The side sills evo ones. Im unsure whether they will look awesome, or totaly lame. They look like the gemballa ones, but smaller... throw out some other suggestions.

The side skirts look pretty good, but that front bumper looks great to me. If I ever wind up replacing mine, I think I will have to pick up that one.

I agree with the 550 lights, Ive mentioned for a long time now that I wanted them, I just have other things id rather have first, lol. The clear headlights came in good shape, there are some scratches on them but I havent gotten around to polishing them yet. Its not too bad, but it needs to be fixed none the less. And I am done with the exterior after the skirts, the only thing I have been eyeing is the aerokit II wing, which im not saving up any money for, so we will see. Im saving up for the GT3 seats though...
Its been a long journey though...

Well from the looks of your ride - the journey was well worth it. Can't wait to see the skirts on her!

986Roadster 02-21-2007 12:36 PM

sweeeet, can't wait to see it with the side skirts.

yow do not buy the fancy lights....i made the mistake of buying blue/white blubs, and my lights on the inside are burnt. i've had the blubs in for about 2 years now, and at the end of the summer i noticed a yelllow tint on the inside. actually last night i went to buy some fancy blubs again...i figure fuc they're burnt anyways. if you look closely, the inside is actually melted. so try and stay close to stock watts.

I got my sideskirts put on tuesday. I will take some pictures this weekend. They look pretty good, pretty subtle.

boggtown 03-02-2007 02:51 PM

I hardwired my V1 this afternoon. Took me all of 20 minutes without any hand tools except a tiny screwdriver which I only used to push the cord into the dash. I used this website http://gallery.rennlist.com/gallery/albur30 and it helped a lot, untill I tested my V1 and realized he mixed up his wires (or 996's are different) because for me the black and green wire was switched power. Its super easy to find the plug too, mine was tucked under the center console but I saw a tiny bundle of wires and pulled on it untill the plug popped up. I recomend it! My V1 is right beside the rear view mirror like that guys in the picture, but a little lower (level with the rear view mirror).

I dont know... mounting it up there for all to see, might not sit well with the local PD since they can see it clear as day.

boggtown 03-02-2007 06:48 PM

I dont know, its pretty well hidden. Besides, there not illegal...

boggtown 03-24-2007 01:16 PM

Here are some pics, the good and the bad, lol. The cars dirty btw.
I added my V1, debadged, clear sidemarkers, sideskirts, shift knob, and new front emblem.

Hey Bogg,

Nice pics! :cheers:

BTW, is your new emblem ROUND??

bmussatti 03-24-2007 01:25 PM

Bog, looks good. Side skirts look really nice...very subtle. I like the de-badging on the rear trunk lid. Very clean look and adds a bit of mystery.

Why is the front hood emblem round? What is that?

unklekraker 03-24-2007 02:19 PM

bogg...i have to say......you're car is awesome looking :D

I love the de-badged trunk and the round emblem...like what everyone said...where did you get it?

boggtown 03-24-2007 03:54 PM

Its a vintage Gemballa.

nice ride- quick question when you removed the "boxster" off the back was there any paint difference from the rest being exposed to the sun? if so howd ya fix it?

boggtown 03-24-2007 11:25 PM

No, I think my car was garaged everyday and none of the paint is faded in the least. When I had the GT3 bumper on it matched perfectly, and that was shot with straight black.

ROMES 03-24-2007 11:30 PM

ahh lucky you~! whered ya find the mesh inserts for your grill?

Lol(2months later...my car is a replica of yours haha)

bmussatti 03-25-2007 04:59 AM

Boggtown, your car looks great. But, I like the Porsche crest better on the front trunk, IMHO. Sorry.

boggtown 03-25-2007 07:35 AM

Ya, I totaly agree with you there. Its more of a setting it apart and being unique than a shear masterpiece, lol. I can always put the emblem back on if I want. I think it looks pretty slick and only diehard Porsche fans will notice, so I like that aspect as well.
