I Like the Gun metal looks as well I like the clear /gery side markers and the de-ambered front.

Came across this and had to grab it for you. Interesting. You can make nice cars with just a fw oz of paint and a sticker these days

I think I'm going to stick with Gunmetal Rims. I don't want to stand out too much

That sounds like a low-key improvement I would do.

That gunmetal looks great on the 04 550 Boxster, not sure about a black car thought. I've seen glossy black wheels and that doesn't work for me either. I like silver wheels on a black exterior Boxster.

What about yellow? A friend had a bumble bee '74 LE 914 was back in the 70's and it looked great.
