Wingnut2u, although both versions look spectacular, I like the original look better without the black hood wrap...very clean!

You are correct, I was hoping to have my wheels ready by then but things happened. Anyway here is a crappy cell phone shot of what it should have looked liked at the Palooza. Ignore the lovely cars in the background
I still can't believe I didn't win best Boxster...lol

I agree the wrap will not be for everyone, it only cost me $100 to put it on, so I really consider this to be a test run as I can always just peel it off.

JD you are correct the RUF bumper came with all of its own ducting but I am pretty sure that it used the factory undertray as I do not have a spare laying around my garage from the original install

I think your hood would look nice if you used a single stripe down the middle like the 4.0 GT3.
It ends neatly at the hood crest. Maybe with a little white on the stripe edge.

I like the black hood with red, more than I thought I would. If anything grabs my eye it's the radiators peeking out the huge vents. I'd shoot therm black to diminish the draw of your eye. otherwise, It's a cool car that I'm sure gets a lot of attention, nice job.

It includes an undertray. The entire assembly (bumper, 3x ducts, and undertray) is actually quite heavy. I have pictures of the whole thing spread out in front of my car somewhere. I'll see if I can dig them up.
The aftermarket knockoff RUF fiberglass unit I had prior was about 1/4 the weight, but I was worried about it cracking on a speedbump.

Thanks for the compliments!
@Perfect, I am with you on the stripe and that will probably be my next experiment with the graphics on the car
