yes yes its the litronics guys
the sticker above the PCA logo is police support decal (hopefully it MAY get me out of something that i shouldn't have done in the first place)
and the side markers...im still not sure if i want to put the smoked ones on there or not, but i probably will...

It looks great!
How did you do the side markers? Did you use touchup paint?

New mod = RMS Leak? (Oh, wait ...that's my car).

Your car looks equally good in the fall leaves & the winter snow.

The painted side markers look good, but now that you put on litronics, you can consider matching the glass color with the side markers. I picked mine up from Sunset (in FL) for $29 for the pair.

springs are from Gemballa.
im not gonna sell the stock lights, although the orange does come off, but if i decide to sell the car down the line, ill sell the litronics separately and put the stock ones back on.

I have to say that your car is really starting to grow on me. Nice job.

Have you considered a three spoke or RUF steering wheel?

I'm thinking of adding carbon fiber door pocket lid covers.

I need to take some pics. I added an Aluma look center console, carbon shift knob, alum pedals. Still need to add the alum e-brake.

What do you mean? You can remove the orange from your headlights? How? Is there a DIY post on this? I've replaced the side markers, added clear taillights, and a smoked third brake light. The only amber left on the car is on my headlights. I'd buy clear ones but I just can't afford it right now.

Tim,

http://www.renntech.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=178

This hack is only for litronics, 996 or 2003 Boxster 'clear' lights, which have clear triangles. If you have lights with the amber on the headlight cover then this hack is not for you as you cannot remove the amber. Only on the clear lights with an internal amber lense.

( from Tool Pants )
