I have every intention of doing your "de-amber" mod, I'm just still gathering up the courage to take a dremel to the lenses. lol

Sancha got tint last weekend, and a thorough cleaning just now. http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/06/28/8ygyragu.jpg

Installed Polaris' Auto Top DIY
http://986forum.com/forums/diy-project-guides/51822-autotop-diy.html

Great DIY project, low cost (< $25) and now I have an auto opening and closing top (hood for those across the pond :))

Switched out the amber side markers. Ordered the stealth bulbs for them today.

Did a thorough scrubbing of the roof canvas with 303 cleaner, plus a wash to get all of the nasty off. Much better.

Roof protectant will be applied in a few days once the roof is dry (staying in the garage until then).

Swapped front motor mount center element out as the last mechanical task before leaving on a 3K mile road trip day after tomorrow. Going from Arkansas to central Montana for a wedding, then a couple of days in Yellowstone before moseying home via western Colorado via the Million Dollar highway through Durango and Pagosa Springs.

I finally started work on my headlights. Maybe they'll be ready in time for the autumn driving season :o

We celebrated it's 11TH birthday today.
Had a great drive on some twisty back roads.

60155 miles
Daily driver.

oh no you flipped it!

I installed Top Speed test pipes and Top Speed type of Exhaust. INCREDABLE!!!!! The sound is awesome!!! I already had the K&N Cold Air intake, so now I have a complete breathing system upgraded. :)

Pulled my bimmer out of storage today so I decided to give both of the German beauty queens a wash and polish:). The Box even a bit older, just has such a timeless look to it. If and when I decide to add another Porsche to the garage, I honestly don't think I could ever let the 986 go. THUMBS UP for Turtle Wax Black Box too!

Im so stoked. I picked mine up this evening after having the top replaced with an autotrophs direct top with the glass window and defroster. I promptly put 50 glorious highway miles on it in beautiful 75 degree weather.

Added surprise? My horn now randomly works again.

I agree. I hate to think of it now in the height of my driving season, but during the winter months i live vicariously through the posts in this thread.

Almost finished with my headlights! I've been planning these out for about 6 months :eek:

Looks great, really great!
You even have room left on the bottom for the rocket launcher

I was thinking that a minigun would match the theme better :D

yes, you are right a mini Gatling gun would be perfect

I changed the convertible top for a newer one with a glass window.

Also removed some of the dirt accumulated on the engine (thinking of trying to clean it even more tomorrow) and cleaned the air filter.

The new top is awesome, looks so clean compared to the old one:
