I like the turbo style front bumper! Perhaps the Porsche 3 spoke wheel with crest could liven it up a bit? I'm no fan of the older 4 spoke wheel myself. Welcome to the board!

Oh, yes on second glance it is a little bit different than a Gt2/turbo front end. My bad.

I've got to agree with Perfectlap - I think interior painted components look tremendous. You could also look at GT style seatbacks painted to match as well. A 3-spoke wheel, upgraded shifter, and aluminum pedals would spice things up.

I added a gold Porsche crest to the center of my four spoke wheel. I think makes a big difference and at $16 U.S. shipped it is much less expensive and much less difficult to install than a three-spoke wheel. You can find them on eBay.

I'm thinking of adding aluminum trim rings to the gauge cluster next.

Here's another option if you like wood trim: http://www.classictrimwtp.com/gallery/boxster_center_console.jpg

Alluminum Interior Bling bits would look

GT3 Rims also look

Check ebay?

PS I Suggest looking at a whole heap of others in "Pics" section or Car Domain for ideas

Here is an example of the painted center console,option aluminuim shift knob & handbrake(the handbrake has "PORSCHE" engraved on it,very nice). I get compliments all the time from passengers, "Whoa blinkwatt! Thats a nice handbrake". Another note though on the shift knob,it weights about 1/3 of the "mushroom" style shift knob.

Do you happen to have the seller's eBay I.D.? I wouldn't mind finding the same one as you,most of them look cheap.

Hi Blinkwatt,
Where did you purchase your handbrake?

The seller's ID is backfromdriving

He charges $10 shipping and $5 handling, but most of the crests appear to sell for $1 so the total cost is low. The piece looks better in "real life" than it does in pictures and I recommend it. It is slightly larger than the embossed crest on the steering wheel.

In answer to the post about the crest flying off in an airbag deployment - I posted that question on several boards. The consensus was that it would stay on, but no one had any experience to report.
