Beautiful car. Great pictures. Where did you buy your turbo bumper? Was is very hard to remove and replace the bumper? Tough to line every thing up perfectly? I want to swap my bumper at some point.

Really like the front. Can't say enough about how that looks...
the back for some reason looks a little naked to me with the debadge. I've seen it before and liked it on other colors. Maybe it is the speed yellow that does it? How about trying a Boxster S badge in Speed yellow? Just an idea..
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 got the Turbo bumper for free, it came off my dad's Turbo when he put a full Techart kit on his.
This conversion was very pricey and a hell of alot more work than just swapping the bumper and headlights out. The fenders are different also, came off an 02-05 Carrera. Alot of modifying and alot of misc. parts.
parts, painting, and labor came out to $4800. Like I said pricey conversion.

I would but, it's not an S. You can faintly see Boxster in the paint from where the emblem was removed. almost like a ghost emblem.

I will be deambering and exhaust, headers, and intake are on my list. Although, I kind of like the single outlet exhaust.

It really looks great! I would think the shop that did the work could get the emblem ghosting out with a rotary or you could yourself with a Porter Cable and some polish if you have one.

I actually prefer the single exhaust look as well...even though I know the sound from your set up(boxtaboy) blows the stock sound away....just another one of those subjective things.

In the following picture, it looks like it's missing a piece of black lining just under the headlight...
When you push downward on the bottom of the headlight, how secure is the fit? I had to have mine adjusted repeatedly to get it right.

Dang!...you have good eyes. That's right- it appears that the rubber seal is missing from the bottom edge of the headlamp.

The rubber piece is there, it's just the picture that makes it look that way.
The lights flex about a quarter of an inch when I press on the bottom of the light. I haven't had any problems yet.
Thanks for the compliments, it's much appreciated!

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.
