Wow, great aftermarket tailight and Porsche 981 bagde, i have same color and idea, and was thinking about do it the same. Now i see it on pics and that looks very cool.....
I have innstalled homemade front grilles, and DIY innstalled a new blue softtop glas window, because the old was leaking, plastic window crack.

Just a question, is the 981 and Boxster S emblem in chrome or titanium finish?

Thanks

The PORSCHE badge is in chrome.

The original (i think) Boxster S is grey/titanium. Some of the paint has been rubbed off (lots of polishing by the previous owners I hope) so I am tempted to buy replacement in chrome, we will see.

Ilikeching, what did you use for your DIY grills? I need to do something about mine.

Hossuk, love the 981 badging also. My emblem is broken by the "B" so eventually need to replace. Yours looks great.

I like the Lapis blue and the oil gauge temp and volt cluster. Reminds of of my old 280zx, that car had nice gauges too.

Thanks for the feedback guys. The project is definitely nearing completion. Cant make up my mind whether to add a rear spoiler. Other than that it'll be changing to sport suspension but I don't think I can justify the expense.

Grilles

Where'd you get the grilles and how much were they? How do they attach? Thanks!

They are made by Zunsport.

I was lucky enough to get used from a private seller on ebay... They were immaculate and cost £46.25 ... Equates to approx $70.00.

They are surrounded by a rubber seal ... You push them on then bend a number of metal hooks around the hole to hold them in place .. Very simple and seems secure.

They are available new on uk ebay approx $175 for outer 2 only and $220 for outer plus center for S. Dont know if they deliver to US though.

Also available here Online Car Accessories Shop, Car Parts, Car Aerials, Car Care - Motocare

Hope this helps

PS I didn't go for centre.... A because my number plate surround hides most of it anyway and B heard rumours that they didn't fit well or at all in some cases

Hi,

the grills was bought in any car styling shop, cut them for fitting and used chrome interior decor list around the grill, and mountet on with small white strips. Stylish, cheap and easy way to protect your radiators.....

Lighting Upgrades

LED's on stock rear spoiler. Comes on when the side lights are turned on.



LED's on rear trunk lid


Interior Lighting - Obviously looks much better in the dark
