Another upgrade/mod checked off the list

[Tandrup]

When I got home tonight, my new smoked/clear side markers had arrived. Took 2 minutes to install - wow, what a difference. For $50 that's a pretty significant cosmetic face lift - especially on a Seal Grey Boxster since the color blend in really well. Will post some pics tomorrow when there is enough light to take a photo.

Right now I am trying to pick out some grey and black leather so that I can start replacing carpet and vinyl with leather. My plan right now is to put leather on lower section of the doors, armrests, center console, oddments compartment lid, the side pieces on the center console, the black door handle pieces, the two pillars at the side of the windshield and maybe the carpeted area behind the seats. I am also considering doing the entire dash board. We will see how much I feel like doing once I get going.

Has anyone tried to put leather on the upper door panel - instead of the vinyl or put leather on the carpeted area behind the seats?

Thanks,
Lars

Where do get them? I like these better than clear one.

I got them at pelicanparts.com. Part numbers for a 986:

Right: 996-631-043-02-M44
Left: 996-631-044-02-M44

At $21 a piece (which btw includes the light-bulb) they are a simple mod that changed the look at the car more than I would have thought. And they are real simple to install. Literally took 2 minutes.

Thanks,
Lars
