Oh, ok, yours is a 2003 as well. Disregard my question about what year your S was. I have an 03 S as well. It's guards red with a black interior. I love it very much, but I would like to mod it a bit. It has the carrera wheel option, xenons, painted roll bars, and bose. I want to first get it lowered and then do some engine mods. It is pretty fast, but it would be nice if it was quicker. It's too bad the boxster engines aren't real receptive to mods, but thats the way things go I guess. btw, the kinesis wheels look awesome. very nice touch.

just a note for you guys... who every want to buy kinesis wheels.. , don't get the standard finish... have them powder coat it... the standard "stain" finish they called will come off if you use wheel cleaner to wash it !!! and it will cost you $250/ wheel to have it fix...

Thumbs up

It looks really great! Not into mods myself really, but yours is well done and not over the top like some you see. Congratulations on a beautiful Boxster.

where did you get those kinesis wheels? and what size did you get? is the car lowered? looks sweet.
btw, I did a techart engine kit with stainless exhaust, headers, engine chip, and air filter / throttle bosy swap and the car really kicks. I't supposed to bump the hp and torque by 45-50.
feelit.

Looks good! Where did you purchase the GT3 front bumper? Is it a direct bolt-on or are additional parts (like ducts to radiators) required?

The side skirts and front bumper are from the Aerokit II. I have the same on my car. It also comes with a funky rear wing that I decided to leave off.

hey XXXboxserXXX,
I also have an arctic silver and I'm going to add GT3 style side skirts soon. Did you provide the paint to the body shop? Your's is a good match.
