So I stopped by and looked at it today. The paint's not very pretty up close--I think he should've gone metallic.
I took these with proper white balance settings and didn't touch them at all other than to resize them. Not much different from the other pictures, but I have two interior shots showing the door handle bezels in green, the gauges in yellow and the Thick Sport Steering Wheel.
Sorry for the weak photography--they unfortunately wouldn't unlock it so I could get good shots of the interior.

Nice job Eslai !
Yeah, that paint doesn't look good now, and I don't think it's going to age/get dirty well either. Pretty much of a ************************ abomination, all around.
I saw that this one also made the board at Rennteam and PPBB today. I'm assuming that the new owner isn't aware that his pride and joy is providing amusement to other Boxster owners the world over. (If someone posts a "Here's pics of my new green Boxster" thread, we may have to do some furious backpedaling).
BTW, I enjoyed your Solstice comment on Farago's site.

Haha you saw that comment eh? Seriously, the Solstice has buck teeth, I don't know why none of the journalists out there ever mention that!
The one thing I can say about the Rolex boxster is that I do think the yellow calipers match pretty well. Just would've chosen a different green--this one isn't quite forest, and it's got a weird washed-out overtone to it. With the paint having absolutely no depth, it reminds me of like... well, a TJ paint job, frankly.

A damn good price considering the kit, if you can live with the color.
That's:

$3,000 a month
$5.65 a mile

And there's no way they will sell it for $55,900. I bet if they sell it, it goes for less than 50k, possibly as low as 45k. I SURE hope they got some kind of non-refundable deposit on that thing - wow.

How much would a quality paint job cost to change the color?
