It has been some years since I replaced mine, but I believe my side clears came with amber bulbs. I then bought replacement bulbs that look silver but flash amber. So you can't detect any amber when they are off.

I think the side clear lenses will complete the look and freshen your front end nicely.

Did you have a recent front end respray? I've read you have a lot of miles. The paint looks fantastic.

Don't look too close, the front bumper is pretty rough. I have never painted anything on this car. I have been thinking about paiting the front bumper but I will wait until after my road trip (next month) before thinking about doing that. There is also some road rash on the hood but it's not too bad, I can live with it for now.

Maybe a little... Instead of painting my existing bumper I'm thinking about buying this bumper and having them paint it seal gray:

Holy cow! The cost of that bumper alone, including fitment, paint etc is going to be worth about a quarter to a third of what the car's worth!

What the car is worth? What's that?? I'm not going to sell it or trade it in.

If you enjoy facelifting and modidying it, then your car is priceless mate. Like yourself, most of us who mod their boxster are having huge fun doing it so just go ahead, keep it, mod it and have fun doing it! Just the "fun out" of moding this car alone is great return on investment imo
