Just wanted to share what I did

[unklekraker]

Im thinking about painting the bumperettes but i can't find anything closer to the paint of my car. my only option is send it to bumperplugs and have them re-paint it but it might cost me my 3rd child
about the tires: I would love to make it shiny but I can't find one that wont be all over the door when i drive..you know, the oil thingy can you recommend one...

Well the prices are for the 5spd,I doubt the auto/tip suspension would cost alot more but I know it consist of other parts.

That is part of email I shared w/ Jeff Clark of Sunset Imports,his responses are in italiacs.

Hi,
I was looking to get a quote on some parts;
~99' Boxster RoW rear sway bar w/ bushings bar is 71.70 month from Germany, bushings 7.65 ea, week away
~front & rear RoW springs fronts 88.33 month from Germany with red and yellow color band. Rears are 80.62 with one pair in the US, if they sell out it's a month from Germany. Color band is red/red. Priced per pair.

This is all for a manual trans car.

END OF EMAIL

Now I didn't ask about dampers(shocks) cause I figure I will use the 'S' ones I have lying around in the garage. The estimates also dont include the front sway bar & bushings which I already have installed in the car.

The cost of installation is what will get you on these cars. I called 5 indie shops and they ranged from $600-1k for installation....YIKES! Then on top of that you have to get an alignment. Then I remembered about the traveling indie P-mechanics that work on old 911s,Mobile Works. Gave them a call and to my luck the mechanic that works the Sacramento region works on newer Porsches! I was estimated $400 for installation(included traveling fee to get to my house).

Here is a pic of a Boxster w/ the RoW kit.

I think the bumperettes would look sharp, lets start you a fund like randall's supercharger fund

I used tire wett or some junk on mine...maybe a meguiars product actually last time...the signature pic looks great now tho....maybe we can have DJ photoshop some armorall on those tires

go to www.paintscratch.com and get OEM paint and DIY on those bumperettes
or even better if you dont wanna DIY it, go to a random shop and see how much they will charge to paint it, i got as low as $95 for prep paint and clear for mine in this weird color

nice siggy btw

[unklekraker]

i know, the sig look sharp! thanks to DJ i dont think you could photoshop an armor all on tires...hehehehehehe!

I'll go to pep boys tomorrow to checl out some tire magic o some sort

[djomlas]

[unklekraker]

[djomlas]

no prob man, i got the power to put some armorall over the net, even sitting on the chair

[epiqshawn]
