I agree, I like the rear wing and front bumper of that kit better. I think the Avalanche is a little too over the top, a little too wild, IMHO. This one looks nice. The only problem is that you're still talking about the same components - front bumper, 997 headlights, front fenders, door covers, rear quarter panels, Cayman tail lights, rear bumper, wheels, etc. I didn't see this one on eBay, but the price has to be near $30,000.

heres the link to the ebay kirk

they list it as 13 large. but that doesnt include the lights and whatnot like the other one. and on their website they said it was like 17 to install paint etc. so you are looking at a 35 grand project all told. very pricey.

I like 'em both.

But I have 2 questions.

1- Where can I get tail lights that are black like on the "Avalanch?"

2- Where can I get the rear spoiler that is on the orange Boster posted by Boxstaboy? (I have seen some that were similar, but they do not have the base lip (or whatever you call it) that remains as the spoiler raises.)

I have searched for both and come up empty....

That's not an off the shelf item, you have to custom make them. That body kit uses Cayman rear tail lights. To make them black you need to either spray them with a tint spray paint or apply a tint film over them. Looks cool, but is unquestionably illegal, might get you a ticket, unsafe, and might get you rear ended and put you at fault due to the dim tail lights.

There are a bunch more pictures here:

That's an OEM/stock spoiler for the special edition Boxster. It wouldn't work on a 986. I'm not sure what you'd have to do to get one installed on a 987. You'd probably have to change out the whole rear bumper. With OEM Porsche parts that would be terribly spendy just for a spoiler.

This is the link that i saw 10 month ago.
I kept asking him to give more details but he does not update the upcoming videos (well he updated it about 1 week ago however it doesn't give enough detail.)
I really wanted that kit but I am selling my 986 S so.. probably, i'll do it later.



This is my 986 that i'm selling so sadly

Sand yours down with some really fine 1000 grit. Basically so they arent shiny anymore, kind of dull looking. Mix up some nice quality clear coat. Add a couple drops (10% or so) black paint to clear coat paint, and spray on. If its not dark enough then spray another layer. Done. Did all my lights this way. Headlights and side markers aren't as dark as the rears for obvious reasons
