Thanks guys, the color is GENUINE PORSCHE, Porsche quit using the color in 2004, It is called Orient Red by Porsche, as far as the wheels go, I totally agree, I have looked at quite a few, I am considering making the back end more of a "wide body" look, if I do that I would like some really wide rear tires. The best thing I have enjoyed so far is the GT3 style seats, they came out of a metallic blue 2004 996, I had them painted matching Porsche Orient Red. The spoiler and everything came from xtreme motor cars in California, the e-mail is
Jezzsb@aol.com these folks are most helpful and have a great product and good pricing, some of their items can be found on ebay.
I'm still looking at wheels, black with silver trim, chrome, etc. I'm not gonna rush it as the tires I have on now are almost brand new Michelin Pilot Sport.
I wanted to do something with the car since I know it will be long after I'm dead and buried that a 2003 Boxster S will be any kind of a collectors item, that's one reason I chose to put a little time and money into the car.
I wanted something a little different, hence the GT2 front end, etc. I think the main thing is the interior, the car is in great shape 41k miles, original paint except for front bumper, I wanted a look, not trashy, but classy, it seems to have achieved that, I'm happy so far.
