Shoot your pictures in the day time

A flash always makes pictures look awful. During daylight, the car is flooded with light so your camera will adjust and take a better picture...or did you use your cell phone.
Anyway, I think its a nice touch. Remember, there is nothing wrong making your Porsche yours. JB

not a fan of the kit either... but you're right... harsh words like that have no class... respect other people's taste... we all have earned the right to have our cars.. and what we do with them is our choice.

keep moddin

I think the longhorns would be a nice touch!

Please except my apologies as my comments were out of line.

I will tone my rhetoric down. When I first read the post I thought captqbec, with a single digit post count, was trying to inappropriately sell the dash kits on here as a non-authorized vendor and I reacted harshly. As most people who have a single digit post count and then post a "hey look at my.." along with a link to sales website is usually being done with an ulterior motive to sell a product.


hi guys,
got this great dash kit for my Boxster...surprisingly beautiful and VERY affordable....picture doesn't do it justice...check it out at: Auto Accessory Store

That sounds like a sales job to me, but then again I could be wrong.

Take this with a grain of salt. I still do not think that it looks that good, especially the cup holders and the pieces around the radio. They silver also tends to fade especially when exposed to sunlight, so don't be surprised if it starts to yellow a little bit. The good things is if you like it then that is great, if for some reason you change your mind later, it is reversible and your out of pocket expense will not be that painful.

I have no problem with people trying to make a car unique and their own. None of my cars look stock and all have been modded. Some of my mods worked, some of them didn't.

Enjoy your car and make it your own


btw the new picture you edited and posted in your first post is much better quality than the original and gives a clearer picture of the product.

Thanks, I have a wife, 3 kids, a Boxster and a Miata, I don't think the wife would appreciate it if I got a girlfriend though.

You would like the Miata it is not a stock Miata, it has a racing E Production fiberglass widebody kit, supercharged and will outperform the Boxster on the track

Again I apologize for my previous out of line comments
