You already know what my thoughts are on the green graphics ," Ringling Brothers" ! As far as the gold wheels are concerned, try something like a graphite or gunmetal . Black can be a challenging color when it comes to finding a good contrast. Even different "values" of black often get lost within the main color field.

Don't do it IMO, you could try just the rims and black em out in powder coat or go for gunmetal paint if you are itching for a diff look.

At first glance I failed to notice the gold dolphin. Now that I have seen it, I am about ready to throw up on my shoes. You have got to be kidding !

I think your black 986 looks fantastic. Very classy. While I like the headlamps better on the 987, I think the 986 looks better in black because the rear vents are body colored. I think the orange side markers look fine too.

You have a great looking car. Let it be.

Hold that spew! It's a photoshopped piss take on a pimped out Beach Boys theme. The car is safe lol

Crap!!! I just noticed the surfboard on the roof, with a single fin in the front and double fins in the rear. I bet that'd be a hell of a ride!!!

That will teach me for rushing lol. I could say its built for straight line speed but that wouldn't be the Boxster thing.

Not so much. The only way I'd think it were appropriate were if you had to "go" to go with the "show." X51 3.8 comes to mind.....

Take a look at:

They've got what you want. I was thinking of having my business (RennZenn) done in the Carrera/GT3 font for the side, but I've chosen to go with something different.
Also, Suncoast was advertising the actual Porsche "Boxster S" side decals for $250 a while back.
