Why upgrade a 986 to a modernistic 2014 Boxster look?

There's something timeless and endearing about the design and patina of an older Boxster.

Just sayin'..................

Didn't meant to offend anyone or anyone's Boxster. I agree with you that old style headlights, battle scars, yellow'ed/burnt reflectors and all, can certainly add some character to any car.

RE the 2014 Boxster comment. As you can see from my whole thread... I am just having fun mate. Didn't really meant/believe that. I do however make it obvious that I'm all up for serious aesthetic improvements whatever it takes

No offense taken.

The obvious quality of work you are producing is fantastic!

With all my cars, I have always appreciated what the original designer/engineer/team has offered. I guess I'm just a "clean-sheeter".

Thought I'd share what some designer/engineer/team have done to this GT1. Even the PRO in the trade would recommend to swap those old style headlight to modern looking black interiors with far-far-far better optics!

Not as cool and switched-on as my kit but you get the idea behind the 'well needed retrofitting' of this particular Porsche headlight model
