What did you do with/to your Boxster today?

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?

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.

My headlights did not need that done. Mine have the clear lens with an amber box inside of the light housing. Just needed the amber box removed.

And my Depo tail lights came in the mail. Believe me, if I can figure this installation out, anyone can. Took maybe an hour...40 minutes for the first one and 20 minutes for the second one. I didn't mess with the wiring like some of you have been doing. Here's the before and after.
