Like the look! Will be a pain to keep clean around the cap screws? I'm still on my 17" Boxster design wheels because they're so easy to clean... and I'm lazy

Nice window tint. What's with leaving the spoiler up in the pix?

is this car lowered only in the front? if so how much? im gonna place 19" wheels on mine and was thinking of lowering the front 1" using eibach springs. i think it looks aggresive and when you get on the gas it evens up. thanks

sideskirts make all the difference in the world. Should have been my second Mod after upgrading to 18" Carreras. Fills that empty space under the doors for a 'lower stance' effect.
Wheels look great I'd try to add a lower lip spoiler for the front. THe racer's group sells the Supercup for under $200 with just a little trimming from what I understand.

I'm going to try and find that stuff that you can spray on window tint and shrink it up so it can be removed.

The car is lowered on H&R Springs with Bilstein shocks. According the the specs of H&R the car shouldnt sit as low as it does, but i dont mind it. Its about 1.5" in the front and 1" in the rear.

The wheels look hot on your Box. I love silver when it's all de-ambered also. Why does it seem like every always says you can find cheap lips for the Boxster but I never see any links? I would love a nice flat black lip for mine.

When people risk their lives, shouldn't it be for something very important?
Well, it better be.
But what is so important about driving faster than anyone else?
Lots of people go through life doing things badly. Racing's important to men who do it well.
When you're racing, it's life. Anything that happens before or after is just waiting.
