i'd definitely give you credit for being pretty original. but personally it's not my cup of tea, but at least it's done tastefully and cleanly. nice job.

Thanks for the kind comment, I was expecting something more harsh.. I know it may not be many peoples favorite but it is different and not over the top. I can also easily make it stock again if needed..

I like everything you have done, but I would say that it isn't my cup of tea either. I would have gone with a color other than orange. The silver and orange just doesn't work for me, but it still looks clean. I like the rims!

Looks like he has Toyo T1-R. Kudos to him for spending $ for nice set of rubber.

Hey man, it's all about what YOU like! By owning these cars we're too often subjected to other peoples opinions. I think for what you were going for it works. Yes, it's a little flashy, but then again, if you don't want to attract attention you shouldn't have a Boxster. Nice job!

I like it. If you have described it to me without the picture I wouldn't have thought the orange color would look good with the silver/gray but it seems to work. The combo is also not for me personally, but then Red Boxsters are not for everybody either. You are creative and original and that's great.

P.S. now you gotta do your factory rollbar in the orange color too.
