I am new to the forum and i wasn't sure where this thread should go. However i bought a wrecked boxster s with the intent to rebuild for a daily driver. the damage is on the front fender driver side. I ll need bumper fender radiator various little hoses, and suggetions on bumper. I have been looking at fiberwerks and and duraflex and some others. I want something different than stock but not super wild.

If anyone knows of a good place to buy some used parts in good shape, i am open for suggestions. I will try to post some pictures as soon as the rain stops here. Thank you for your time and any help is appreciated.

 

Of course, it's all personal preference and how much you want to spend. IMO, 997 type front ends (like those from Fiberwerks) do not look right on a Boxster, especially the 986 models. I like the GT3 front bumper but if you want an aftermarket look, the Caractere bumper is kind of nice as well - check out lltek.com for examples.

 

I just bought a Fiberwerks and love it as did 2 of my friends. Excellent product and fit. Just needs paint.

 

ok guys i ll give those bumpers a lookin at. If anyone knows a good salvage yard were i could order some other stuff like the drvr side radiator assembly and other little things like hoses and brackets i would greatly appreciate it.

 

LA Dismantler is one guy I have had good luck with
http://www.ladismantler.com/

 

Here are some pictures of my car. If anyone is has some parts for sale i am interested. I have talked with ladismantler and joe is supposed to be getting me a quote together based on the pics. Trying to hang onto as much of the green paper as i can here is the link to my skydrive album. i am not sure how to upload them to this thread. https://skydrive.live.com/?cid=6697b...EF%21127&sff=1

 

I have been looking for a headlight. Mine are the xenon ones i believe. I looked at some here http://www.autopartswarehouse.com/mm...bly~parts.html

others have the assembly for like 900$. Whats the difference here? they look the same.

 

ok i answered my own question about the headlight. I just realized the cheap ones arent litronic

 

The site doesn't really provide enough info about either one.

 

Is 900 a good price for one litronic headlight assembly? Or should i just wait on ordering the headlight in hopes of an individual selling one cheaper?

 

So, to me, the picture of the Bosch actually appears to be the Litronic (Litronic assemply does not have amber turn signal, it's clear/smoked)...and Bosch the OEM supplier. If that is indeed the case, their price of $386 is a smokin' deal - but you need to confirm with them what they're actually selling. Their site doesn't indicate that either is Litronic. So, I'm skeptical.

I'd expect a part number for Litonic headlight assemblies to be like 996-631-157-07-M14 (left assembly) or 996-631-158-07-M14 (right assembly). I've seen them sell for $1050 per side up to $2695 for the pair (Suncoast Porsche)....MSRP is over $3100 for the pair.

 

I believe the ones i was looking at weren t litronic, so i dug around on e bay for a while and found one for 600. It says brand new unused litronic headlight for 986 porsche, so i bought it
