took some real pics, after a wash. now you can actually see something:)

hope you all enjoy the pics.
btw, after alignment, the car feels more stiffer and cornering is improved, and i was surprised that the ride didn't get harsher at all, but BETTER. the springs are thicker than stock ones, and look like better quality as well, and they have those rubber hoses on them as well.

anyways, onto the pics

The leaves really show how low the car is. In most pics, everyone has the car on pavement and the only way you can tell it is lower is how the tire fits in the rear well. With perpective to judge by, the car looks great.

You sniped the springs from me on ebay with about 10 seconds left. I thought I was slick, bidding with 40 seconds and giving myself time to make sure I was logged in, then I refresh it after I was the sure winner and I see DJOMLAS.. I wanted to kill DJOMLAS.

Nice car and nice pix!! You're a talented photographer.

While doing some christmas shopping today at a bookstore, I noticed all the different car calendars, but no Boxster ones. You should make a boxster calendar and sell it online --- I'd buy it!

thats a great idea man, i was actually thinking about that as well.
my other car made it into a calendar once, and that got me thinking, but kinda forgot about it.

DJ your car looks great! What's in store next? Are you planing on adding a body kit or side skirts?

I like your car, the wheels look like they could stand to be a little wider, especially the fronts look a little sunken in the last picture.

Did those wheels bolt on? or did you have to change lug bolts/add spacers?

I'm wheel shopping for my seal gray '02 2.7, don't know what to get...

Great thread! Very nice! I particularly like the look of the car from the front (5th photo).

Any tire rub in the rear? It sure looks like a tight fit.

We open your threads now with high expectations... (so no more blurry oil gauge pictures).

Well once again a job well done DJ! I surprised the ride improved, much less didn't get worse. You have a real talent with the camera, always some of the best pics I see.

Your rear rotors are rusty. Nice job on the car Dj.

I love pic #5. Been looking for weeks to take one of my car in a similar setting but couldn't find an area with lots of color. Now there aren't many leaves left after today's 40mph winds.

You are the master!
