Hi,

He also lists Tiptronic S Cars to be "1 in 25" (4%) when in reality, Boxster production has been split 50/50 (50%) between the Manual and Tiptronic S transmissions since Production began in 1995...

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99

That's a new ebay policy to try and protect bidders from people seeing them bid on an item and then email them to tell them they are selling a similar product "outside" of eBay for less.

You see the names if you are the seller or if you are bidding on the item yourself.

I don't see what's so bad about the body kit. I like it. It looks much better than that CGT kit we saw a while back.

Dude needs to de-amber the tail lights, though.

From the pictures it looks like a clean job. As for the body kit itself, well beauty is in the eyes of the beholder.

Frankly, I think Djomlas' car looks good -- the only thing it needs is a paint job (black) and some silver speed stripes.

Perhaps something like this:

Thumbs up

RE: "986speedster: "CJ, you making this a personal attack on me? See this is what happens when you voice your opinion. I guess DJ is unable to reply, so other jack@sses have to."
__________________________________________________ _______

...nothing wrong with expressing one's opinion here...as you have just demonstrated...but for the most part DJ's (taste/contributions, like em or not) comments do not appear to be anything but just that, opinions. He's here more than most but its usually just his excitement for driving/owning and of course taking pictures of(lots of pictures of, lol) his ride.

Its not to hard to see that his comment about that bumper cover got under your skin because you chose to buy one even though he clearly did not direct at you.

I for one didn't think it looked all that hideous, but again, to each their own right?

DJ, as others have said below I think you have handled yourself well once again in the face of someone calling you out.

Keep that positive outlook and keep snapping photos!
