What Color? Why?

[WhipE350]

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?

Red with a black "gut" is an excellent combination. I can't stand it when a bold exterior color is combined with a "soft" interior. It makes the vehicle look like a lady's handbag !
Except for Jwades's boxster. That looks good.

Where did you get these rims, I'm not a chrome guy but these are really nice. Does the Porsche center cap/crest fit them?

Guards Red twice over for sure. With beige interior looks best in my eye.

Speed yellow, the Boxster is one of a few cars that can pull it off really well

Plus IMO it looks newer for some reason?
