Who did the front end for you?

I think the problem is that the rear end still has the base Boxster single oval tailpipe which is not very aggressive looking, especially since the front of the car looks so aggressive now. The amber tail lights also look dated. If he added a dual tip muffler, the newer euro clear tail lights, and some side skirts to balance out the frontal heavy turbo front bumper, it would look perrrrfect!

My old rear end look...not very modern or aggressive with the wimpy oval tip:


With updated tail lights, mean looking dual exhaust, and painted bumperettes:

I can't decide whether I want to go GHL or Borla exhaust. They're both twin canister but, which one is louder? I ordered Fabspeed cat deletes today but, I'm going to wait until I buy the exhaust and install all at once.

Thanks Nick. Well, although mine is their full exhaust, I think you can just buy the tips now, and bolt them onto your stock muffler if you have an 03 or 04 muffler that accepts bolted on tips. They look like they would fit the stock muffler.

Boxtaboy,

Thanks for the suggestion ! Unfortunately mine is a 99 without the interchangable tips.

Nick
