Center caps arrived yesterday afternoon and they are going on the car today!
http://i1283.photobucket.com/albums/...psjtkhb4ya.jpg The frosted edges are from putting it in the fridge this morning and then letting it sit on my counter top for a few minutes. One installed on the wheel! 3 more on deck! http://i1283.photobucket.com/albums/...pss8zkck1u.jpg |

Nice, Martin. I've actually saw those red in person and on a pcar for the first time today. Seen the gray and black a few weeks ago, but red was a first for me. Its insane.
*Last Update* Just had lunch with the boyz & kidz today and only received good (above excellent) feedback... mind you we only have 6 sets here. Fairly happy with the results tough... perfect oem fit, snug and tight clamping, dead center of rotation. No complaints, yet. Once again, kudos to effective software! Cool car parts. Take care of them guys. They should be looking exactly as they are now for min the next 10~15years (outdoor and exposed to the elements). Twice longer if you park indoor ;) Lastly, I've really enjoyed doing these with you, fellas. You've offered great support and motivation all along and that community energy was obviously passed back to the final product! On behalf of all of us who got those caps, thank you :cheers: |
Quick cellphone pic; better shots to follow later this week. http://986forum.com/forums/uploads02...1497192209.jpg

Hi Fred,
My file won't upload but you can see the pics of the car here. My Boxster - Album on Imgur Terry |
Kevin, now I see what you meant lolll
Terry, got the link bud thx!! One of yours below, in guards red ;) Those black caps are bad-bad lookin. Good eye man. I'll get mine on as soon as I'm done with refitting my car here.... let me show-off my cheap Dunlops :rolleyes: (how do you guys bloody afford those Michelins all over... crazy stuff) http://986forum.com/forums/uploads02...1497202873.jpg |
I had them all round until last week, I had to go home to Ireland in a hurry and as as a result I put up a good mileage shagging out my rears tyres in the process. I had some Potenzas at home so put them on temporarily, today I discovered a bulge in the wall of one of the fronts, its got loads of "meat" on it so I am peed off! Just checking out the prices of the Michelins online now, bloody cars, always costing money!

Cheap on the tires and buy Made in Japan Dunlop, Terry. I think you can almost shoe X4 your Boxster for the price of one Michelin. Good tire, look & smell similar :o
Edit: sidenote, 1 (one) imported Michelin tire e.g. Pilot here is $600 Was looking at your pics earlier... if you are in shopping mode lately then pick up a new camera or phone also. One you got now can't process reds anymore, they don't show on my monitor here anyway. Unless perhaps you have an exotic custom paint? If factory guard red, then you sure need a new camera - bin-the-old ;) |
Well I washed my car and installed my caps today! They look amazing Fred, thanks!

What are the Dunlops like in the wet? You gotta remember I'm in the UK!!!
I noticed that about the pictures, to be honest I am not one of those who cares too much about these things, my Sony is a fantastic phone ( got 2, 1 for each country) and that is its main purpose. |

Oh man. Looks fantastic! I knew I was write to subscribe to this thread back when it was made and check back later. |
I realized after the fact that I'd managed to shoot a wheel with a couple of small gouges, and my OCD required me to address that. Here's the same image with a little bit of retouching and some added contrast.
