Is that Arena Red Metallic? If so, it can look drastically different in different light conditions. A guy local has Arena Red on a 911 and it looks stunning in person in my opinion. In general I like that color combo though as you don't see it too often.

I don't remember what I clicked, I know special edition, premium wheels, spoiler, I possibly missed a couple options.....

not my personal favorite color but its actually nice with the tan, I would definitely paint the side vents to match....I would go with Cayman vents, obviously looking at my car, but even the standard boxster vents painted would look great....

I love Carmon Red. And that's a great ext / int color combo. Would have bought a left over new 06S in that color instead of my LE if the dufeses in NOLA would've played ball. Part of the allure of that color to me is you don't see many Porsche in that color. I like being a bit different and I don't like to see copies of me on every street corner. Take that Boxster to a Porsche event and chances are you'll be exclusive. Stand out in the crowd.

But what difference does it make if we do or don't like that color. It's your hard earned $$$, not ours. If you like it, buy it. You don't need our approval.
