Hey guys just joined!
Great forum. I just bought a Boxster S. Its my 2nd boxster I had one several years ago and also a 911 cab years ago also. I found this super deal on a Boxster S and grabbed it.
The lights are not litronic, whats best throwing some xenon bulbs in for like $50 or going with the litronics that are like $1200? Anybody tried an HID kit or projection headlight kit for $300-$500?

Do you own the limo company in your links? I wonder what kind of job you would have to have to own that type of collection.

Awesome
Hi:
Great collection! That yellow 360 Modena sounds and looks awesome. I love Ferraris; going to South Beach next week and renting an F430 Spider. I can't wait!
Just curious, with the number of exotics at your "disposal", why buy a Boxster and not a 911 Turbo for example. I'm just interested in getting various perspectives on the Boxster, especially from someone like you who has driven so many different high end cars.
Thanks.

Well for one I wanted a convertable, I've had very few hardtop sports cars. 2nd I picked it up for 24 grand and its in flawless condition not even a paint scratch, wrote a check and got a 3 year warranty from GE for it, cant go wrong there. Its something I'm gonna keep for at least 5 years and my girlfriend can drive it everyday if she wants to. For that price I got this I could have gotten 3 or 4 boxsters for the price of a turbo.

Ok I just finally got around to making a video of the lamborghini with a shot of the boxster S - here - lambo video . Tell me what you think of the custom exhaust
just ordered HID kit for the boxster and clear side lamps, where do I find the clear corners for the headlamps to get rid of the orange?

You can't remove the amber coloring from the headlights,you have to buy an entirely different headlight assembly.

I think I'm going to goto my local car shop and put some tint over the amber part of the lights and see how it looks.

Or you can do what boggtown and I did, buy some black window tint spray, remove the lights, tape them off, and spray them. I just saw someone on this forum...I think GARY in BR (sorry I forgot his user name), but he sprayed his fronts just leaving the round headlight section. It looks great, like a newer 911, and I think he put in new foglamps lower in the body. Check out his pics and video.

hmm I think 5% limo window tint would be safer. Hey if you dont like it just rip it off!
Know how this would look on a yellow or any other car besides black?
