Well here is something new...
 

Not sure what to make of this...

back is trying to look like a c4s, and the tail pipe is just :eek: :eek: :eek: :barf: :barf: :barf:

looks like he's trying to go for the Carrera C4S look... :rolleyes:


edit: whoa, almost JINX to "Blackboxster"... right after I submitted my message, saw that you'd beat me to it by a few seconds... ;)

This has been posted once a while ago. Very odd to me. I like how they got 911 tips and put them on the box, lol... :rolleyes:

We all just rolled our eyes at the same time without knowing it... its unanimous.

OMG :barf: :barf: :barf: :barf: :barf:

too funny though...I saw the C4 thing I just had to post it as I have not seen this before.

Call me crazy but I kinda dig the red on the spoiler.

Well, at least I like the rear bumper.

the red did not bother me so much either...it was the
silver in the tails and the pipes that got me.

i love that look.
i remember i saw that long time ago and photoshopped it on my car, and well....i dont have that new style spoiler and bumper, among other things that that car has, but i LOVE THE WAY IT LOOKS.

no no no on those pipes

Glad I wasnt the first to say I love it!! But really do!!!

That was Paul's second Boxster, a 2003.

I hope the owner did some serious performance modifications otherwise the aesthetics make the car look alot more powerful than it really is.

I keep coming back to this thread and every time I look at it I like the C4S look even more.

What would it take to do that to my car? Just paint the spoiler and lights im guessing right?

Looks like the newer 986 bumper, also the euro version, the newer style spoiler. rear diffusers, a muffler shop and 2 carrera exhaust tips to be welded to your factory exhaust.

Oh Silver and taillight red paint for the spoiler.

Already have the 03-04 rear bumper, which is also a euro version, which has the newer style spoiler, which includes the diffusers, dont want the exhaust as I already have a Gemaballa exhaust.

So that just leaves some minor paint work I guess.

haha pretty much, oh... speedster emblem

what color should I have it painted. Gaurds red or a darker shade of red?

looks nice but..
1-I'm all for no bumperettes but where's the license plate?!
2-how do those tail lights work if they have been painted red and silver?
3-the tail pipes look a little too custom, almost distracting.

but the red coloring across the back looks good and the humps blend pretty ok.

Trigem, I think a vinyl decal would be mucho cheap and easy compared to painting...
oh ya, whyd you delete me off your myspace... so sad, lol.

I don't think I would paint my tail lights. I will see if a bodyshop can match the red of the existing taillights.

I just really really really like that look. It's mean looking. I think it will match the rest of my bodywork nicely.

Bogg - I would definitely paint it. Its a 150-200 piece of plastic. If I don't like it i wouldnt even have them paint it back, I'd just buy another one. Oh and I didn't delete you, I just deleted my entire myspace account.

Oh yeah, your not on my friends list either, why'd you delete the account?

Just got tired of it. I was on there 2years too long.

Hmm. I don't really like the red stripe thing because it's not flat across the bottom. Also, have you considered what it's going to look like when the spoiler is raised?

I would definitely suggest trying red vinyl tape first. You also are going to want to color match the stripe to the lenses on your tails, rather than just take "guards red" and do it up, I suspect.

I think the red might even look a little better with the older 986 bumper given the straight shape vs the curved shape of the spoiler ends...also adding a little extra to keep the red in line with the bottom of the lights.
Something like the edited example below.http://home.comcast.net/~jmpfleet/back_2.JPG

Here is another picture of Paul's 2003 Boxster. The tail light are painted red and silver. I suggested that he use dual filament bulbs, and I think that is what he did.

He is from Australia and still around, but not in a Boxster.

It really looks like he put some time into that configuration...

What kind of exhaust setup is that? Looks wild

You mean looks expensive... bet it sounds like the smoothest exhaust ever. Its got headers, cats, fabspeed looking mufflers, resonators, and a crossover. Makes me a little wistful looking at it...

so how many people honestly noticed the SPEEDSTER badge?

LOL, I didn't notice it until reading one of the above posts that pointed that out... haha
