I have updated the looks of my car as you can see. I know you might not like it but I definitely do. If you want feel free to express your thoughts.

i'd definitely give you credit for being pretty original. but personally it's not my cup of tea, but at least it's done tastefully and cleanly. nice job.

Thanks for the kind comment, I was expecting something more harsh.. I know it may not be many peoples favorite but it is different and not over the top. I can also easily make it stock again if needed..

What kinda tires do you have, they look really aggressive.

Obviuously you've put this togather well. Personally not my cup of tea either. I would have gone black instead of orange.

Its loud!! you will get plenty of admirers I am sure

Good work

I like everything you have done, but I would say that it isn't my cup of tea either. I would have gone with a color other than orange. The silver and orange just doesn't work for me, but it still looks clean. I like the rims!

Looks like he has Toyo T1-R. Kudos to him for spending $ for nice set of rubber.

Hey man, it's all about what YOU like! By owning these cars we're too often subjected to other peoples opinions. I think for what you were going for it works. Yes, it's a little flashy, but then again, if you don't want to attract attention you shouldn't have a Boxster. Nice job!

Looks good. I would have gone with Silver/red, but that's just me.

Chills · 06-09-2008, 10:31 AM

I like it! Very original and you're not trying to make it into something its not.

Nice work.

Peter Gregg rolled a set of tangerine orange painted Fuchs forged alloys into the Brumos shop one afternoon to put on his brand new, beautiful, black turbo. This was, like 1977 or 78. All of us in the shop started gagging and holding our stomachs, to the point Prince Nitro nearly had an explosion. Rather than be fired or thoroughly ass-chewed, we all shut up......that is until the car was on the ground again. Most everyone was speechless. It may well be the best looking turbo I can remember.

Like someone else said, had you described what you were doing, I would have had a gag reflex, but it turned out quite nice.

Good job on original thought patterns. Too few around these days.

Very nice. Would you mind sharing where you got the graphics done?

kabel · 06-09-2008, 03:09 PM

That's bold baby! I would not go there, but it's all about what you like.

The side "boxster S" graphic does not look like it is placed quite "right" but at least it is the same on both sides. Do they make seat-belts in that color?!
