Looks great! Now make sure nothing happens to your baby.

Looks great! Now you have to get out your soldering iron and hack that yellow lense out of there.

Nah, i like the little bit of amber in there, as you can tell by now, to admire the 2003 factory look over a highly modded boxster front end. Ill try to get the 2003 bumper in the near future.

Sheit, i know, Hopefully nothing happens to the car. Im getting a clear bra installed sometime in the next couple weeks which will be great!

rick3000 · 11-16-2007, 11:16 AM

Dude if that's the case keep an eye out on eBay. There is a seller under the name 'eurowheelsusa' or something similar to that. They sell the same wheels as Wheel Dynamics except $200 less + colored center caps. They also provide good customer service,that's a plus.

blinkwatt · 11-16-2007, 12:16 PM

Yo Cj here you go

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/18-PORSCHE-CARRERA-WHEELS-911-944-928-BOXSTER-RIMS_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ43959QQihZ005QQite mZ150182875615QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWDVW

Send them an offer of $800,they will take it. It's only $925 for wheels,caps + shipping(w/ insurance).

Wheel Dynamics charges $1050 for wheels w/ cheap caps,$100 to ship + $100 tax....

CJ_Boxster · 11-16-2007, 11:45 AM

They were stolen so these were free because of insurance.

You owe that thief a drink, because if he hadnt prompted you by nicking your lights you'd still have the before picture.

And not the lovely result you have now.

That colour really is so beautiful under the sun, Lapis Blue??

my dads old 01 Carrera 4 was that colour, spectacular.

*note to self: don't spend too much time @ work

holy crap..i'm missing a lot

dude, that looks really good. It made the car look newer and yes to what Bambino said..you owe the thief a drink

yah, dude..go for the lightweight style, it looks good on it. I remember when blink and I went to boxster gathering, there's only 2 of us who has that wheels in the crowd

blink, pm me if you got new wheels already...wanna see, wanna see...hehehehehe!

husker boxster · 11-17-2007, 06:27 AM

Don't know if I'd be inviting the theif back for a drink yet. As someone said in your other post about the headlites being stolen, are you doing anything to prevent a repeat performance? Your perp knows you can't be driving without headlights, so if he needs another pair he knows where to get them. He'll hit the jackpot this time. Found a garage yet?

Sorry to rain on the love fest, but it's important to remember how we got here in the first place.

super66 · 11-17-2007, 07:00 AM

CJ - looks great.....that car is screaming for some rims! Ipersonally would go with the light weights....

Yah and after im drunk they will probably steal my car LOL but i know what you mean, i ended up way better off. Plus it pays to have a low deductible, i may just pay the extra 20 bucks a month to get a $0 deductible.

Yeah under the sun the color is great, Its Ocean Blue. Lapis looks alot like Ocean except from certain angles, Ocean will look purple on certain panels depending on the angle as where Lapis will always look blue from any angle.

I did end up changing my mind from Lightweights into Turbo II's now. They look hot, Ill probably end up painting them before installing them... maybe paint my calipers Yellow and the wheels charcole or the same color as the wheels on the 550 Special Edition 986 Boxsters. That would look nice.
