Nice ride! I especially like the way you de-ambered with matching silver paint on the headlamps. What exactly did you do on the center dash with the cup holders? I see they are not straight across from one another...

that my friend, was the evidence of a starbucks hazelnut late, double shot, extra hot. hahaha, actually, i just left one cup holder extended and one retracted. Good eye, though. but honestly, all that money i spent my car, the best money i ever spent was not on wheels or bodykit, it would have to be on those $100 stock cup holders. you have no idea how much starbucks and red bull i have spilled on the carpet.

Hey T2F!
There is another Thunderhill event in July! Hope to see you there! I went to the last one and it was great! Though I didn't have my Boxster there we did have my Bro's SVT Focus and my Bosses GT3. Not a ton of cars at the Unlimited laps events. So that means lots of track time!

hdpt73, i think their 2.5 in the front, 3 inches in the back. I think i paid a total shipped for them around $2200, from florida. I found the guy on ebay, but called them and just charged it on my card so he gave me a pretty good discount for not going through ebay and their fee's. If i were you though, buy just the rims alone and have buy tires from tire rack. Have them mounted and ballanced localy. You'll save yourself money and headache. when i got mine in all the stick on wieghts fell off. I cant remember the offset, but it was a pretty standard # for boxster, 51's and 47's or something like that. It should fit no problem on a 98, i dont think their is a change on the body. From what i read on this forum before when i was doing reserch on offset and rim size, you might run into a clearance problem with my: 97, but mine is a 99 and even with over sized rims, and oversized tires, and lowering the entire car by 1.5 inches with the h&r's, i have never experienced rub or clearance problems. only thing im not liking much right now is how low the car is overall with the body kit on. Its literaly 3 inches off the ground, lucky the kit comes with a replaceable front lip.

I think you should debadge it to enhance the exotic "what was that car?"- factor as you drive by (especially living in LA). It no longer looks like a 986....it looks like a .... something else. Nice job !

"Late for a date" Clever!

Now you need some track VIDEO to share with us. At least some audio clips of your turbo'd engine.

It looks pretty sharp. I love silver. But all that money, and you're still rollin' with halogens?

What's the process of removing the speedster humps like? Fast? Easy?
