I highly recommend that you order the clear taillights as well. It makes ANY Boxster look a few years newer. Look at Trigem2k's car,silver completely deambered,looks amazing.

Tomorrow with credit card in hand I'm ordering from Suncoast. $159.99 rear and $29.99 side. They want $995 or so for headlights...but I'll see how this goes. Now since my favorite chair is the one in the garage right in front of the car where I sit with a St. Pauli's Girl, I may have to start backing in so I can stare at the back clear lights and not let the front bother me.

The clear headlights can be had off eBay for around $500-650.

BlinkW, Thanks I'll check ebay for fronts. I talked to Rick at Sunset and the clear sides and rears are on their way UPS. Under $200 for all...can't wait!

you can order the clear triangle corners for the healdights for about $45.
with clear side markers its a nice change.
The ebay plastic chrome grill strips are nice too $25. or you can buy a package of chrome door edge protectors at Pep Boys and cut down to fit the grill.
Just squeez it over the grill just like you would over the door edge.

You can buy the $45 from Suncoast...I did now I regret it. After I ordered them and they arrived everything seemed fine. After being installed for 2 weeks or so it started to rain in Sacramento and I noticed ALOT of condensation build up on my passenger side clear triangle. Suncoast said they would replace it but here is the catch,they want me to send it in. WHAT DO I USE IN ITS SPOT WHEN MINE IS BEING SENT TO THEM? I sold my amber triangles assuming the product would be defect free. I have to figure something out.
