...How's the short shifter treating you, BTW? I have the standard one; occasionally, the shift from 2nd to 3rd does seem somewhat lengthy when briskly rowing through the transmission.

Thanks for the posts and your insight.......when I was specifying my options back in December I was not so sure about the red taillights.
I think that and the short shifter will go on my Tequipment shopping list for early next year.

Thoroughly recommend retrofitting the short shift - unlike most tequipment options it is not significantly more expensive than factory fitted (here in the UK Pounds380 v. Pounds420). Having had the standard shift I can assure you that the short shift is a very real improvement in terms of precision over the standard shift. You'll not regret it!

Hi VinceSF, except as rear side markers, I haven't seen red as a front indicator color on any car. In most cases, red is used as the color for "stop;" If used in any other setting, some drivers who already are challenged by the simple act of driving between two dotted lines may then be completely overwhelmed.
If you really wanted, then I suppose you could take some clear markers and have them coated candy red with an orange bulb inside. Though, I wonder if bored patrol cars may use them as an excuse to pull you over and cite you with a fix it ticket. The cost of the ticket probably wouldn't be an issue, but the time spent on the curbside and at the civic center could get annoying. ...Better to see cops fighting crime or eating a donut than in your rearview mirror!
A mild smoke tint may look nice on your Boxster. Anybody sell that shade of indicator cover??

Vince just as an FYI if you were pulled over for a problem for a side marker it would only be a fix-it ticket. Just keep the original side markers, pop those back in and go get the ticket signed off. If your in the City you could go by any district station and get that done. More significantly, if you are in the City I can assure you the cops there do not care the least what color your side markers are.

Hmm, interesting haven't heard about this and I work with the SF cops daily in my job. Let me do some digging and see what I can find out about this. Easy temporary fix is use 7th, moves much better then 9th anyway.
