Thumbs up Thank you Forum.....

Hello Forum.
I purchased a 97 Box right before Turkey day. 40K with no records.
So with no records I decided that I better do any maint I could.
Short story here is this Forum Rocks!!!
From de-ambering, oil seperators, badge re-moval, plugs, de-snorkeling,etc....I found it here. So a giant Thank You to all Forum Members that make this possible.
Big time money saved. :dance: Go 986

Wow, I'm getting some clear corners and window tint.

Looks great, and will look even more under-the-radar on my blue car.

Nice ride, Porshaw. We were looking for Silver/Red, but settled for Silver/Black. Enjoy your Boxster. They're loads of fun. Welcome aboard.

Congrats on the purchase! Shes a beauty. So, is this your own lift/garage in the pic?! That would come in handy.....

by your choice in exterior and interiors I can see you are a HIGLY sophisticated and intelligent person who has many friends and even more admirers.

DJLomas, you can buy clear corners for your non-Litronic Boxster. They are about $40. I bought my set from Eagle Day for my Halogens and Brandywine for my Litronics when I upgraded. I've been saying to window the turn signals for years but I never thought it would stay on. I tinted my rear windscreen a yellow vermillion color to dial out the haze but the darn film blew off the car when I was going SLIGHTLY above the speed limit one day.
I think it would look a little better if the clear triangle was tinted as well, keeps the visual line smoother. much better than forking over the $1100 I did on Litronics. a set of hyper white bulbs would complete the look. I never got around to that though before I sold my Halogens.

p.s.
try the chrome door edge protectors for front intake grills. They sell them pre cut all over ebay but you can buy them at Pepboys for $8 and cut them with pliers yourself.

Ah yes the Garage. www.garagetown.com[/URL]
Bought the garage in July to store company equipment. One bay for the comapny, the other for the Boxs oil changes I suppose.

I never thought of tinting the corners, just wanted the amber gone. It's a good idea. I think it will finish it off. While I was wating for the new corners I painted the old amber ones, just to see. I thought I would throw a pic on for fun. So far the other tint is holding up fine. I was just crossing the ole fingers in the first place. So thank you again for the comments/suggestions..
