I like the spokes in gun metal but only if you have the lip polished brightly.
It looks really cool with reld calipers and drilled rotors see my pics

I'd paint the inside of you intakes the gun metal color as well to add some
contrast to all the white.

My Autocross tires on my old miata were five spoke gun metal with a polished
inside barrel and polished outside lip. Lost count of all the questions and compliments.

Here's one with the winter BBS RK's. (sold the car for $6500 with 110K miles)

I like the them just the way they are.

hey that silver on silver looks really good.
Have you consider painting the back of your roll bar in the body color?

I scheduled a tech session with Wheel Tech.

May have to postpone it because there is a local drive the same day.

tool pants, I think I'll join that drive as well (assuming you're talking about the one that meets at carlsen at 9:30 next sat?).
I'm looking forward to a work on cars day soon too since I missed the last one (that being the first one since I've owned my 986)...I've still got a B&M and evo linkage to install.

Tdog,
is your car lowered? I just got a quote on the Carreras with NO Dunlop Sp 9090 for $3k delivered. I'm looking into the tires I may want something a little racier but Porsche seems to think they are good for the Boxster.

Perfectlap, my car is lowered with HR spring, and yes, I would love to have my roll bar body color matched as well as some of interior parts. But I dont know how much work is involved to remove the rollbar and have them painted. I might sell the boxster and get a S or even the 987, So if I do I'm planning to sell the liptronic headlite and the carerra to forum members unless the future owner wants them.

Looks like the drive is cancelled. But not the wheel tech session in Santa Clara.
