Thoughts on doing a GT3RS paint scheme on my 03 Boxster S.... - 986 Forum - The Community for Porsche Boxster & Cayman Owners

I really like the look of the GT3 RS paint scheme. Obviously they look perfectly in place on the GT3 or GT3 RS. I am wondering how this scheme would look on a Boxster. I would love to add either the green accents like this car below or Riviera Blue. I was thinking I would paint the wheels to match, and get the script along the side and possibly the mirrors painted. This will be a track/DE car but also driven on the street on a regular basis. Yay or Nay?

GT3 RS idea....

My car as it stands.....

Yikes!!! I'm not a fan of that scheme on a GT3 or Boxster, but the GT3 can get away with it because it's way out race car sporty. It's kind of like trying to translate a super bold paint scheme on a rice rocket sport bike (it works) to something a little more conservative, like a "sporty" BMW bike (doesn't work). I'm not out in my car trying to attract attention, maybe your objective is different.

Your car looks great now, but if you're going to go with the green wheels and stripe along the side, might as well go all out with a GT3 front facia, aero skirts along the sides and back, and a huge faux carbon fiber fixed wing on the back.

No need to wonder what it will look like. Just saw this in the classifieds:

FS: Boxster S "RS" 2002

Photoshop it electric green.

I agree with gschotland. Your car look great as it is, the only thing I would change would be the amber side markers. However, it is your car and you have to drive it so do what you want to it.

Check out this quick and dirty photoshop job. I don't think it would look any better in black.

I just photo-shopped your car too, check it out, I think it looks best on black if you are to do it.

Not sure on the lettering style so just did a font I liked.
