you might get it a bit cheaper since the boxster is so small and relatively simple as far as surface curves. Standard colors without metallic affects and texture are a bit cheaper than some of the matte, satin, pearl, etc. colors and patterned vinyl. Materials cost is probably around $350-400+ if you are using a good brand (3M, Oracal or Avery) and I would highly recommend using a good brand. If your paint is poor (oxidized) or really chipped, vinyl will not fill in the blemished. It will cover very light scratches but not much else. Lifespan is about 4-7 years depending on how much your drive it, climate (sun exposure), and how carefully you drive it (gravel roads?).
