Hey everyone I'm going to be purchasing my first Porsche and I'm very excited to actually be able own such an amazing car. I have dreamed about these cars since I was little. I will be purchasing a 2001 986 Boxster S. This car is in immaculate condition, pretty much brand new inside and out with only 21K miles.

These retrofit kits look awesome and will definitely be the first mod that I will take on once I receive the car.

I just have a couple of questions after looking over this kit.
- What all comes with this kit. Looking at the Pelican Parts website where these are sold now it doesn't give many details or even show a picture of the Turismo series kit.
- Is baking the headlight assembly and pulling the lens apart from the assembly really difficult and what can go wrong? I have watched a couple youtube videos and they don't make it seem that hard. I feel comfortable installing this kit as I have wired and installed HID's and preformed different mods in other vehicles but I have never baked a fairly expensive headlight assembly like this one.
- Are the projectors really secure once installed with the lock nut? They don't need epoxy or anything similar to hold it secure to the projector to the inside of the assembly?
- With car being Polar Silver, I think that the gun metal color will be best color option with white angel eyes. Anyone else have any other suggestions that would look aggressive but still classic?

thanks for any help and suggestions that anyone will have. I look forward to being a true member of this group and can't wait to have my perma grin start once I receive this great car!
