Going to sound stupid but did you lightly sand the lights to get the paint to stick and I did not mean to slight you your lights look really good too . What paint did you use ? I am really interested in just painting the headlights and then doing the side marker Hack which makes it blink when my directional is on taking the place of the turn signal.

well i think the orange is ghetto. i was going to comment on how the silver looked good dj. i think i'll hold my comments, as you probably wouldnt be able to deal with my ghetto comments.

this is the best post.........by the bruce lee dude, did he not read the post. the topic is about how ghetto dj's car looks. not about how people spell and sentence structure. hahahahahaha

you guys should really check out renntech forum, i see soo many posts here that say to go over to the renntech forum for help. this seems like a grade two forum, i can see that everyone threw out there degrees after buying a porsche.

i can take any kind of a comment, thas y i posted the picture for the world to see (with my licence plate number in all pictures where visible).
the point is that DAAM421 made the same comment on someone elses car, and i think by now we see that he is against paint for some reason and he likes orange better than silver, and in his words it "really looked like ********************tt".

but you know, at the end of the day im the one driving my car, not him or you or anyone else, and i can choose to do whatever i want to it, i have never owned anything 'rice' on any one of my cars and i never will, i just dont see how getting rid of amber lights is rice? "you see ricers that do this over and over . i thought we are better than that?"
i guess now i even have ghetto tail lights since there is no more orange there and i painted them red as well.
i really wonder if he thinks that painting interior pieces is rice as well, or is porsche ricing out boxsters with sport option? or would that look like duct tape? (i still dont see how duct tape looks like paint, o well)

if we all drove identical cars with identical mods what fun would that be, i jsut lke the fact that not only does my car look better without orange, i did it without dishing out couiple hundred dollars and it still looks good, <<< that is according to my opinion, but others may disagree

see that, it says porsche TECHNICAL, so u are more likely to find technical information there than here, but this is more of a forum that we all visit daily and have a laugh or 2 and help eachother if we can, i dont see y you wuld be hating, either you like it or not, your choice where u want to spend oyur spare tine (and look, im not even using cap. letters and full sentences), i hang out here more than any other forum and like it a lot, and a lot of people will agree

i am curious did you lightly sand the headlights to have the paint stick? Cause the fact of it being plastic maybe alittle tough to get it to stick at first if you could tell me your process i want to do it this weekend also iam getting a bodykit put on as well... a company out of poland made only one body kit and i got it...lol

Is this body kit "good looking"? Or body kit "extreme"? (with little winglets, holes, tubes, waves, and sharp angles) Post some pics of the site, or the kit, or something.

I don 't know if it is being post since this is my 2nd time trying to post pics of the kit. This isn't my car but it will give you an idea of what it looks like. I bought it several months ago and don't believe the company is making anymore i think it was more like "promo" I bought it for 650 which includes side skirts, front bumper , and back bumper. The color scheme of my car is silver and black. My wheels are custom painted black and my side intake vents are black as well. I just bought mesh grills for the front air vents and have them painted black too. Just to back track the side intake vents are silver and black. The fins/slots whatever you call them are silver and the surrounding piece is black. I am going to try and post the pictures again including the mesh grills i just bought for front air vents. Oh by the way I did not to the doors like in the picture didn't like that mod.
