Id buy the hell out of that thing. 20 grand for an 02 Box S is a great deal. Because of those mods only one person would bid, lol.

Had they actually removed body panels and put custom ones on, it'd be cool, but you can see they just stick parts on top of existing parts.
Like the head lights...I mean, that looks SO CHEAP.
Maybe to the unknowledgable bystander, but to the informed, it looks like crap.

I've been meaning to ask this for a long time now. Are all these plastic stick-ons that I've seen people put on their cars supposed to look like they're (metal) components of a single (metal) body of the car? If that's the goal, I have yet to see a plastic stick-on that achieves it.
Skirts, spoilers, speedster humps, etc. -- it's just always so obvious that they're plastic pieces stuck onto the car, and for some reason that's a turn-off for me. I am aware that there are many that disagree but, as always, just my opinion.

Is that an "aluminum look" trim around the front windshield or a weathered out rubber seal?

I dig the humps and the spoiler... but the headlight covers look like they don't belong... they're above or outside the lines of the car, and look like they don't belong. There were things like that for my previous car (Hyundai Tiburon), and I thought they looked out of place on that car, too.

I kinda like it ( except for the headlight covers ).
I think that car would look pretty sharp in black...

Hey DJ,
How about PhotoShopping stock mirrors and deamberized lights back on, paint it black and change out the wheels for some black or gray SSR Gt3s. I bet it would look smokin'.
I really do like the front bumper and side-skirt design. The skirts especially are nice and clean.

Drop the headlight covers and that thing would look tons better, sorta.
It looks like a Boxster having an allergic reaction to a bee sting or something.
With all that red, I'm surprised he didn't go for the 550 tail lights...

I truly believe that red is the main issue with this ride....

i think the main issue is those ugly speedster humps and headlight covers along w the tails, but otherwise i love how unique it is, it does have a lot of detail rite now, actually too many little details and too much red w no contrast

I am not a frequent poster here.... but I had to add my 2 cents....
I would not touch that car. To my eyes.... it looks like a Liberace Boxster.

Poor Boxster. What did it do to deserve that kind of treatment?

Strosek 986s- NOT an Anziano's 986
I came across this old thread. Just to clarify, this is the Strosek Boxster (Strosek bumpers, skirts, rear valence, side vents, side mirrors). IMO, this 986 Strosek design is not all that appealing as compared with the older Strosek 911 design.
Anziano's is just a distributor, exclusive installer for Strosek Design.

well that explains it, Strosek has never made anything that looks worth a damn. The fenders they used to put on the 911 to give them a tiny headlight was hideous, looks even worse in person. I met a guy at Palooza that had a Strosek Cabriolet 911. It was once owned by none other than Vanilla Ice. Although we only overheard him telling someone else that, I guess he figured us being younger guys would not appreciate it. I'm not sure who would though.

That is one ugly Porsche. The bumper, headlights, and mirrors, eck!
I do like the spoiler, though.
What is up with the lip around the intake vents? It looks like a deformed vagina from the rear-angles.
