Found a picture for you, even though it looks really washed out.

I actually like the black... but then again (absolutely nothing personal!!!) I have never liked a yellow car, so that's just WAY too much yellow to me.

Also, I would not paint the A pillar section that comes up around the windshield or the rear view mirrors black, because imagine what it will look like when you put the top down. All yellow with just those black would seem funny IMHO.

.
It's washed out because it isn't Speed Yellow. When the Box was first intro'd, one of the std colors was "Pastel Yellow", and I think that's what is in the picture.

Personally, I like the black top.

Yes, if pastel yellow had been the only choice of yellow, I must say I would have been driving a different color Boxster.

Ronzi, I love the color of your Boxster ....

What type/size of rims are you running....they look pretty sweet from what I can tell in your avatar pic.

Not that you're prejudiced about the color or anything, eh?
Pastel Yellow apparently wasn't a big seller as they phased it out after a yr or two, and it hasn't reappeared.

The wheels are an aftermarket Sport Design style wheel, 8x18 and 10x18. I have never been able to establish what brand, but they are a one piece wheel vs the Porsche two (or three?) piece wheels.
