I saw a black Cayenne Turbo in some magazine with the grills painted white. That thing looked AWESOME.

When people risk their lives, shouldn't it be for something very important?
Well, it better be.
But what is so important about driving faster than anyone else?
Lots of people go through life doing things badly. Racing's important to men who do it well.
When you're racing, it's life. Anything that happens before or after is just waiting.

Mine have greyed so badly they almost look silver. I think it'd look pretty good but if I was gonna paint them I'd do black.

You have to remove the bumper cover to get them out don't you?

Remember those kids in junior high that had to wear "head gear" to correct overbite or underbite problems?

Sorry, but the pictures remind me of that poor kid who got teased so much... I gotta say that if Boxsters had feelings, yours would be feeling very much like a social outcast—a geeky kid forced to wear "head gear" to school!

On the other hand, it is a very nice looking setup and I can see how bikers would love to have this car AND a way to get their bike to a trail.

I don't know, I personally think the RTS on my Boxster looks way better than a SUV with a bike racked on top of it. I always wonder how the heck you can hike a bike that high up and attach it without a ladder. The RTS makes it a breeze AND looks better than any SUV roof rack I know of... :dance:
