Nice!! Q, good looking car.

Thanks. This car was a long time in the making and a lot of hard work that paid off.

^All you need to do now is ditch that license plate on the front and you'll be all set.

Sweet car. Who's 928 is that in the background?

Red with Black interior

The 928 belongs to the guy who lives across the street. That car is spotless. The car still looks like it is fresh from the dealer. I just hope I can keep my car looking that good for so long.

(Adam, I took a picture without the front plate just for you. Its still on the camera though)

"Bugly" Blue?
 

Cruising this weekend, we came across what (in our opinion) was the worst Boxster color seen so far - the best way to describe it was to imagine a white car that someone had colored with a blue highlighter - kind of like speed yellow, but in baby blue instead. Both my passenger and I simultaneously blurted out "UUUUggghhhllleeee!" when we saw it coming towards us. A real head turner (and stomach too)! :barf:

Any idea what the official name of this color is?

Can't be blue turquise, that is a gorgeous color (medium blue, non-metallic) offered only in 97. Sounds like Riviera Blue?

It did appear to be non-metallic... but we may have missed any metallic effects in the overall "glow" of the color...

If you have a copy of PORSCHE PANORAMA, the color of the "PANORAMA" in the cover text (at least on the latest issue) is very close to what I remember this car being painted... which might be considered "Turquoise"?

Black on Boxster Red. I'll shamelessly X-attach my pic again in this thread. :) I've been seeking this color combo for over a year now since I saw one sitting in the Porsche Service center lot.

Craig,
dont the clear headlights have a amber panel in them? how did u remove that? "...clear headlites with the amber center removed....Both have had the Silvervision bulbs added, made by me." I know how to find those bulbs but not sure how u removed the amber center??

I thought someone here might be interested to know that there is a Boxster S motor and 6 speed trans with all the wires and accessories for sale on ebay RIGHT NOW !
The auction started last night and runs until the 22nd.
The ebay item number is 7916666299

Supposedly it came out of a black car !!

why do i get the feeling that you are the guy selling it? :D

I've got connections in the Porsche engineering department. They all tell me that scientific tests confirm black is the fastest color. :D

BTW, black w/ red interior is awesome. Although the Porsche red interior is a little too bright. If they darken it up I'd be all over it.

Where is Arena Red?
 

Where is Arena Red? (burgundy)

Triple Black for me - easy choice, as all my other cars have been black with black interior.

Triple Black :)

White
 

Biarritz White w/ black / black.
Biarritz was discontinued after '01 in favor of the brighter 'carrera' whte...I actually prefer the softer shade of mine...but then, they all look good.

Orient Red Metallic with matching hard top

Tan interior

Love my Boxster...

arctic silver w/ metropol blue seats & top

Mine is Arctic Silver. I was thinking of yellow (same as the MG I had previously), but was advised if I can to sell the car, it would be worth quite a bit less than silver as - so the dealer told me - silver is the most desirable colour.

I actually wanted a black Boxster S - but getting a used one with the spec I was after proved impossible - they seem quite rare in the UK, probably because whoever buys them in the first place doesn't want to sell!!

My daily driver (and stress therapy) is a 1998 Basic model Black on Savannah interiors and 18" Sport Design wheels with matching black center and Kenwood audio system.

Love it! Wouldn't trade it for anything else, even with it's 93,000 miles on it!

Come and Vote Again
 

I added the official color designations to the original poll. I put Dark Olive and Dark Teal as their own poll options.

Let's refresh the poll and vote again!

white, but not carrera white
 

mine's the older Biarritz white...a little softer / creamier than the current carrera white.
black top / interior.

I luckily found mine in my favorite Porsche color... Forest Green Metallic. :D
Here are some crappy dealership shots...

Meridian
 

Meridian and black.

I love what they did with this rendition of gray. Car is coming this week, can't wait!

Color
 

My 98 is Ocean Blue Metallic

Speed Yellow
 

Have owned this 2000 S for just over 1 month.
Drive it every day.
What can I say but "FANTASTIC"

I saw a silver boxster for sale on Ebay a few months back that had a burnt orange interior in it. Has anyone else seen this, I thought it looked cool.

BTW, This forum is awesome, cant wait until I get a boxster (I drive a 914 currently).

Chase
