Gives the car a very aggressive look, especially with the black wheels.

It is indeed.

I like the side skirts a lot. I can live with the rear bumper, it's good. I'm just not too keen on the swoop and vent on the sides of the front bumper. I don't think it looks bad, it just seems off a little bit, but it does match the side skirt swoop and vent, so there is some cohesiveness and consistency.

Overall though I think it does make the car look a lot more aggressive and cool. I'm sure it will stand out a lot more now and you'll get some good compliments on it. Anything to take the Boxster away from the stock "chick car" look is good. :p :p :p

Please check out my posting on TeamSpeed. The images of the project are much better. For some reason they did not attach well on this site.

Cool vid
 
That was a pretty cool vid of the girl, I like the car too. :D That was pretty cool watching those guys work, looks like they did a great job. I really like those smoked out lenses...I've been seeing it quite a bit on the road on other cars, and I think they look really sharp. That lipped rear spoiler is pretty cool, I like how it gives the car a bit of flare...kinda caymanesque (if such a word exist).

Good job!

RandallNeighbour 05-29-2009 09:16 AM

I too love the smoked tail lamps, but frankly, they are not safe and that's why they are illegal in most states and not DOT approved. When I slam on my brakes, I want the driver behind me to see my brake lights clearly and brightly to avoid rear ending me and throwing me into whatever I have braked to avoid.

Let me repeat thought that I think they are very cool. My 3x black boxster would look very stealthy with them on the car. I just wouldn't feel safe driving around Houston with them on the car considering the way people tailgate in this town while eating lunch and talking on their cell phones.

The rear bumper is a high quality German TUV approved piece that is distributed by FVD here in the USA.
Contact Rhonda, she is excellent to deal with.

I wonder how Alious Ruf feels about them ripping off his RGT bumper and adding a few slats and scoops? Not knocking your car, it looks nice, a bit over the top for me with all the scoops, but its yours, and if you like it then thats all that matters. It does after all have the correct badge on the front!

Obviously you have never seen the Hamann bumper and side skirts in person to see that they share nothing in common with the Ruf. Perhaps a better question would be, how does Nissan feel about Alious Ruf "knocking off" their 350z front bumper?

That's a pretty impressive video. Looks like a lot of work, but also looks like the kind of project for which the expression "labor of love" might apply!

Sorry man, your car looks good, its just that that front bumper looks alot like an RGT bumper with vents in the top and the scoop on the side. It was just an observation, not intended to degrade. Maybe I worded it a bit wrong initially.

They are close, but I can kinda see how it may be a bit more different in person. Its all in the angles! Looks like the rad intakes on my bumper are a bit wider. My bad, I retract my previous comments. ;)

Hi, That is one of the most beautiful clean conversions I have ever seen on a boxster.

Congratulations and enjoy :cool:
