Wow! The car looks great and, now, I just found a bunch of stuff to add to my checklist for my 2000 S (thanks!). Do you have a recommended source for the LED interior, license plate and side-marker lights? I love that look.

DIY on removing 986 bumperettes

Can anyone tell me how to actually remove the bumperettes on my 2001 boxster? I removed the allen-head bolt but can't actually get the bumperette off, even though it is quite loose and seems like it should just fall off. HELP

Never mind, just need to give them a little more of a tug, now I can proceed with painting as soon as supplies arrive.

Ordered my M2 Muffler on ebay yesterday, you inspired me Scott. Got it for $270 delivered, put it on first and then maybe see if I want the cat delete pipes in the future. I'm a little concerned about passing emissions in Cali with the rear cats deleted. Anyone have experience, in Cali, with this issue?

Few things with the cat deletes - not only will it reduce weight and increase flow but combined with the M2 exhaust it will get rid of the drone sub-3,000 RPM range. Someone on here said they passed CA smog with the second cats gone. Your emission specs should still be good enough, you still have the O2 sensors, and you'll most likely pass visual in that the technician would have to know the box has 4 cats to realize that something has changed.

Anyhow - I'm taking off really soon, but you're welcomed to come over and use the lift sometime before I go.. I could give you a hand too, getting that muffler swapped should go quickly.

PS- check your private messages, those things are so easy to miss!

Take care,

Thanks! (:

For the LEDs here's some of my posts:

http://986forum.com/forums/general-discussions/50323-led-license-plate-bulbs.html
http://986forum.com/forums/general-discussions/50445-depo-tail-lights-dual-reverse-lamps-led-turn-signals.html

For the interior LEDs I picked up the Suncoast kit- it's great but a bit more expensive than if you purchased them separately. What's nice about the suncoast kit is they're all just the right level of white (not too yellow/blue).

You can get the suncoast kit here.

Hope that helps, welcome to the forum!
