yeah i think perfectlap should also change his name to sideskirts...lol...i bought them only because he insisted that the car needs side skirts. i was going to put them on next summer anyways, but after he saw a pic of my car he again insisted that i put sideskirts.
"i don't really care for skirting because at least in my opinion, the fiberglass looks cheap...."
i don't think you've seen the side skirts up close and personal, they are amazing looking, and not cheap looking. changes the way the car looks completly. looks far more sporty. the car looks like a truck so high off the ground. its a sports car, it should be low and sleek. 1 inch drop and side skirts and you will not scrape a dam thing. personally id drop the car 2 inches, buts thats me and then for sure scrape scrape scrape
seeeu

Threp, nice mods, I like those wheels enough to steal them.
Your stereo looks pretty serious...I definitely would not want to get in a ghetto-blasting contest with you.
Hmm...alcantara looks alot like velour in photographs. Porsche should make velour interiors...that would be classy !
I think the stickers on the pedals might be a little much, plus you're stepping on the crest. That's like begging for RMS !

Thanks for the compliments.
About the stickers on pedals, I'm getting another new pedal made with real Porsche crest (metal) insert and epoxy cover, instead of sticker+epoxy. Don''t know if it will be any better.
It's funny because Japanese around me also said that I 'disrespect' Porsche by stepping on the crest. Maybe I should give it a deep bow before I drive

Hello fellow Boxs enthusiasts,
Been more than 3 months since I updated this thread.
My boxs was recently featured in Japanese audio catalog magazine
Here's the picture of the front cover that I scanned.

And picture of the main article. The Japanese gibberish is basically a quick run down of the audio setup.

Nope. I switched the wheel to Tech Art during photoshoot only
Atm, I'm in process to get the Tech Art ones adjusted. The shop said they can reduce about 5mm of the wheel so I hope that can fix the sticking-out-from-fenders problems. Will post an update to the other thread when I get the wheels back.
10.5 inch is about 266.7 mm, so with 5mm reduction, the size will be about 261.7mm.

Just an update...
The size reduction adjustment (5mm) made the rear wheel to brush against the rear shocks 
I have ordered another set of rear wheels but with smaller ET straight from Germany  (can't find any in stock here)...hopefully they'll get here in 2 weeks. Will post new pics when I got it installed.
