Thanks guys...

I am gonna keep it this way ... probably for as long as I have it. The wheels I dont mind so much... especially since the ride is so smooth and quiet, yet still handles great.

Oh, and I almost thought about selling the hard top just bc I had it in the garage for about 3 weeks.... but last weekend was rainy and boy did it come in handy.... the top looked beautiful on the car and the ride was INCREDIBLY quiet and comfortable.

As far as the front plate... I am still waiting for my new plates to come in... front and back. Taking entirely too long... I'm about to go yell at people at the dealership tomorrow to see if they actually sent off for them 6 weeks ago. (I've never had plates take this long.)

Congrats Hugh, also love the look with the hardtop! How do you like the tip? I've never driven one, always been curious.

Nice ride man. That is Lapis Blue right? The best color in the world man!

Hugh D · 04-11-2007, 06:42 PM

With all my city driving... I really like the tip... sometimes I feel like a girl with it but whatever...

It's not lapis... it's ocean... someone at work has a lapis boxster though ... it's a very nice color (more rare too, it seems)

congrats and enjoy...

I also don't think the 16s look that bad at all, especially since they are probably the least common set available.

Good luck with it.

If you need tires (and wheels), I think a member of this forum has a set for sale on Ebay at what I think is a good price. I have a 99 and these wheels were a $1250 upgrade just for the wheels.

Hmmm...hard to tell the difference between the ocean and lapis blue.
