Put 2 new O2 sensors in today. I noticed today that after the battery has been disconnected and reconnected, the Blaupunkt Toronto with an SD card immediately springs to life and starts playing "Alive and Kicking" by Simple Minds.

She is still in the garage because of rain, but here are a couple pics. Kinda of hard to see the awesomeness with the car in the garage, but in person they are sweet!
Before
After
I painted the black rubber piece that goes around the light with some Rust-Oleum/Silver peel coat, same as PlastiDip.

Looks absolutely stunning! Takes a decade off the car, easily
One more car successfully de-halogened (I made up a new word).

Yes it does take years off the car. With the head light and taillight change, the car looks much younger.
Thanks for the awesome job Charles!
Still need to get my bumper lined up right after the body shop didn't get it on correctly.

How did you remove the amber of the head lights? Soldering iron?

Here you go:

As Charles states in the thread, not for the faint of heart. I used sandpaper, which took a lot longer, but I felt a little safer. By hand is not really an option - need some sort of power. Took me a solid day per headlight working slow and taking breaks with the kids. Had a very sad amber winky face for a couple weeks till I had another whole day to do the second side.

particlewave built the lights for me in advance. He took the headlight lens off a set he had and removed the amber box in the headlight. When I got there, he removed my my headlight lenses and put them onto the units he had prepared for me.

KRAM, love the headlights! They make the car look much younger!
Wallace River, same goes for the DEPO tail lights, they look great! Now you just have to pick up some stealth amber turn signal lights to get rid of that last bit of amber!
I was online today at Griot's, looking to order some products after attending a detailing clinic put on by our local PCA chapter. I was going to order their detailing handbook but noticed they have a free PDF version! I downloaded it to my iPad which I have a mount for in my garage, perfect! I thought I would share since it is free and has some good tips and instruction

Today I went to DMV to register and get plates for my new (to me) 2000 Boxster. Picked it up after work and now own my very first Porsche. Unbelievable.

Amazing what two good speakers can do to a sound system. Installed two Focal 165's into the doors - immediate improvement on the sound, big time. Next up, new Kenwood touch screen when my parts arrive from Euro Motorspeed.

HAd my indy replace the AOS (which actually was in real good shape...) and the motor mount (which was totally ripped...) and clean the throttle body.
The car is not hicking up anymore when I am shifting  )

Drove it for the first time since breaking my arm a couple of weeks ago. Then I put a bag over my hand and washed it Lint rolled, cleaned, and treated the top.
