Got them from www.fiberwerks.com. It took me a while to find this spoiler when I was shopping for one. There were a couple other ones I was considering. I think it looks great because it kinda integrate with the contour of the car from the side and rear pretty well, and my OEM rear spoiler still functional when I hit 75 mph.

Never even knew about the Registry. Just saw that hyperlink next to your screen name, good point mate! Will have to check it out.

Looks like your tail lights are LED too, was that a mod too?

[trieullionaire]

Yup, smoked LED tail lights.

Very nice!

What are your rim widths and offsets (good clearance?) and are the silver dash parts tequipment, aftermarket, or did you have them painted?

[trieullionaire]

Many will not believe me when I say this, but the wider tires enhance the overall feel of the drive. My car drives smoother & quieter with the new rims & tires as opposed to factory ones. As far as clearance, all that is needed is 1-2 mm in the wheel well. I used 6mm spacers in the rear plus added longer tire bolts to get a few more threads to bit. Had them now for 4 months now, zero issues.

I took all the parts & sanded it down with 440 grit sandpaper, then washed/ dried it & wiped with a tacky clothe to remove any dust or small debris. I then had my brother primed & painted it. There's a thin layer of primer & metallic paint and 4-5 coats of clear gloss enamel for maximum strength & durability. My brother baked all the parts for 2 sunny days straight to have everything dry to the core. Very labor intensive- for all the parts we did, you're looking at a good 4-5 days (dissemble, prep, paint, cure, reassemble). But with all hard work, you get to enjoy the fruits of your labor afterwards (can't say I speak for my brother, lol)!

Yeah I bought mine from Zomk Speed on Ebay. It's actually pretty affordable, $156.00 I think. So far no problems, I get a lot of people telling me the lights are extremely bright when I step on the brakes. I bought mine because one of my originals had a big crack in it, and so decided to look at some alternatives.

Thats good to know! Thanks!, *puts LED* on list of mods :D

[trieullionaire]

Well my latest mod is actually my bro's carbon fiber faceplate for my nav unit. It's pretty cool actually since it has a 3d effect to it with the texture of the fibers underneath.

Do these come with the leds or do you have to get them separately?

Thanks,

They come with the LEDs. Backup and turn signal bulbs are still standard bulbs.

I am very seriously considering buying these, and was wondering if anyone could post a video of them testing out all of the lights on them, so that I could get a feel for what they look like to decide if they are what I want. I really want it to look as stock as possible, but want LED's.

[sliderr]

can you make a picture of your -Blue L.E.D. instrument gauges ? i am very curious how this looks and where you bought them, very very nice Boxster! compliments!

Did you use any resistors on any of the tail lights? If so, how many ohms and where at?
