I've seen a lot of debate over the satin black paint jobs on the 996 forum on 6speedonline. Some guys say it's played out. From my perspective though I have NEVER actually seen a satin black car except in photos. So how is that played out then? It's certainly not common by any means unless you're going to some exotic car show.
But bottom line I give you props just for doing something different. There are things I like about what you've done and there are things I don't particularly agree with, but in the end you're making your car unique and YOURS! Good for you. Boxsters are a dime a dozen, Arctic Silver Boxsters even more so. On my last PCA tour I think we had 3 out of 4 Boxsters were silver, the other was of course Guards Red. Now when you go on a PCA tour you'll be the only satin black Boxster.

I agree...I cringe at the sight of a rattle canned honda,I wanna just light it on fire and do whoever it is a favor..  But a nice pro sprayed satin or even flat is a beautiful thing IMO..Theres things I dont like right now too,like the old headlights/tails/sides,stock vents(red),17" stock wheels,fenders/front end not upgraded to new/current style lights/ litronics,etc..And Honestly I cant stand the boxster ragtop ,period...Dunno why they can't just add a retractable hardtop like they could if they put their mind to it,that would be beautiful.But Hopefully I can work everything out by this next spring and get everything done I'm wanting to...Looking forward to it,I/ll keep posting pics as I go..

I dunno.... my girl REALLY wants a MB SLK350. We've test driven one and looked them over pretty carefully. They're a retractable hard top. When you put the top down you get almost ZERO room in the rear trunk and the front trunk has... well.... an engine in it! One VERY nice thing about the Boxster is that it's actually got some decent and usable trunks front and rear. To get a hard top I think you'd have to completely give up that rear trunk. No thank you, I'd prefer to keep mine and retain some of the usability of the car.

i dont know how i feel about the red i feel like there is too much... personally i would have a thinner red line on the wheels and maybe accent the intakes with a nice gloss black along with maybe a few other parts... but that is me and you did a great job it looks very VERY clean. congrats :dance:
