My Boxster is definitely not an untouched and clean example, so I would say here:
To each their own.
Here, the best I could do in 5 mins:
My father and I built that car.

The headlights are mercedes e class, and the fenders are 100% metal. There are many small custom touches, like no third brake light, genuine 550 spyder grab handle, and more I can’t reme offhand.

I agree the retro theme went overboard as rear grilles, headlight stone guards, James Dean there () and taillight covers are a bit much.

However, you must remember this car was built when the 986 was a couple years old and a common complaint were the “fried egg headlights”.

This is the car that got me into Boxster. Coincidentally, my own Boxster is Artic Silver
