep the Boxster emblem or leave it clean. If you put a "supercharged" emblem on it, kinda look cheesy...just smoke them in the stop light...action speaks louder than words :D and that new tail lights make your car 6 yrs. younger :cheers:

I know it has cheese written all over it but sounded good at the time.

is the supercharged letters in porsche writing or what?

No not Porsche script but in cursive.

ohio - nice tail lights -- where did you get them and how much? these aren't the $399 ones are they??? those are the smokes ones -- not the clear?

let's see some pics with the brakes lights on, just the tail lights on, and with the flashers on.....if you want to share the LED's that is.

thanks!

Thanks mon. IMO, a group of numbers or letters are just not necessary on such a beautiful car. The general public will not know what a 986 is anyway. IMO, best look is the nekked look. :)

They are the smoked ones I bought for $99.00 plus shipping. They look really dark but it was dusk, they are not as dark as they look. I will get some pics up tomorrow its freaking freezing and I wont be able to get a good picture in the dark. This picture was before it was adjusted so dont mind the gap. I was attempting to grab a photo before dark.

Thanks, RandallNeighbor. Your prayer need not be blasphemous nor pompos. Something appropriate, humorousm Porsche-like and humble is all we. . . . .pray for.

I think the congregation is relying on your leadership to get us started. See my post in General Discussions. http://986forum.com/forums/boxster-general-discussions/8209-porsche-prayer.html

May the (force)power be with you.

Boxtaboy, I gotta disagree with you. I like my "rear end" cluttered :D

Love your exhaust, though ! What kind is that ? Looks sharp...

Nick

Cluttered? You call that cluttered??? This, my friend is cluttered.

http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k2..._011/Rear2.jpg

Honestly, I really like the look with no emblem at all.

Thanks. It's a Dansk Pressed Sport Exhaust with the Super Sound Tips.

Thanks, Boxtaboy !

I looked up the exhaust.

$902 at Performance Products, but it won't fit my '99 ( 2000-2004 only :mad: )

Nick

I got it for $750. PM me, and I'll let you know where I got it from. You can make it fit your car if you get an adapter bracket (costs another $150).

Cool. PM sent...

How's the resonance with that exhaust ?

No resonance at all. Zero. Nada. Zip. Mostly because the shape of the muffler is the same single cannister type as the OEM factory muffler. The baffles inside are different to make the sound throatier and louder than stock. The difference from OEM is not as big and loud as say a GHL, Borla, or B&B, but there is no resonance, so wifey is not upset. ;) Here's a sound clip I made:

Thanks man.

The tail lights are looking good.

Those look nice.
 

I always liked the 550 special edition tail lights on a guards red Boxster. Might be too much red (if there is such a thing) for some.
