Why am I having a flashback to Richard Dreyfuss in Close Encounters of the Third Kind? Now what were you saying?

Very nice and cool work/ideas. I like it all.

Super clean car as well. Looks just like a brand new car.

Well done mate

PS: I've straighten my tailpipes using two huge bars. One prying up and the other prying down. Took me 15 seconds Careful not to bend the edge (chrome bit) of the tailpipe.... do use BIG bars and make sure they are deep inside before putting pressure.

i noticed a little interior detail in your photo (on the right)...
the attached BOXSTER S emblem.

Not an easy mod...i had to do quite some research to finally stumble across 3M VHD tape, which i used to attach my Boxster emblem there (--> soft-PVC :ah.

What did you use (on, well it looks like leather)...?

cheers

Hi Bran,
the emblem is brushed aluminium sticker, from ebay: it comes with a set of 2.
"BOXSTER S dashboard badge roadster 986 987"

Ah ok, that explains it.

I used my "old" replaced rear Boxster emblem, which had no adhesive left, after i removed it with dental floss.

How did you attach those crests?

btw...
Your front bumper cover = Boxster
Your exhaust & emblem = Boxster S

anyways...cool work ilikeching

No need to throw the old Boxster trunk badge, put it on the front trunk battery cover:
