    Im almost feeling guilty bringing 13 years old thread from the grave, but here is the correct answer, Power - Orange/Black Ground - Brown I found this out with multimeter when I hardwired my radar detector.

    Yep, I am using regular LEDs in my 2006 Boxster, surprisingly no error. This is the one I am using and it has built in heat sink

    If there is LED fever, there must be some good reason, and here is the major one. Color Temperature. Most modern cars are coming out with "whiter lighting". I myself replaced all internal bulbs and license plate bulbs with LEDs, the difference is huge. Once you see the difference, there is no going back. I even added Philips LED Daytime running iight, and it turned out to be one of my favorite mods of all time. But some bulbs are not ready for LED just yet, and one of them is parking light. I recommend Polarg M4 to match with your OEM HID rather than LED. If you insist, you can always buy canbus 194 LED bulbs rather than attach external resistor.

    There are many solution for iPad/iPhone mount, but I do not want to attach ugly mount to windshield or glue to my leather dash. So I came up with home grown solution and wanted to post here and share my idea. You can mount iPhone vertically or horizontally. I do not carry iPad, but it looks really good when I put iPad for TomTom app. Just an idea.

    I bought them to replace mine, but I decided not to. I prefer Boxster's silver grills. The Speed Yellow Cayman's grills are collecting dust somewhere in my garage since then. :rolleyes:

    It's been a long time since I posted something here, and I came back home in need of some help. My 2006 Boxster has been very reliable since new, but recently it shows the first issue when the top is closing as shown in the picture(btw, it's not my pic, I found it somewhere on the net). If I stop at service position while closing first, then the top close just fine. Just in time out of warranty. :censored: OK, the first help I can think of ToolPant & Loren, so here I came back home wounded. Help!

    Speedster hump: You cannot not operate top with them on. Too much hassle after a while. My honest advice: Sell. 99 Boxster: Since you already made a deal, no point of asking or answering. Enjoy and post some pictures!

    It would be an easy decision for me. 05 987 for sure. Conventional wisdom says get the newest model you can afford. In fact, 987 is much better car in my experience. In & out. Nearly everything. But some people prefer 986 because of side air vent :rolleyes: , so to each own. (Don't get me wrong. I'd take 986 over any other roaster in the same price range.) If you want to go by 986, get 03 model at least. Window vs Plastic is huge, and other performance & cosmetic upgrades too. Good luck.

    Actually I don't think it looks lame. They match well with the front bumper as Techart style. But I do agree with Chuck dental floss is the best way, if you decided to take them out. :welcome:

    Thanks for the link, very helpful. I'd stick with spray than brush though. So the PCCB doesn't match with SY? Interesting. Maybe picture doesn't tell the whole story.

    I had my previous 986 painted in red with duplicolor, and now want yellow on my current 987 to match with exterior color. The problem is all caliper paint I can find is "bright" yellow, doesn't quite match with speed yellow. Q1. The paint spray from paintscratch.com can be used for caliper? If it's not a good idea, anyone has a picture of speed yellow with the bright yellow caliper? Q2. Which clear coat should I use? Thanks in advance!
  13. jinijazz
    Gee, that's fast. Thanks always!

    Maybe I picked the wrong number. I'm talking about the piece under ebrake.

    #27 from the picture (black). Thanks!

    Anyone found it out yet? I saved Paul's instruction for 996/986 Sport Seat(great instructions BTW), but 997/987 must be a little different with those side airbags and all. This mod is on the top of my wish list.

    Off topic, but for those who are curious; I just bought 986 aluminum guage rings, they don't fit 987. Center ring does, but side ones don't. <_<

    987 Instrument Gauge Removal This is not really DIY instruction, but rather some pictures that might help you to remove the gauge. If you wanted to paint the gauge ring... or this Make sure disconnect the battery and pull the steering wheel all the way out before you do this. So the first step is to remove the panel below (I marked it dark red). I heard you can just pull this out easily for 997 or Cayman, but mine(987) refused to come out. Here are some pictures that show how it fit into the dash. The bottom Author jinijazz Category Boxster/Cayman (987-1) - Accessories Submitted 03/04/2007 02:57 PM

The bottom half is folded Close up (bottom center of the picture above) Close up (right side) You will 2 screws after this piece is out of the way. Just remove them and take the gauge out.

    I really like Duplicolor High Temp Engine paint. (Spray). I've seen some people did nice job with brush, but still didn't look rirght inperson. Big no no to me.
  21. jinijazz
    It's normal and there's no way to keep it turned off. (I hated too) I know MY99 986 did that and I'm pretty sure it's same with 996
  22. jinijazz
    Adding a related question, what about Galvano Silver(all silver interior trims in 987)? Anyon has info? suneet, can you share more info about your navigation unit plan?
  23. jinijazz
    Looks awesome, Congrats! Now consider moving to California, home of convertibles. :welcome:
  24. jinijazz
    OK I should disconnect battery. Someone at dealer told me, for my 987, I have to disconnect AND WAIT at least about an hour before I remove the seats. Is it true???
  25. jinijazz
    Just curious. Are you trying to remove amber or paint inside (matching ext color)?
