Wow, that's great! Those will look good.

Coincidently I just received my annual bonus (I knew it was coming) today and bought the factory Litronic headlight kit to celebrate. I also bought a 996 gauge cluster to swap in as well.

:dance:

Thanks thumper! me too, i knew it was coming but wasn't expecting so soon :) bought wifey a set of Gucci bag instead of GT3 kit like the one from TriGem2k...probably next year :D

Ah, I love bonus season! Mine comes in next Wednesday, although unfortunately, it has already been budgeted for more practical purposes related to our 1 year old home: some new furniture, and some landscaping (it's obscene how expensive professional landscaping is!!!).

Maybe I can sneak in some some clear tailights without the wife noticing...

very nice man, very nice. what kinda tires you gonna go with?

where do you work btw, if you dont mind sharing?

It comes with Hankook tires. Here's the description of the wheels:
18" Carrera Lightweight wheels. Sized (2)18x8et 50mm and (2)18x10et 47mm. These wheels are made with exact specifications and are of excellent quality. These wheels are almost as light as the originals and are stronger. They are TUV approved. Silver and black caps are included.

Wheels come mounted and balanced with Hankook K104 tires in 225/40/ZR18 and 265/35/ZR18 ready to install.

I was going to get the wheels only from other seller but it might take me awhile before i could get tires for it and I want to install it right away :D

Yah, I work for CSAA/ IT Operation Supervisor :)

And all I got was new high heels.

Sigh.............:ah:

Hey Unk...

Why the color crested wheel caps? I'd personally stick with the black & whites it comes with. Anyway if you do get the color crested ones PM me and let me know what you want for the black & whites.

BTW Sweet Wheels. I love those.

@ unkle,

I have the same wheels on my car. You could check them out at the meet tomorrow if you want.

great wheels....I like the colored caps and am picking up some 19's sooner than later....

hey Blink, all that effort with the Zaino and you didn't get an updated pic for your signature? It looked like the car was really shining

@ TriG..the color crested ones will match the color of my car but if I do received it and decide to change it, I'll PM you or if you have colored one prolly we could just swap it :)

@ Blink..fasho, I will definitely check it out plus, i might need you to pull that freaking snorkle of my Box for me, dude..hehehehehe!

Yeah I will,I've been really busy lately w/ midterms and all. I will defiantly take pics tomorrow at the meet in the Bay Area.

Yeah I could help out w/ pulling it out. I hope you don't have virgin ears though,the thing is a PITA to pull out.

The center caps that come with the wheels suck! They are stickers..............Thankfully I had my colored ones from my 18" Technology set.

dude, i have to bit my tounge the other night while pulling it out coz' my 2 son is right next to me :D gotta look cool in front of my kids eventhough they have no idea that the snorkle is kicking my arse....

i kinda figure that it was going to be a sticker, chances are i might end up getting a color crested one...

Oh how exciting you get stickers....lol. I think your better off ordering the OEM colored ones Unk.

I know ,G! i was about to tell you that if you still want a sticker..hehehehehehe!

Id save up a few more clams and go for the no turn ones. They are like 300 bucks but they look sweet.

Which one is that?

Those are 600 :eek: , they were 300, just prices went up.

Got my bonus earlier this month. And, the Boxster is now paid off :)

It's good to be without a car payment :cheers:

So I guess I can start putting money into upgrades now, keep eyeing the 19" wheels as well.

the hell!!! that's one heck of a bonus.....you guys hiring :D

drb..are you sure it's a bonus? there's no fine print attached to it..hehehehe! j/k :D

congrats on your bonus..now go to e-bay and start browsing 19" wheels :cheers:

National Bonus Week?
 

I found out today what Monday's bonus will be. Wasted no time in ordering some Carrera S chrome 18's when I got home from work. Probably going with some BFG KDWs. Baby needs a new pair of shoes. :D

Anyone know a good deal is on chrome caps with a painted crest? The chrome ones at Wheel Dynamics have a black crest. Got a request in to Sunset on a price quote. Think a painted crest would look killer. Feel free to PM me so I don't hijack this thread.

Isn't capitalism great?

you what's going to be funny is...if our other half, spouse, g/f or how ever you want to call it accidentaly stumble on this forum and found this thread and start reading all about the bonuses that you guys hide from them..hahahahahahaha! :dance:

UnkleKraker, you can get some very nice colored factory center caps from Sunset for about $135 a set. There are two types... mine have no ring around them, and no holes and are made out of metal, not plastic. They are painted to match the rims too.

No pull holes = much harder to steal.

I bought a set of center caps the day I bought my carrera lights from the same place you bought them. The other posters are right... the ones that come with the rims suck! But they aren't stickers. They're screen printed and scratch off quite easily.

As far as tires go, he was selling them with Hancock or whatever tire and I just called after the auction closed and said "how much to upgrade to PS2's?

$2300 shipped to me with PS2's.

Thanks Randall for the tip. I didnt know that there are 2 types of center caps. So when I order it thru Sunset, should I mention about "no pull holes"?

I was going to upgrade for a better tire but gotta save some for wifeys set Gucci bag (she's been wanting to get those for years now) and to replace her beat up Gucci key chain...I just want to make sure that she's happy before I pull the trigger for next years GT3 kit :)

I have the same wheels you have (your old ones) and like the ones you're getting! Those are the ones I want! Sadly, I doubt my bonus in a couple weeks will be much, if anything at all.

Unkle, I will dig up the part number (I still think I have the box in my tool chest) and photograph the center cap for you and post it here.

I think my caps are the best looking ones out there. Big logo, full color, painted metal cap, no holes, etc.

The only problem is that without pull holes, you have to remove the rim to get them off without damaging the rim prying them out.

Cool, Randall! greatly appreciated....
Oh, also, if you can, send the link to the sunset store :) Thanks...

Can't sleep last night, it's like waiting for Santa Claus but this time he's on a big truck with a big FedEx sign :dance:

Got my bonus on the 5th. Unfortunately, my mechanic told me that the "transmission flex plate" was cracked on the Benz and would cost around $2000 to replace ( have to drop the transmission to fix ).

So looks like the muffler, intake, and chip for the Box will have to wait :(

Plus, I only took home 62% of my bonus after taxes :mad:

Nick

BONUS? You all get a Bonus? Last I checked I had to Pay the EMPLOYER just to be the EMPLOYEE! :ah:

nick..the flex plate of the benz? how :eek: ? hopefully it won't happen to my benz or else I have to return the Gucci stuff i bought for my wife :D and of course not the wheels..hehehehehehe!

James, i told wifey on my next bonus, my boxster will grow up just like yours. she overheard me and robert (blinkwatt) talking about vegas, your side skirt and front lip and on the way home she asked what Vegas, Skirt and Lip are you talking about? :D :D :D

That’s awesome, Vegas was nuts that weekend! Now which part did he mention? The part of the topless/boob flashing by the pool? Or the random girl who came up to me asking if she can wash her guarder belt on my stomach? OR the hostess who wouldn't seat us at Wolf Gang Puck until I put a shirt on (Robert BOOed her on that one ahahahahaha).

Oh man it was good stuff. It would be great to have a 986Forum Meet in VEGAS! You hear that everyone 986Forum Meet in Vegas. Young Guns, Old Cats all Welcome.

Sorry for the thread Hi Jacking....

Have a nice day!

nope, he didn't mention anything specific...but now that you have mention it, I will come up with an excuse that theres a mandatory "boring" boxster event in Vegas that i have to attend with you guys. :D :D :D
