Yea, those are sweet. Now you guys have me wanting to take my Boxster emblem off!!

Thumper 11-16-2006 08:33 AM

Shaving the emblem sure makes cleaning and waxing a bit easier too.

Man thats cold, lol. I have to tell you though I can get away with wearing my underware on the outside of my pants and nobody would say anything to me. "Thanks daddy" no big deal.

djomlas 11-16-2006 10:05 AM

yea, the 550 route woulda cost u 5 bux.

but looks nice this way too, man i miss red cars

Thumper 11-16-2006 10:59 AM

I got my 550 taillights off of eBay for $159, but now I see that Suncoast has them for $249.95. I got mine when no one wanted them.

Dang, i couldnt get away with that, Do you think you can step it up a notch and get away with wearing dirty underwear inside out and backwards?..,

I think I would probably laugh :D ......... then realize how big you are and the smile quickly turns into a :confused:

djomlas 11-16-2006 02:11 PM

[QUOTE=ohioboxster]I know, it may snow but thats ok I will still be there! You know I took another board member for a ride the other day. I was hoping he would post his comments but I think he must be really busy. Meanwhile to help pass time I put this graphic on my windstop.

Comments form the passenger seat:

OMG!!!!

Seriously, Matt was kind enough to take me for a jaunt down I-77 and show me his handy work. If I have to say it in one word it would be Frickin'-Awesome!!!!! When that supercharger kicks in it is one sweet feeling. Really nice acceleration. It has just the right amount of get up and go to make the car near perfect. I am reasonably sure that the car is pushing well in excess of 250 hp. I was thinking how the one thing that my Boxster lacked on the track was a little more OOOMPH coming out of the turns and that supercharger would sure cure that problem. I think that with an upgraded ecu and opening of the intake and exhaust system that Matt's car would be the ideal Boxster. And the sound of that supercharger is pretty sweet too. Guess I am going to have to start looking for a way to add some additional power to my car. Thanks a lot Matt-your gonna cost me some serious $$$$ keepin up with the Jone's hah-ha!

Agreed. If mine were red, I would do the exact same thing... It looks great.
I bet that looks great on black too.

man those are nice, i like how the red part follors the spoiler nicely, and smoked part goes well with the conv. top

ohioboxster 11-18-2006 11:08 AM

Thanks,
My only complaint is that I had to omit the 4th bulb on the bottom its the real small one. The lighs didnt have a hole for hat little bulb and I didnt feel like drilling one.

djomlas 11-18-2006 11:11 AM

so dos that bulb still ight up, or did u just take the bulb out?
also, did any lights light up on the dash if u took it out?

Looks great, OhioBox! But...hey...you look a little different in those pictures. Did you eat some funky rotisserie chicken lately or something?!? :D
