Sometimes it is the little things - $50 part makes me smile.

I received and installed my rear fog a couple of weeks ago. It was the final touch to the euro rear bumper conversion on my 77. I had the car parked outside yesterday due to some electrical work being done in the garage. Everytime I looked at it it made me smile.

Sometimes it is just the little things.





I was also surprised how much deeper the guards red is on the 77 911 compared to the 13 boxster. It was the first time the cars were parked next to each other. I expected the exact opposite.

rear fog

Hi Scott,

I hear ya! I installed mine a few months back and until now I haven't had the time to go under the rear driver side fender and find the mystery wire (if I have it) that is pre-wired for the rear fogs. I intend to make the fogs front and back work together without the headlights on just the park light. Maybe in a few weeks I can work on it after I ditch the duck and put on an early carrera tail (paint ongoing)

Several years ago I bought new fog light lenses for the front of my SC. Probably aftermarket as they were $25-ish per. But they weren't a pitted haze and looked identical to stock.

Worked with my 18 year old son who repainted the housing body.

Came out really nice and he knew that they did. Just one of those moments......

I replaced my fogged, pitted, chipped H5 headlights with a really nice pair of H4s with chrome trim. I can't stop staring at the front of my car, either -- great feeling! - Matt
