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

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.

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.

YouTube videos

Thanks for asking and the comment (blush)
Happy to cater to my fan base

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:

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.
