Dude if that's the case keep an eye out on eBay. There is a seller under the name 'eurowheelsusa' or something similar to that. They sell the same wheels as Wheel Dynamics except $200 less + colored center caps. They also provide good customer service,that's a plus.

Yo Cj here you go

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/18-PORSCHE-CARRERA-WHEELS-911-944-928-BOXSTER-RIMS_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ43959QQihZ005QQite mZ150182875615QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWDVW

Send them an offer of $800,they will take it. It's only $925 for wheels,caps + shipping(w/ insurance).

Wheel Dynamics charges $1050 for wheels w/ cheap caps,$100 to ship + $100 tax....

That's a steal!

I think if I had it to do over again that's what I would put on my car. They were in my top three wheel choices, but Ellen liked the TSWs best. Now, the Carrera Classics even come in 19s. Best of both worlds!

Yo Blink! When are you going to post more pics of your car?

Tonight after I pick up my new clear halogens.

(Long story short,NEVER, buy single Litronics on eBay,only buy headlights in sets)

CJ-

Happy ending compared to when you walked out and saw the holes where your old lights were, huh?

Go for the clear front bra ASAP to protect that new paint job and then go for the 18 Carrera lighweights and your '97-99 boxster will visually be a 2004!!!!

Good luck,

juan986 · 11-17-2007, 05:11 PM

Wow! It looks great man! It gave it a whole new look!! did you find litronics yourself at a good price or did the insurance do that part? I need to know a good place to find at a good price.

Looks great! The before picture looks good to me as well.

Your hood crest looks brighter. Was it replaced or is it just the pictures?

Did you (or the body shop) install the high-beam electronics or just plug-n-play?

Thanks, Its just the pictures that make it look brighter, I might be changing it to a silver hood crest.

The bodyshop installed them but I havent installed the high beam control box, the lights however do have a halogen High beam that turns on like a normal high beam, only difference is the control box will allow the HID light to work in conjunction with the high beam

I'd like to put a pic of my car in the sig, looks like it'a some sort of private club or I don't know the secret to the process.

You have to upload the sig you made to a host like Photobucket.com and then copy the IMG code to the image you uploaded to Photobucket, then come back to the forum and in your account settings, you need to paste the IMG code in your Signature. Then it'll automatically appear in every post you make and have made in the past.
