Just before i bought my boxster the prev. owner had the right headlight replaced total w/ labor was $483, at a dealership of course. Anyway if I were having to replace both headlights, I'd just come up w/ the extra money and go w/ litronic conversion. Many boxster owners have this upgrade done eventually anyways. Another thought, if it were me there's no way I would allow them to only paint 3/4 of the car. The insurance company would have to pay for a full paint job. There's absolutely no way the paint will completely match. Maybe in some light it will appear to match but to a trained eye it would be visible. I'd negotiate a bit w/ them to see if they would do that to satisfy you guys at least. I can only imagine the sorrow your mom is feeling. Being teased w/ 24hours of boxster only to have it taken away. OUCH!!!
