is the boxster logo chrome? I think it looks cool how it sticks out back there
Thanks! As for bursting my bubble, not a chance -- all I gotta do is jump in that seat, fire 'er up, and take 'er for a spin, and all worries magically disappear.

As for the clear markers.. guess what the postman delivered today? Unbeatable price from Sunset Imports, $11.32/side. I thought about the painted vents, but they match the "fins" in the front bumper, and I'm not particularly emotional about the painted ones, so I'll probably pass. Colored crests I definitely agree with, would make for a great birthday present come August, just need to find a rich girlfriend.. !

The Boxster logo is not chrome, it appears to be just a gray plastic.

Just snapped these with the new clear side markers, definitely like these over the orange ones!

And yes, these really were taken in Cleveland -- it's not all as ugly as downtown!

Regarding the V1, I'm surprised that mounting it lower would work as well, as I would have thought the rear view would be obstructed. I'm going to be hard-wiring it with a friend in the next week or two, so it will probably end up pretty high so I can hide the wires well. Thanks for the tip though!

I haven't had a go at the cosmoline yet, have a busy weekend ahead of me, but will try to get that gunk off with your suggestions. Thanks again everyone, and for all the compliments on the photos, it's a real pleasure taking pictures of a beautiful car like a Boxster
