wow that is a lot of money

Porsche would not just add this for the sake of looks, for the simple reason that is an extra complexity in the mold tool of the bumper, thus increasing manufacturing costs. If that diffuser was not there....would you not buy a boxster......Of course you would so its not just a styling tool to make you buy it.

i think that they actually may add it for the looks to hide the exhaust and even things out a little in the back, i dunno....even if it doesnt do anything it looks nice

how much is a new windshield anyways?

what exact sandpaper did you use and steps if you dont mind

ouch man, i bet u knew it was gonn happen too deep down inside you as soon as u brought it into the car ha?

if you want to use it as a daily trough winter (i am as well), get a set of winter tires, if you can locate a hard top for better protection and heat escape and it also has a rear defroster and it will protect your rear window on your soft-top.

its actually a fun car in winter if you got tires for it, its also better to get a set of used 17s to mount winter tires and swap them that way you save money in long run with swapping tires and you can save your summer wheels from salt and winter condition.

check your heating system to make sure everything is working fine and you will be good to go.

and yes if you get one with glass window softtop it will have heated window option

that is a unique color.

mind posting a few pics of it?

heres some more if ud like to see

maybe save weight?

now it reminds me of buick interior...well no bench seats, but u know what i mean

15 or so sounds about right, even less probably

what are u making these out of?

once the headlight is apart, is ther a way to get rid of the orange on the inside of them?

Ben,

There is a way to fix that and it was at Porsche TSB I believe. There is a tension spring (looks like a tiny leaf spring) that forces that lip inside the groove. If yours aren't following the groove, you need to remove and reverse the tension spring. It worked for me!

Do a search, it's been covered before. Good luck!

John

i looked but i couldnt find it somehow, do u by any chance have a link to a tension spring fix?

i did, i sold the car tho

i wanted to powdercoat 2 sets of wheels, bmw and volvo wheels, and when i said gthat i got over thousand responses saying that.

they said from heating them up some strength is lost...to what degree i dont know, but i would want my wheel strength to stay the same. although they do say that some cracking may occur but that would be the worst case scenario. i talked to the guy that was gonna powdercoat my wheels, and he said that some strength would be lost, but you never to the point where you would experience the change in strength of the wheels.

so its a 50/50, but i would just paint them.

btw, i ended up painting the wheels black.

heres a few quick pics, came out great and held up very nicely, i used the rustolium high temp paint

i wouldnt powdercoat them, the strength goes down.

and yes, make sure you be careful when disassembling/assembling the wheels, with torquing the bolts, those are meant to be taken off and on, but not the best quality. jsut be careful.

once the centers are take off, i dont see y you would want to take them to professional, its very nice diy kida project, scuff,paint,clear kinda thing

good luck, and post up with your results if u get a chance

u can, u cal also get the difuser separately...check out ebay for cheapest, even painted ones

i have my radar plugged in there, and in tired of plugging it in and out every time i get in/out of the car.

how can i make it only have power when the car on, rite now it always has power.

thx

you did a nice job there man, i like the silver with blue

here is mine, i am actually thinking about some white brembo decals instead...that would kinda be a problem if you wanted to do a swap and already clearcoated them :)

they last, had them on my other car for few yrs now, and no clearcoat either.

have them on this car now and they hold up just fine

id rather spend 800 on other things than labor. for that much money u can respray ur bumper or a hood a few times

well thank you for putting that into prospective man..... showoff :)

replaced the cap, i had the old one...solved the problem

mine is not cracked, i do have a old cap tho, so i will be changing that tomorrow and ill see from there
