All

I need opinions. Be gentle.

I have the Arctic Silver Box with the Silver top. Was going to have wheels powder coated gun metal grey and have a dark grey PORSCHE stripe down each side. I did black powder coat and black stripes on my last box but it was the seal grey color so darker.

After seeing some pics online of the anniversary edition, I am not sure I like the gun metal grey now for this light colored box. I also was not a fan up front of Black on the silver box. Not sure why...still cant put my finger on it, but after looking at more pics, believe that is they way I should go.

More than that, I realllly dont like just the plain boxster - I like them jazzed up a little more. So stripes and wheels. (specifically the older models).

I am going to take the spoiler off the back (aftermarket) and do the 981 porsche and boxster lettering on the back. But IF ANYONE KNOWS WHERE I CAN GET THAT LETTERING IN BLACK, let me know. Suncoast has Black letters, but not sure if they are the same size as the chrome? I Guess I could call them.

My question is this:

Gun metal grey wheels and dark grey stripes OR

Black wheels and Black Stripe ALSO

Leave spoiler on or take off AND Use Black or chrome 981 letters???

I want the car to look like Porsche might have shipped it that way. Maybe that is why I am not 100% on the silver and black yet. Doesnt seem like that is something Porsche would have done. Also migh be getting thrown off because of the light top (maybe if it was black it would make me think different?

ANNNNNNNNNDDDDDDD GO -
