The Boxster is hott. Good luck trying to clear out your 92-94 tails. I think those tails are the cleanest ones too, but like you said the orange has to go. If your project clearing out the lights doesn't go well you can always bite the bullet and buy these: Red and clear tails. $800 is expensive, but they do look sweet. Good luck.

This is a really nice DIY. I like it. This is definetly something I might want to try out later on in the future. I like the little safety number thing you have under your rear bumper.

I think it's illegal to not have clear reverse lights or reverse lights that are any color other than white, but it looks AWESOME like that and I doubt you'd get ticketed for it! Go for it!!

I applied the sticker to the reverse lights but it looks the same with or without the sticker applied, I think that the orange on the tail lights show through alittle so the color is different. I also applied it to my side markers, here are some pics.




I'll keep you guys posted on my real clears...$800.00 that's crazy, if my real one's come out it should cost less than $100.00...If it comes out I will definitely do a DIY.

not feeling the sidemarkers so much, but the tailights are still very hot. Perhaps u could apply another layer of the sticker to the taillights to make them even darker, and have less orange appear through. btw can wait to see your clears ^_^

Looks great for a DIY.

That's a whole lot of bang for the buck. I was thinking of getting new tail lights, but this might
be the better bet. The silver/white gives the car a sort of Robocop look, judgeing from the
pictures. Very cool.
