I can imagine what attention a Yellow car with the driver wearing purple underwear must glean.. Black is beautiful for a full 20 minutes after detailing but then the dust settles......

I don't wear purple underwear . In fact, I don't wear any underwear at all . Its my foes that wear purple underwear . Besides, this leather jumpsuit is hot enough !

Can I safely assume you also have heated seats for winter motoring? Why did you assume I meant you when I referred to Yallar and purple???? Does Yallar attract the fuzz like Guards Red? Can you hear the sound of silence????

Basalt Black Metallic, LOVE it when clean and polished, but that doesn't last long in Oregon. Good thing it's not a daily driver, I'd have to wash it every other day.

Seal Grey, because I like the color and found it for a steal.

I was looking for a dark green Boxster with tan interior but found an Ocean blue with tan interior. I really like it.

Johnny, Yellow is such a classic Boxster color! First time I saw your car on the forum I thought it was sweet...still looks awesome...even coming from a golden gloves guy.
Jwade, what options did you ad? I see 4 things I want to add to mine (or wanted on it) but it will really add to the cost of my car...if I could have found one with the options it would have been great but they are hard to find. Beige, clear rear lights, 18s, and that nice exhaust. I did the red bumperettes. What a perfect combo you have.

Another nice thing about Platinum Silver on a 2011 is that the body color automatically matches* the roll bars and side engine air intakes if you like the look. For other colors it is an extra cost option.
*If it is not an exact match, it is so close I really can't tell the difference. Pretty close the the color of the rims as well.

Thanks Whip! The car originally had the 18" wheels, litronics, full leather and a few other nice options.
I added the Eisenman PSE (actually found in Oregan sitting new in someones garage boxed up), the clear tail lights and front markers I got from Suncoast (easy to install and really make the car) and bumperettes (Eric @ Bumperplugs did a great job).
You see the other mods I have in my sig. The headers and bypass pipes are a must and the RoW suspension is perfect for my needs...If I had to add anything else, it would be the IPD Plenum w/ 74mm throttle body and a Softronic re-flash. I'm waiting to hear what another forum member posts up about his recent purchase...
That's about all I can do at this time but if I came into a large amount of throw away cash, I would take it to RUF for a complete serial # conversion....but honestly the car is just right now and I think I'd rather have fun with it...30k+ is a little steep, but would most likely make it collectible as not many exist.

Guards Red - because it's my favorite car color. Eye catching I guess...
Black Interior - for contrast and wear & tear reasons.
Chrome Rims - because my wife told me too... seriously....she really did...and I did what she told me too...best advice I ever took...who knew chrome rims were an aphrodisiac for women?
