Nip / Tuck - The Boxster saga

[Pharaoh Sphinx]

Travis, get the 986->996 turbo facelift conversion, its probably the sexiest modifcation for your boxster

replaces the front fenders, headlights, and front bumper with parts from the 996 turbo, looks absolutely gorgeous in my opinion, and is supposedly very easy to install. you should really consider it if you want to make your boxster really stand out. Theres only a handful of boxsters with the modifcation, and almost all are in europe.

As I read your post all that I could hear is "Cha-Ching" and my wife's divorce attorney laughing


I really like the stock design of the 986, it just needs a little "nip & tuck".

I do like the way Jeph's turned out, but that would be out of my budget, for now just the Aero kit and later this week installing the litronics.

And of course when I burn off the rubber on my new tires I will be "forced" to upgrade to 18" wheels

Sorry to hear about the mismatched parts, bud! So you're going to have them put on the zenders and take off the Aero I and II skirts? Or, are you going to send the II back and get a I to match?

One thing everyone should know is that you should inspect all parts coming out of a Porsche box. I've had THREE wrong parts put in the right boxes now.

That's just sloppy distribution, ain't it?

Isnt the zender skirt the same as the aerokit II? Or is that the wierd one that comes up by the door?

Randall - I had them remove both Aero skirts and paint / install the Zenders, that way I have both on hand to deal with Porsche if at all possible.

I have attached the Aero I & II style skirts along with the Zender style.

The Aero II & Zender I think are quite close but not an exact match.

Aero I


Aero II


Zender

Be sure to post some pix of the car when you get it. I should have my skirts and rear diffuser on by Saturday afternoon, just in time for the PCA event out at the race track.

I can second that, I just picked my car up from the body shop, they were suppose to replace the bumper with the Aero II, even went to the stealer to verify the part number before it got ordered, I get there and the car has the AeroI bumper on it. Not much I can do about it as they gave me the option to verify the parts before they painted but I was in Germany.
