here she is, all 52,000 miles of her, the S

well, drove her home today, and she is resting in our warm garage after her long trip. She treated me well and i have a lot of buttons to learn since we met. These german bitches are a little different than the asian ones, and it will take a little bit of getting used to.
She's a 2002 boxster s 6 speed with psm, 18" sport rims and zenon (i think) headlights. Brakes and tires are new (thank god)

My uncle calls her "Blondie"

From the color of the lighting, it doesn't appear that they are xenon, but if they are not in fact xenon, some silverstar bulbs can brighten them up.

Rich, check the front luggage cover... should be a sticker in there with the option codes (mcodes):

That'll tell you what it came with from the factory...

gm, i looked for the sticker and couldn't find it. Who knows, someone prob took it off for some reason.

I took the car out at night for a ride, and the lights are plenty bright. i couldn't wait until tomorrow to drive it anyway.

thanks all

Nice. I like that color. I'd look into getting the holes filled when you remove the spoiler.

I would leave the spoiler alone if there are holes that would need to be filled and painted..

You could get some color matched bumper plugs for the front license plate holes (looks like it has holes...hard to see.)

Needs a bath!

Nice. Even the color is good. some cars can get away with yellow, that's one of them.

And loose the Supra jr. thing on the tail. Not nice.

Nice!! Gotta agree with everyone else though, ditch the spoiler and clear the headlights. As for the holes in the trunk find someone you know who is in the body work business and have them fill, smooth and paint over the holes. Shouldn't be able to even tell the car ever had a spoiler

Mmmm... that's odd... If the owner was a PCA member, he would have known better...

It's stuck right on the paint, so you should at least see the remnants of it...
