The VHT nite shades is what I was going to use, too. The how to link I posted said to clear coat them afterwards, so I'll do the fogs and take them and all the grilles to my painter at the same time.
Call me crazy (well jmatta will call me "blingy" ) but I'm not going to do the sidemarkers or the tail lights. I like the color with the red calipers.
I think the silver grilles in the front and sides makes the boxster look less rich, or classy, however you want to describe it. I don't want to overdo it, so I'll do the grilles and fogs before going with the polished Carrera Lightweights. I may decide to go with the unpolished Carreras, time will tell.
My racing buddies can't believe how I am with the Boxster because my racing philosophy was "pretty doesn't make it fast". While they were repainting and polishing, I was developing, testing, trying different set-ups and buying lighter weight parts. Guess who won?
