The track rims are supposed to be the "nice" set, but I started using them because tire scrubs are much easier to find in the 18" than oe 17". What do you think? Keep the rims silver, or paint them seal grey?



thanks for the heads up ohhh my, but us track guys are always running out of brakes/tires/fluids/you name it.

Do not paint the Rims,they look great.

Thanks...another thought was to go all out crazy and paint the rims royal blue (think XKRS) actually, I have had a long day, I should keep it in silver.

Sgt Brad: Uh, oh...sounds like a clone or twin in the making. j/k!

I have always loved the uniqueness of the triple grey! Would be cool to have similar cars, esp since you are in Alabama Whats the weather like over there?

it would be funny to have boxster twins, but alas i have a black interior. i just happened to like the grey over seal grey paint. i'll have to chew on it a bit. it seems to take away a bit of the stark transition from black to grey. the boxster top isn't the prettiest shape ever. anything that minimizes it visually is ok with me.

we have A LOT of rain here in alabama so i'll be driving it a fair amount with the top up. temps are fairly mild. 40-50's now. we'll have a cold snap every now and again, but rarely does it ever stay in the teens for more than 1-2 days. snow here is a novelty.

if possible i'd like to see more pics of your box. just research ya know .

Sgt Brad: Glad to hear you are one to drive your nice cars in the rain...it really bothers me that some folks don't.

I don't have too many pics of the car besides the two posted...my opinion is to do the grey top, it really does set it apart from other convertibles and adds the "uniqueness." I will be posting update photos of the car in the near future though after some more parts go in.

Merrry Christmas everyone!!!!!!!!!
