New to me wing

[AndyA6]

The whole theme of the car is nice, wing is good, not rice at all!

Car looks great. However, I would paint the bumperettes to match the the rest of the vehicle. The matte black on them is the wrong color value to complement carbon. Personally, I would "tie" things in by either matching the side mirrors to the wheels in gloss black or adding carbon to them to compliment the wing. In any case, your boxster is one of my favorites on the forum . Great job !

Kinda agree with Johnny, here. Maybe paint the bumperettes to be a glossy black, and maybe the mirrors with a carbon finish. I have to say, if not for the good amount of black already going on with the car, you'd probably be right to feel it would look a little off, but I think it looks great. The whole car's very tastefully done...and I'm a sucker for red and black.

Thanks for all the compliments guys.
I was thinking the bumperettes needed a touchup today as I was helping another boxster buddy flush his brakes and remove his GHL. We were using my car for reference on putting the bumperetes back on, and I thought to myself, "they're really not black any more, more like gray". I guess I will have to something about it

i've got to chime in as well... beautiful car! Well done for sure!

If I may ask, what tire sizes are you running on your Victor Zehn's? I'm thinking about buying a set of 18" Lemans or Zehn's at the moment and I'm wondering if I can run 235/40/18 fronts and 275/35/18 rears on stock 98 non-s suspension w/o any spacers, etc... And how have you liked those wheels, by the way?

Anyhow, again, awesome job so far! Definitely one of the best looking Boxsters on here!

Your car looks great! I've always been back and forth on how I feel about the speedster humps, but after the style growing on me with the new Boxster Spyder, and seeing your car, I might throw my set on the car now!

I'll have to check for you on tire sizes, but I'm fairly sure I run the tire rack recomended size for 18's. I'll check for you tomorrow. As for the rims go, I love them, they are straight! My old 18 turbo's were nice but they were getting beat up on my NE roads and the zehns are a little lighter too.

Awesome, thanks for the info Steve. Now if I can just decide, Zehn's or Lemans... haha. I love how they both look. I have 18" sport classic replica's now but, they need to be relacquered badly and they're just a bit rashed as well. But honestly, I'm just wanting to change up a bit I've always loved the sport classic spokey look, but, the Zehn's have grown on me. I totally love them in all black but alas, I have a black box and black wheels on black cars ain't that cool. Anyhow, thanks in advance for the tire info as well! -ian
