Ordered new bodykit, how many of you did self install?

thanks again Johnny, I guess it never hurts to ask, but who here is in NorCal and have had a great exp with body shop and body kit install?

Ghost: I didn't think about the centercaps, but I was thinking of painting the centers of aftermarket wheels seal grey to match my car and leaving the polished lip. There is a seller on ebay that sells center caps in gray...it might not be a perfect match, but I have oe centercaps on my other car that is night and day different (wheel is silver, cap is almost raw metal color, I checked ALL of the cars and they are all like that).

These are oem center caps that I picked for cheap . My "paint guy" simply taped up the crests and painted them to match.

Hey, im in the bay area. Not knowing exactly where you are in nor cal, you can try to talk to Sonic Motorsports in Mountain View (ask for Darwin). They do body kits on high end exotics and work very closely with a great paint/body shop.

I installed my factory Aero Kit II myself. I had a friends body shop paint it and I did the labor to install it. I don't think that I'd have the patience to try that again with an aftermarket one as I've have horrible experiences in the past.

Good luck!

Hey Mark, I am in the sacto area. I am pretty much convinced that the body shop will do everything for me. Now it is a matter of finding one worthy of a boxster without ripping me off. thanks for the referral to sonic, i may use them if nobody local is recommended,

btw, ur car is pretty damn awesome!!!

I just received my body kit today and was checking things over...thought I would take a pic of my baby sans body kit.

What do you think, should I leave the wheels silver center or paint center seal grey?

Hi, just wondering where can you buy body kits?
I can't find anything that doesn't look tacky.
