Ferry Porsche had a one-off custom built mint green 2.7 that had graphics on the doors too. Good enough for him good enough for me.
I thought I had seen one with a Spyder side graphic more like GT3 RS flavor...could be I was mistaken. Something like that is indeed pretty decent...I'm just not one for them in general...to me they're a 'cheap car' feel-good item (like you'd see on a v6 Mustang to give it flair but never on a GT, which has no need for additional flair), and this car is anything but cheap. On the contrary, it's the current cream of the crop for the model. Again, that's just my opinion on that, whether it's a nearly 40 year old 911 or a new model year Boxster.

I guess it just makes the point of differing tastes for people. Someone out there loves the fact that Porsche is written more than once on the car in spots where you can't miss it. In the case of the Spyder, I can appreciate its specs, improvements, and technological kickass factor, but I'm not a huge fan of its style. I'd rather have a Cayman.
