Are those really Brembo brakes?

Im going to say this again....
1st - Bruce almighty
2nd - Evans almighty

and now, DJ almighty! dude, it looks so great after you painted your wheels black. I love it...the painted crest and the brake :cheers:

now change your sig :D

yea siggy has to be changed, funny thng i got a pic at the same spot w me in it, so that will be my new siggy, but my friend took it and hes being lazy with sending it to me. lol.

and Chills,
you have brembos too, we all do :)
well just with porsche stickers, but i like the contrast like this

No kidding? I didn't know that. Sweet.

Oh, and the black wheels look pimp. I bet the car looks good even with the top up. The black and black.

I love the Black wheels look
 

Did you paint those wheels yourself? I'm looking to buy some black wheels if I don't end up selling my Boxster S.

Chills,
good catch, i somehow forgot to include one w the top up, its up there now.

2000SoCalBoxsterS,
yes they are painted black, see this thread.

Sweeeeeeet! :cheers:

I'll have to admit, I was not the biggest fan of lace look wheels (not just yours but in general), but those look frickin awesome. Dj, I think you were the one that photoshopped my 17" boxster rims black for me so I could see what it would look like on my seal grey. I am definitely doing mine now. What kind of paint did you use? BTW, are those 17" or 18" rims. I am just a little worried that the black will make the wheels/rims appear smaller than the current silver.

It's like having a completely different car... glad you like it!

dj-

really like it. can't wait to see the tires shined once the paint is fully cured. definitely will look better the dull tires and understand your patience to wait for the full cure.

makes your 17's looks like 18's!

I'm now wondering how my 18 turbo twists would look in black on seal gray/black car???

Jeff

Looking good! Nice to see the index card trick in action too.

Sweet! Now for black lug bolts to complete the look.

I would paint the lip or edge of the wheel silver to break up the black of the tire and wheel. It will play well with your painted roll bars and make any curbing that might come your way in the future easier to repair, all you'll need is a can of duplicolor body filler and Wurth Silver. All German cast alloy wheels are made from the same paint code or very similar. I might paint the background of the center caps silver as well.

Try doing it with photoshop.

p.s.
dress those tires! I've been using the poorboys trim spray, works great on the windshield trim, bumperrettes and the plastic molding between the top and the windows... doesn't run in the rain...

thx guys,
im really enjoying the transformed look of the car with black wheels. i was actually thinking about getting a red pinstripe on the enge instead of silve,r but well see, looks good this way.
the 1st pic is w no tire dressing, as well as the last 2 :)

shaman1204,
they are 17s

something like this perhaps? what do you guys think?
once the paint cures properly

Not sure
 

The red ring would be even better, call me finiky but I dont car for the color combo with that color car......something is missing but I cant put my finger on it...
Dont get me wrong, I not saying you have an ugly car, In fact I think that green is very unique..

There is just something missing.....A wing, flare, a piece of chrome...something..

Sorry not much input, just wanted to see if anyone else could help figure out what I though was missing...


I will shut up now... :cool:

it needs to be lowered badly, and new front bumper probably, which is what i have planned for it
and im the most anti-chrome person ever...but i do like the exhaust tip so :matchup:

Looks awsome :cheers:

Now has the race car look :cool: :D

dj
I'm not a big fan the black rims. Reminds me of a spare tire. All that matters dj is your happy with it.
