My vision completed. Mod bug bit HARD.

[attasvg]

I completed these mods over a year ago, so about time I post some pictures and see how you guys react to what I've done with my 99 Boxster.

External mods include:
- 996TT front end conversion w/bi-xenons
- 03+ rear end w/PDC retrofit (Bosch kit)
- De-amered side and back lights
- Aerokit 2 side members
- 03+ four bow roof with glass window, roof lining and SmartTOP one touch operation
- 15mm front and 21mm rear H&R spacers
- Cargraphic muffler (+de-snorkled and removed intake muffler/resonator box)
- Complete re-spray with two layers (multiple coats each) of clear
- Dull plastic, like cowl, mirror housings, etc, was replaced




Internal mods include:
- New 3-spoke wheel
- Kenwood double din navi (82xx..something)
- Carbon fiber shifter, handbrake, door sills and other details
- Custom red carbon fiber instrument surroundings
- White instrument dials
- Silver trim details
- Plastic details updated to soft touch equivalents
- Porsche High Performance Audio (new front and door speakers + amp)
- Bose rear deck sub w/Infinity Kappa drivers
- Lloyd mats
- New style interior roof light w/ambient leds
- 987 shifter mechanism for a smoother and shorter throw
- Red center console w/Ipod dock in lid
- Double seam leather lid for center console
- Red safety belts
++




I was looking to what I could to improve upon/update the car while staying with an oem looks. Even tossed out a few mods that I did not love. First set of mats had a red border that I did not like (it was vinyl), two sets of alu rings for the instrument cluster did not get installed, only the foot rest of the alu pedals made it into the car, a zeinwing was installed and removed the same day, and a Fiberwerks Daytona 2 wing did not even get painted. Still not sure about the red fiber glass instrument surrounding, but it kind of grew on me.

I really love the result and the experience working on the car. - And it looks even better in person than on photographs.

wow that is by far one of the best sorted boxsters I have ever seen congrats.

[ekam]

Wow I'm speechless! Well done!!!

[AndyA6]

That looks very nice, tastefully done!!!! Thanks for not putting a rear wing on...

[chaudanova]

Beautiful ride! great setup ya got there

I really like the 996TT front end! I've got the same headlights on my C4S and I think they're the nicest headlights that Porsche has made for the 911. That's quite an expensive mod, but if I was going to do another mod to my Boxster I think that's what I would do - a conversion to the 996TT headlights.

Thank's for all the nice comments.

Your vehicle looks great. The "icing on the cake" would be to add a set of black wheels. A clean one piece design would look nice ! Check out this members boxster.

[Bellster]

Absolutely magnificent, love your work one of the best jobs I've seen done on the front end,, looks great should be very proud...

[CVstarBoxster]

Sexy! can you tell me where and how much you paid for the 996TT front bumper? Is it fiberglass? How is the fit? I'm looking for a bumper for mine and I really like this one.

[heliguy]

So the question is...how much have you got into that beautiful machine?

Hi,

the entire front end is converted using only new OEM parts for the 996TT. It's a pretty long list of parts, including new fenders, wheel liners, headlights, bumper, bumper cover, etc. I'm not the one to pioneer this, so a search will reveal others who have converted their pre-facelift 996 and Boxsters (not as common) listing the parts needed.

More than I care to think about. But please note that car prices here in Norway are insane. Bought this car for around $50k less than two years ago, so relatively speaking I have probably spent a lot less on mods than a lot of you guys.

Nice. I played with the thought. TechArt has some awesome looking wheels that would complement the look, but I happen to love the GT3/SportDesign-wheels and they still look like new. Big red calipers are tempting, though.

[cbbepop]

Ooo I love it!!
What do dealership people say when they see that

[djomlas]

oh that is very tastefully done!

i wuold suggest painting those calipers red, and perhaps the rollhoops in red too

[pcar-yvr]

Hey Atle, very beautiful Boxster!

Can you tell me what you needed to do with the rear spoiler when you converted to the '03 bumper cover? I'd like to do the conversion myself but am not sure all the work / parts required.

Thanks!

[djomlas]

just something to think about

if you need help photoshopping any wheels on your car let me know

[Burg Boxster]

djomlas-

nice ps work w/ the calipers but you colored the padded portion of the rollbar, not the metal hoops themselves great job and excellent suggestions. Good to see you here again.

Be well

[tnoice]

looks great!
