There's still more work to be done, but I'm pretty happy so far.

Yeah, I used to have a Seal Grey one that was the same way. When all cleaned and polished, I think Lapis Blue looks the best. For day to day driving, Seal Grey, all the way.

^ Now that's funny. Never crossed my mind to dress up differently for one of those topless occasion. Can imagine the cops surrounding me in a flash, "hands in the air", which bank have you robbed today Sir?

While at it, here goes my Best Boxster (Boxer whatever) Pic of the month. Wait till it loads fully you love this one

Cool idea, would be interesting to see them in person. Not sure about the doors.... Do they help in tight spots?

In fact you have 2 options regarding the door, it opens almost 90cm horizontally and then you can either pull it upwards vertically or simply open it as any normal car, thats the good advantage about the doors.

This model doesn't seem to show the IMS bearing falling apart.

This is the design I am looking forward.. somehow very exotic.
Thoughts?

I might add a wing to the list after the boot / trunk in fiberglass swap.
Which should look something like that:

This does set the car apart. But what are you gonna do about the turn signals and reverse light if you covered those areas up?
