How do you spell ? A Civic, maybe. Jeph's Porsche? Oh Hell no.

Hey, I think it looks pretty good. And no ricer is gonna shell out $500 for a hamann gas lid either. Most cars are comming stock like that now adays. Reminds me of the old AC cobras and vettes.

I don't like the boy-racer fuel door. I'm all about subtle improvements. That kinda thing works on muscle-ish cars, but not the svelte lines of the Boxster (in my opinion).

Grizzly, it's funny you should mention lowering it. The past week I've been contemplating it. After staring at my artist rendition for a while -which is a lowered version, it looks like my car has got a lift kit.



I've even gone as far as to price it out. The guys at RUF Auto Centre will do it for $660 (labor) $140 (alignment) + the cost of springs. RUF springs are $500. I could go Gemballa for $400, or Eibach for $250-300. I'd like to get RUF springs, but I don't want to spend $1300+ on lowing the car. I still have more shopping around for lowering costs. But I do want to lower it now.

The Carerra Lights, '02 front end, silver hood badge, and lowered. The package will be complete.

My S is already so low that it scrapes when I pull into the garage, and I know from experience that the front spoiler is lower than the top of a dead skunk. I can't see lowering it any more than that...am I missing something?

Fenders, bumper, & hood painted.


^ Looks like they got my lift kit installed.


^ Just behind that glass fortress, multple parts for the car are incubating to perfection. You can barely see the bumper.

Just a few days to go...
