I see...the side marker, right? if it is, been thinking about it for the past few days also to upgrade the headlight and brakelight to make it look like an 03'. Is that consider cheating????? I've seen some in the pelican site...

"Doug and julie = you two are my inspiration ever since I bought the Boxster coz' you guy's came back to it and it must be a really good reason....(been reading a lot of your threads...hehehehehehe!) especially when you found out that you can't take it home the same day...that picture is priceless

As others have already said.

De’Amberification not to be confused with Deforrestation

Here are some shots of my clear 2000....

will the 02 & 03 Headlights, front side marker lights, and tail lights fit into 99 Boxster? All I could see in pelican store is clear lights for 02 & 03 and amber only for 99's

is there any other website that I could check it out beside pelican and eagle day?

Dental floss is the only way. Comes off very clean!

I live near the central valley in the Sierra Mtns, Bass Lake CA.

I didnt heat mine up, the badge is help on by sticky foam, so its slices like butter with the floss.

BL is on the way to Yosemite Valley on HWY41, if your ever over this way PM me, we can meet up somewhere!

BTW, welcome aboard, we need more Boxster owners on r'list
