Your car looks great. I like your Porsche batwing. Where did you get it?

its a stock batwing, when i painted my calipers red the first time i ordered those decals for it from xenonmods.com and they send you 6, so i had them leftover.
then now i have yellow calipers, and i personally think that porsche sript is too tiny and doesnt stand out at ALL, so i went with brembo ones.

Looks nice! But, sacrificing function over form, I hope you never miss your airbag.

Very nice DJ. That steering wheel is pretty cool looking. What are you doing about the airbag light?

Hey, don't get me wrong, I wasn't knocking your car at all. I think your car looks amazing! I don't think I've ever seen another Boxster in that color and you're certainly making the most of it. I do like the style of your MOMO wheel, but I'd prefer an Airbag. I would probably have looked at the RAID Airbag wheel.

But, in my case, having a Tiptronic, I'm pretty much stuck. Because there are only a few aftermarket wheels which allow you to keep the 'Manual' mode, the OEM Sport 3-spoke wheel is fine by me.

Sorry about hi-jacking your thread with the discussion of the Tiptronic aftermarket steering wheels, I've moved it to a separate thread

Hey DJ,

Does it bother you at all that you have such a pretty car all nice and clean and modded with nice wheels......driving right on a pile of salt?
