Self Ingratiating Photos of My Boxster
 
I have made several changes to the Boxster in the last couple months putting it back to what it looked like when I bought it 15 years ago. Simple things like taillights and the stereo. I had photos when I listed it for sale a couple years back, but nothing recently. So, today was cloudy enough to warrant some new photos.....

Absolutely beautiful....I'm very impressed!


P.S. And the photography is pretty good, too.

That is one fantastic looking car

Smallblock454 04-09-2016 03:25 PM

Hm, you should put 3 things on the todo list to get back to OEM:
1. Steering wheel.
2. Orange indicators in headlights. :D
3. Rear arm rest on center console.

Regards from the 100% original 986S guy ;)

Something about that shifter doesn't look right.
You should probably send it to me. You know, for uh... inspection.

Lapister 04-09-2016 04:07 PM

Looking great Chuck! Hey are those 18 inch wheels?

grc0456 04-09-2016 04:30 PM

Yours is one beautiful 986, Chuck!

I especially like those amber sides ;)

Gary :cheers:

Your car looks great with mods and without. You are trying to get back to stock but I guess there a couple of things you've chose not to address. Besides list above it looks like exhaust is aftermarket (looks great BTW). Was red console original on your car? I didn't get my car until 2008 so I really don't know what options were for the console back in the day.

Your wheels are my favorite style by far.

Hey Chuck, you still look that good after 15 years?

Great looking car.

Meir 04-09-2016 10:20 PM

chuck. did you ended up selling your double din head unit?

Retroman1969 04-10-2016 04:12 AM

That is a really fine example of a 986! You should be proud.

Chuck W. 04-10-2016 06:30 AM

Thanks for the kind words. It is a passion I enjoy.

I did. A fellow board member got it and installed it.

itsnotanova 04-10-2016 05:56 PM

Beautiful but I see one big problem with it. It doesn't have enough miles on it:D

BIGJake111 04-10-2016 06:53 PM

I love those rims with the Red and PSE! A lovely combo on the car.
