My Mods to Date

Would you share the type and size of wheels? They are very sharp.

[trieullionaire]

The wheel size is 19's with the rears being "10 and the fronts being "8.5. Rear tires are 275/30/19 and fronts are 235/35/19. I have 5mm spacers in the rear just to make sure it's not rubbing anything. As for brand, I'm not sure I remember a while back another forum member had some that were pretty much identical and I think they were called Hiro rims or something.

They sure look like they could be Miro rims, which is probably the name you're thinking of. They make a 19" rim in the same widths, that some members on here have. Miro also advertises in Excellence magazine. Here's a link to their wheel that looks like yours:

If you like it let me know, if you don't write it on a $20 and send it express...promise it be the first thing I read :P Just kidding, it's a free country like to hear what you think. Enough about the headlight covers though, I got the point...will paint it one of these days...I've heard it all, even from my own brother..."racoon eyes," burglar looking front, anything but "hey that's really nice."

But just a side note, anyone ever realize just how beautiful the shape of the old headlights are on the 986? I'm not just saying it because I don't have a 987 Boxster with the updated headlights, but take a look at the contours and you'll really start to appreciate how well it flowed with the lines of the car. The shape is really beautiful especially when unobstructed by headlight covers (There you go I admit I prefer my headlights w/out the cover) I definitely think the clears is the way to go better yet litronics but for now covered up amber is what I will settle for.

Anyways, got more treats for you folks. Here are the most recent photos of my little buddy.

Personally I'm a big fan of your car. I like it a lot! I don't think the headlight covers look bad at all. The wheels are awesome and the red painted roll bar hoop is VERY cool, especially the way it matches your calipers.

I agree about the 986 headlights. I didn't care for them with the amber, but now that I have litronics I like them a lot. I do think that the 986 has better lines (headlights and side intakes) than the 987. I've thought about going to the turbo headlights, but honestly the more I look at the 986 litronics I can't say that the turbo style lights are really that much better...

MORE PICS PLEASE!!!

Recent mods
-rear diffusers
-Painted the vinyl side of the roll bar red
-New convertible top from German Tops in Cali ($275) installed it myself (spent $20 for adhesive and my time (which is worth millions if you convert it to Zimbabwe currency :P)
-Custom seat covers full piping (just wished I would of gone for the red piping instead)
-Slowly converting my interior to all black w/ aluminum trims (I have a grey interior w/ aluminum trims at the moment)
-Painted my ignition trim red...will look really sharp with a black dash. In racing, and against a fighting bull...red means "Go."
-Added some decals to my rims as well. Just on one spoke, and it is a titanium silver that we carry. I like it, it's extremely subtle way to accent the rims.

Future mods
