What color is your boxster ?
 
Cant decide which color I like best. But I do know that Arctic Silver is at the top of my list :)

What color?
 
Zenith Blue Metallic, black interior and Met blue top.

Mine was a year old! The owner had plunked down around $70k and had it in his/her garage!

Same here, a nice lady in Denver. Mine's rainforest green metallic.

My '98 is Ocean Jade Metallic. I'm still trying to find out how many were actually imported in this color in '98.

Joe B 11-06-2015 08:16 AM

Arctic Silver Metallic! You should do a poll.

jdraupp 11-06-2015 09:37 AM

Lol! Mine had just rolled off the line in Finland when this thread came out.

DWBOX2000 11-06-2015 10:27 AM

Arctic silver +1. Aren't 99% arctic silver? That's why I bought mine. Figured there would be a ton of silver body panels available if needed.

Really I just love the color.

78F350 11-06-2015 12:05 PM

Did you know it used to be black

Wow... just saw that the OP of that thread turned it into a mattress ad.
Now it almost makes sense that it didn't make sense originally.

50% of my Boxsters are Arctic Silver with the red leather interior. I love that color combo.

My first Boxster was Arctic Silver (per standard Boxster buying procedure). The second is Black.

Zenith Blue and Arena Red are my favorites.

Hm, at that time i was starting of thinking i need a Roadster for the summer. Not shure what it should be. Did a test drive with an Audi TT, Honda S 2000, BMW Z3, SLK 320. Wasn't convinced. Test drove a Boxster - and yes! Went to the Porsche centre some months later and signed the sales contract. Car was delivered on 13.01.2003. And yes, it's arctic silver. :D

Mine is Ocean Blue Metallic/Savannah Beige/Metropol blue top that was originally black.

Jager 11-06-2015 02:50 PM

2002! This is an old thread.
Seal Gray... My favorite color. It wards-off Highway Patrol and other ticket writers.

Triple black

rexcramer 11-07-2015 12:32 PM

Colors? I thought they only came in silver? I have the +/- $800.00 optioned Arctic Silver Metallic. I like it.

My first Mistress. I love this color. Oriental Red. 175,000 miles.

http://986forum.com/forums/uploads01...1447146353.jpg

Perfect car, I initially did not think I would like the Grey/Grey, but she is quite lovely. Growing more infatuated each day. It is interesting the wife, neighbors and co-workers like the grey more. The Cat just want attention. I like the, well, curves.

I did find a site with this information. There were 47 1998 Boxsters made in ocean jade metallic, a $805 option. I own one, with a 5-speed of course.

Do you have the link to that site? I'd be interested in seeing figures for other years and colors.

particlewave 04-18-2017 02:37 PM

Well, this thread is only 15 years old. :D

Boxtaboy 04-18-2017 03:20 PM

That's ok...the cars are over 15 yrs old too. :)

I like it! ;)

The door handles are a bit much, and I'd go with smoked or clear side markers, but the colors go great together.

First yellow one in the thread, despite it being fifteen years old.
