New (to me) Boxster S
 
I just bought a very nice S from a VW dealer. 1st Boxster for me but I have had a couple of 911. I really like the Boxster for it agility vs the 911.

Nice looking ride!
Call me demented, but I have a thing for those black turbo twist wheels.

That roll bar overlay looks real good. I'm not a big fan of yellow, but this
looks so clean I can't help but to like it :cheers:

I feel so dirty because I love them.

Different subject, but interesting observation on 911s. I've driven 911's extensively on track and thought they were the bomb until I had a chance to really wring-out a Cayman S.

Wow. No comparison.

Car looks really good. Love the roll bars and rear bumper warts matching the exterior. Very clean looking.

The script is missing at the rear deck lid? Rear end damage?
Mine is the same color/age !

achillies 05-12-2016 08:43 AM

No, I removed it to see if I liked it. Decided to put a black boxster and a red s back on

professorman 05-12-2016 12:09 PM

Your car is beautiful. Congratulations. I love the yellow.

The 'Boxster logo delete' was actually a no cost option on my window sticker...

Thanks for all the nice comments. Here is the back with the black boxster script with a red s.

Also, the bumperettes were a DIY for under $50 bucks

Two-thumbs up for the Boxster S logo. Looks good!:cheers:

Even the license plate blends!

Like the painted bumperettes. What was your DIY method?

Myoung73 05-13-2016 10:34 AM

Very nice. And I love the red S. Have to say I really like yellow in these cars. I remember last year when I was waiting to pick up my car after buying it I saw a yellow one pass by on the other side of a secondary road. Looked awesome. Congrats.

achillies 05-13-2016 10:56 AM

Posted a DIY to paint the bumper guards in the DIY section.

grc0456 05-13-2016 11:18 AM

Nice, thanks. I may give it a whirl this summer.

paulofto 05-14-2016 10:02 AM

I love the painted bumper warts. I did mine last fall. Automotivetouchup.com

Looks great on both of your cars. My car is dark blue, so the black bumpers don't look too bad - but still my do it.
