too ricer ?

paint the mesh black and it'd look pretty much like a turbo bumper.

djomlas 09-20-2007 10:29 AM

that looks sick, wayyyyyy better than a turbo bumper, and you wont be a turbo poser.

but yeh, that looks really nice, when i was searching for a porsche in the first time i thought to myself that bumper looks nice.

What makes it look ricey is the silver mesh I think.


BTW Chris, any more track vids of the box you can up to utube? Very inspiring. Oh and nice driving. :cheers:

I also dont like the mesh, way to over done. I have mesh in my bumper but its not near as overt as that. I da no, people think mine looks ricey, but I think it looks fine. And im VERY anti-rice. VERY! Its all your own opinion.

Made outta fiberglass.
You hit a parking block or something in the road, it's gonna shatter into a million pieces. Bye bye $$$
Otherwise, its OK looking. Have seen MUCH worse out there.

Hey bogg I just noticed that you don't have the front lip on your GT3 bumper...Why not?

Of course, we'll have time to take a nap while you're outside pulling your bumper to clean the schmegma out of your radiators. http://smiliesftw.com/x/haha.gif

YouTube videos
 
Thanks for asking and the comment (blush)
Happy to cater to my fan base :D

I added a few more videos from a track day in Laguna Seca two weeks ago.
In case anyone tells you that the Boxster is not a real Porsche, show them one of these videos where I take on (and pass) much stronger cars:

Ferrari F430 Spyder:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VbCGbi-JPsA

Carrera S:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=na3tVdZlIKM

Carrera (as an additional bonus you can watch me almost loose the car in turn 9 - the one after the corkscrew)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eZtcF9FDB08


Simply search for "chriszang" in YouTube and you get a list of the "whole works"
Not sure if I'll do any more track days this year, so this might be it for 2007...

I have a boomerang on to protect it. I want a lip, but I want the factory cup lip. But they are so expensive.

Lol.. i've owned 3 porsches now, have yet to have a burning need to tear my bumper off to clean the radiators :)

The first time I saw it, I really liked it. Since then it's kind of fallen out of favor with me. Can't explain it exactly but there is something "off' with it's dimensions/appearance.

BTW, I'm very jealous of the fact that you get to drive the track sans top.

:cheers:

boxsterz 09-21-2007 09:38 PM

Thanks man! Nice recovery on the bobble after the corkscrew.
