Ok I am jealous! :o


Welcome to the forum, very nice ride.

Love your ride! Saw it first on CAR DOMAIN .COM

Does your car have wheel spacers too? Just curious. Looks great! One of my personal favorites. :D

eze5601 04-30-2007 03:36 PM

I was planning to add spacers but decided against it. Based on measurements i would be right on the wheel arch.

I need to lower my car so friggin' bad!


That looks great!!!

I want to lower my car, but I'm afraid that it sits to low as it is. My front end has a lip on it that rubs up against stuff all the time. Like the idiot who designed the high curb that leads into my garage. It's like trying to drive over a speed bump. So I guess until I buy a house, I'm screwed. Sure would make my car look better. Not sure about how well it would handle. It seems to rough for daily driving already as it is. This is the first car I own that I did not lower. :cheers:

eze5601 05-01-2007 07:41 AM

Don't get me started on curbs. It sits relatively low and I even have to worry about bumps on freeways i.e. transitions from road to overpass. I am fortunate that this is not my everyday driver; it would be difficult driving it everyday especially with all the crappy roads in the Bay Area.

It looks great. Are those the genuine RUF body pieces? Mind sharing what you paid...

TriGem2k 05-01-2007 09:46 AM

I think I have EVERYONE on this forum beat on ride height. My GT3 front end with the lip sits EXACTLY 3 inches off the ground. I've replaced the lip 3 times since I installed the bumper...

EZE I feel you on the bumps even on the highway. I've come to learn all the lanes I must aviod on all major highways I use.

why dont you buy the "boomerang". i have one on my boxster and it protects the bumper from getting all jacked up underneath.

eze5601 05-01-2007 10:28 AM

Do you have pics or website where i can find the boomerang?
The bumper and side skirts are genuine RUF. I believe the bumper and skirts cost me approx $2,900 not icluding paint and installation. I also have the bumper protected with an invisible bra. It covers the front bumper, side mirrors, almost half the hood and a section underneath the gas filler.

Thanks for the comments.

I thought that the Boxster "S" came with rear diffusers underneath? Is that the original rear bumper?

eze5601 05-01-2007 01:31 PM

The rear is original (i painted the buperettes s/p?) as far as I know there never was a rear plate

I think you're talking about the rear diffusers that are standard on both the base and the S model for 2003-2004 Boxsters...

Porschekid 05-02-2007 10:28 AM

I think a silver hood badge would really finish off that clean look... http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Porsche-Silver-Hood-Badge-Emblem-CLOSE-OUT-SALE_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ33643QQihZ001QQite mZ110122188295QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWDVW

porsche986spyder 05-02-2007 10:52 AM

I did not realize that the rear diffusers were not introduced until 2003. Makes sence now. Your car would look even better with the diffusers added to the rear bumper. Color matched of course. :cheers:

eze5601 05-02-2007 11:16 AM

Just placed a bid for the silver badge; Thanks. Anyone have more info/pics on the rear diffuser?
