Thaks for the compliments. I haven't done much to my car. Only added Aerokit II and B&M shifter. Eibach/Bilstein is next. Thinking about silver console. After that, maybe some wheels and that'll be it. Here's my recent pics: Detailing My Black Daily Driver (pictorial...56K maybe)

the gauges and white cluster thingy reminds me of those old 911 RS cars from the 70's.

Yep you need a three spoker on that steering wheel.
maybe consider GT3 seats like I have in Black.

I might look at different wheels in the future. You have allot of body modifications and it just seems strange seeing those Porsche wheels on there.
maybe have your current wheels painted black or red and add the painted center caps and polish the outer lip,
Yellow calipers look kick ass with red wheels? (see GT3 photo below)

the door graphics below would also be eye catching on your white Boxster.
Its a very classic styling detail on white Porsches.
instead of having GT3 printed I would go with just Porsche, 986 or Speedster.
The fade effect on the front and rear bumpers looks very nice.

for the bumper maybe have some RS style inlets cut out like the GT3 RS.
I have a new GT3 bumper($1100)
I think its the Supercup version with the hole
for the tow hook, unless all the GT3 bumpers have this hole. not sure
I plan to have the RS inlets cut out as well.
Or maybe wedging in a set of GT2 louvers($150)
between the hood and bumper edge.

You can add a lower lip spoiler ($200 call VENEK) and have it painted red.

very compelling ideas, mr. lap. however, i said to myself in the beginning that i didn't want to exceed in cost the price of a carrera and your suggestions would fall outside of that criteria. very radical ideas nonetheless. but while many feel i'm contradicting myself, i didn't want the mods to be too gaudy.

i hear you though on the steering wheel and like your inlet ideas. do you have any pics of your gt3 bumper? also, your gt3 seats are one of the most unique mods that i have yet to see on a boxster. good work.

is that the 'carrera' white?
I was thinking of doing skirts / bumper / diffuser like yours but the maintenance of them sounds like a headache (mine's a daily driver).
love those air scoops...I have the same and I can't tell you how many people notice them and comment.
black wheels would look killer on there...but I'm a fan of black wheels on a white car. ;-)

I'm probably going to be selling mine, as I just picked up some custom painted kinesis k58's (black centers, polished lips).

The GT3 seats are the greatest thing I have ever done to a car. sooo supportive for my screwed up back. After a three hour bike ride its the perfect remedy.
Tons of comments, even from people in the next lane. this guy put them in them in this Gulf inspired livery.



This is the same bumper I have, the owner put in the RS inlets with rounded edges instead of the square style inlets like on the new GT3 MK2 (like the white GT3 RS above).
Unfortunately its still sitting unpainted in the corner with the new style GT3 side skirts (also like pic above) I picked up for $430 delivered from precisionporsche.com
The lower lip spoiler is also a must have.

Being someone who has actually driven in Boxster3000's car I can say the pictures do not do this freak of nature justice. The car should have wings on it. Mr 3000 is very humble. He's what inspired me to buy mine. I agree on the steering wheel, but personally I dig the seat covers from a functional perspective. It's sick man... I hope mine can look that nice and run that FAST one day.
