And the rear spoiler, what does that supposed to be? Uhm...I am sure it cost a lot of money to do all that, but ...lol...37,500? That car looks like a hobby (spending $), not like an investment (earning $). |
Well, for that car does NOT make a case for round Porsche headlights on the Boxster. Yikes. I don't get the fake engine grill on the trunk either.
To each his own I guess... |

Round headlight can look good if done right.

OK, they did it in 1999. That explains some things.
And the headlights are out of an Mercedes E-Class. That's why they needed a kind of angle and the too long front fenders – which are made out of metal. Much effort, but i have to admit i don't like it. Especially because it's not a modern interpretation, but has too much fake elements to get it looking kind of old. |

No joke here. This one looks good, esp for the price. If I didn't have my 09 for sale, I'd prob be heading to Dallas to look / buy.

Love those wheels but would not want the TIP in this car. |
That interior is definitely black. Maybe an SE special order? Porsche will do just about anything for the right $$$.

Black or maybe it was charcoal gray was an alternate interior color option for the SE's, my neighbor had one. I believe it also had a black top but he only had it from 2004 to about 2007 and my memory is a bit fuzzy on that.
Here is a very clean low mileage, one owner 99 Boxster for sale in NJ. $20 k seems quite high but I hope he does well on the sale. Maybe PCA classifieds or an auction is a better place for him to get a good price. |

The headlights are mercedes e class, and the fenders are 100% metal. There are many small custom touches, like no third brake light, genuine 550 spyder grab handle, and more I can’t reme offhand. I agree the retro theme went overboard as rear grilles, headlight stone guards, James Dean there (:rolleyes:) and taillight covers are a bit much. However, you must remember this car was built when the 986 was a couple years old and a common complaint were the “fried egg headlights”. This is the car that got me into Boxster. Coincidentally, my own Boxster is Artic Silver |
Anyone into off-roading? Maybe the guys on Road Kill would like it - they seem to have a desert fetish.

Just because you can, doesn't mean you should.
