New to this Forum! Thanks!

Sweet looking ride in Arena Red!
Lots of room in the trunk for the potato gun and a big bag of Yukon Gold ammo.
Ask me how I know...:D

Nice colour, but I'd be sharp to remove that fender badge!

Thanks! LOL

Thanks, I will consider it, I kinda like it.

But it's just pretending to be a Ferrari badge? You may as well stick an 'S' next to your rear Boxster badge!

Either way though, clean looking car :)

It's not pretending to be anything, the badge reads Porsche on it. I have seen these on other Porsches. Thanks for the compliment!

Don't take it the wrong way. The thing is that putting a shield on the fender is usually a Ferrari thing. Add to that the fact that this one is not a true Porsche crest, but rather the Stuttgart crest which looks suspiciously like the Ferrari crest.

Either way, beautiful color and welcome!

It's a Ferrari badge with 'Porsche' on it.

I've seen Boxsters with small Porsche crests on the fender and they don't look too bad at all - I even went to buy some at one point as I thought they were great.

Take this video for example, he has one:

Each to their own, but anyone who knows anything about cars would think you're being a bit daft there.

No problem, thanks for the video, that crest looks good. I took it off my car. LOL Thanks man!!!!

Welcome to the group and a really nice looking box! As for the sticker...do whatever your thing is and live in the moment. Problem with joining a group that is focused on a particular "item" is that there will be 10,000 opinions as to how it should look (good or bad). Personally, I like seeing how people deck their rigs.

Yeah thanks, I now how opinions are. The badge is no big deal, just wanted show the car. This is not my first Porsche, I have owned a few, along with other hot rods and muscle cars. Thanks again, glad to be here!!!

Opinions are like butt holes. Everyone has one and all of them stink! Lol.

Cool car, looks great for its age. The badge isn't my thing but if you like it rock on. This forum is great and I'd say majority of contributing members are car guys and gals and love talking shop. Congrats on the addition.

Apologies if anyone got the wrong end of my stick! Just didn't want people looking at it and going "Pff, what is that?". I'd rather someone say :)

No problem, it's all good here in Alabama!!! Thanks

Wow, great find. Is it okay to ask how much you paid for it? That is about the same mileage mine has here (tiptronic), just curious. PM is okay if you prefer keeping the info off record (I'll respect that).

Fender sticker were just fine man. Stuttgart horse, shield shape... belongs to Dr. Porsche in fact, Ferrari stole it from him lollll (I have no idea to be honest, just trolling...)

Around $6500.00 this price includes some parts and upgrades I did to the car.
