You know Y2BOX, I'm not so sure that I like the humps myself. My wife thinks they're great. Here are some without. Better right?...everything else stays!

Yep, I prefer the car without.....but its a bit like the hard top, its great to be able to totally change the look of your car and be able to change it back. Keep the humps and you me and your wife will all be happy!!

Now let me get this straight. People do stuff to their car that doesn't make it accelerate faster, turn quicker or brake faster. I just don't get the point.

well you have a house, you have a garden. the garden doesn't really make your stay better. doesn't help you make more money or sleep better.

you do it because you want it to look different from other peoples houses. you don't like a boring simple houses like everyone else's.

n honestly, not to be cocky, because in no way am i that type of person. my side skirts with a deep dish 19 inch rim lowered 1.3 inches.....the car looks 10 times better then any stock boxster. the car is really really amazing looking.

next upgrade next summer GT3 front bumper.....and i think my car will, hands down be one of the best looking cars on the street.

What would we do without all of these opinions, anyway, all our friends are here!

Apologies to Don Henley.

It's already a pretty sweet looking ride - I can't wait to see the new changes....

Thumbs up Stttttooooppppp

OK, for a short while I've hidden in the shadows of this forum... Being my first post, here's an introduction:

I grew up with Porsche autos, and I have always had a passion for them. This probably isn't the best post for a first one here, but I don't care...

First off: everyone here is a Porsche lover! Of course you appreciate your baby, but the fact that many people drive the same car may motivate you to seek exclusivity.

As far as modifying the looks of your car... it's PERFECTLY fine, no matter what anyone says (we're not children here, I hope). Here's the deal... if you prefer your Porsche stock, keep it that way.. if you think that all body kits and spoilers and whatnot are hideous, then woo hoo! You've suddenly got less competition in terms of aesthetics on the road every time someone changes the factory look.

Now, if you want a little more than stock, in order to obtain a distinguished measure of uniquity, you are not the first, nor the last, and you are correct in pursuing what you want from YOUR machine (a magical machine, but a machine nonetheless). Some of the more seasoned Porschephiles are familiar with the "Special Wishes Program", from which many unique autos have emerged. If you buy quality parts and install them properly, I do not see a difference between what you are doing at your local (quality) body shop, and what Porsche engineers have done for a LONG time.

To end this excessively long post, I'd like to just say... Porschephiles need to stick together! We're a privileged bunch, guys.
