My take on the GT3 RS (Boxster RS?) - 986 Forum - The Community for Porsche Boxster & Cayman Owners

Peter Gregg rolled a set of tangerine orange painted Fuchs forged alloys into the Brumos shop one afternoon to put on his brand new, beautiful, black turbo. This was, like 1977 or 78. All of us in the shop started gagging and holding our stomachs, to the point Prince Nitro nearly had an explosion. Rather than be fired or thoroughly ass-chewed, we all shut up......that is until the car was on the ground again. Most everyone was speechless. It may well be the best looking turbo I can remember.

Like someone else said, had you described what you were doing, I would have had a gag reflex, but it turned out quite nice.

Good job on original thought patterns. Too few around these days.

Very nice. Would you mind sharing where you got the graphics done?

That's bold baby! I would not go there, but it's all about what you like.

The side "boxster S" graphic does not look like it is placed quite "right" but at least it is the same on both sides. Do they make seat-belts in that color?!

i looked at this thread last night and was like meh, i dont like it but it's not horrible

looked at it again and tonight i like it more... i don't tihnk i'd ever do it to my box, but i'd definitely commend you on it, for more than just going your own way/doing something different... well done

Wow, I missed all the comments on here..

Yes I know alot does not like it or think its for them, but I had a vision and went for it. I do like the end result.. As far as the rollbar. Yes I want to paint that one as well, but when I went to paint I couldn't get it out. And leaving the car there for a week to have it painted was not an option. But I beileve that the rollbar will add that little extra.

I do have chrome lug nuts but I am wanting black ones (got the wrong one shipped to me)

As far as orange blending nice with silver.. I got a silver car just b/c i like a silver car. Although adding color to a silver car is extreamly difficult. I can't paint the wheels the body color since they were already silver.. Black has been done over and over again. So what can I do? I saw this picture and went for it. I had no idea how it would look on my car but if a GT3 RS is good enough, my Box is too..

I got the graphics from a local guy here in San Diego..

Porsche Stripes

I wanted the same as the GT3 RS but he has a lot of different options and you can write whatever you want..

Personally, I like it; it adds a very sport related theme to the car. This would be over the top for me personally (at my advanced age), but looks good for the younger set. If I didn't have two kids off to college soon, a green GT3RS would be in my garage. This, coming from a fella with a green 73 911 RS clone (with black graphics).

The only thing I would have done differently is space the lettering centered a bit more. It looks as though you wanted the "S" under the side vent, but that kind of threw the rest of the alignment off a bit.
