I think the white with amber lights looks great!

Thanks
The amber has grown on me...it's more the shape of the headlights that I don't like, though I really don't notice that anymore either.

At XTR986:
I'm posting a picture of the rear end. It's just and aftermarket fiberglass rear/skirt if you will. It was locally (by the guys at "No Limit") molded/mated to the stock bumper. I spray painted the semi oval shape around the grill to resemble the intakes. I bought it from eBay awhile back. Not seeing them there now..

As for the status of the worthiness of the twins I fear your latter statement applies. I enjoyed them even when only boosting 5psi. They were enough to match the performance of my dad's 2005 Boxster S (3.2). The guys at Turbowerx helped me good throughout the setup and there after but recently was having smoking issues and I did a compression test. At least one of the cylinders is showing reading less than half of the others. Don't know for sure yet what happened but I've been so bummed out that I just left the car (looking pretty).

Next step is take out the engine to know for sure..

My screen name comes from the SC Element in the street. Sadly, sold it 2 weeks ago, it was a great utility daily driver, and bike hauler.

I have been playing around a lot with the camera and GIMP (Linux Photoshop equivalent). I like some of the results I get. This is just below Chinook Pass, in Washington state, in May. Elevation ~5000 feet.

The colors here are just wild enough to look a bit unreal, but they also bring out the purple/blue awesomeness that is Zenith Blue.

Our last ride towards the Dolomites ..... and probably one of the last weekends before the bad season.


In Possagno, right in front to the tomb of Andrea Canova, the neo-classic sculptor.


A stop for lunch at Forcella Giau, before heading down to Cortina. In the background, first the Alta Badia and then the Gruppo del Sella.
