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:

Here is another example of the matte black
Hey I just saw this one on Oracal's website for the "alternative" to paint:
http://www.oracal.com/news/feature-stories-selected.asp?fsID=11
These films are pretty amazing. Anyhow, that matte black is really starting to grow on me. I'm thinking my wheels either in that or gun powder style.

Couple of thoughts
I really like what you did with your car. The only things I would do differently would be keeping the entire headlight assembly, side markers and taillights unpainted. So that you have some contrasting gloss kinda like the wheels against the matte black body of your car. Just my 1 cent! Great job though nonetheless 
Happy Thanksgiving everybody.

The 3M product line is (of course more expensive) a little more user friendly. All of this vinyl is a PIA to remove if it has been out in the sun for just a few months.
