97 Boxster on 18's, oh no!

Boxster 02, thanks for your comments! As for the lights, this may sound a little crazy but I found a product called VHT Nightshades at my local Advance Auto Parts store. It is an aerosol based product. I masked off the headlights and wet-sanded the amber part of the light with 2000 grit, cleaned with alcohol, and then applied the paint. I only put two coats on mine, as not to create too much of a problem when getting inspections. Once I had the desired tint I clear coated them and polished them out with Maguiars Polish compound. You can still see the turn signals with no difficulty as well! You can search it on youtube and find various posts of people doing this application.

Best of Luck!

Very, very nice! I have an Arctic Silver car but nothing looks better than black!

Can I get a front end shot so I can see the lights better? Also maybe a closeup? Looks really hot and I am almost convinced to do it myself.

Thanks "97 Boxster", I thought about going a little bit darker but I didn't want any problems getting a state inspection. Here is a shot of the front that I already had, I will try to take a couple close-ups this weekend and get them posted.

Paint the rusty lugs

Been done for a while, painted black, I was just so excited the day I got the tires mounted that I had to see what they looked like on the car.
