there must be more to this story.

Anyone out there old enough to remember JC Whitney?
We used to kid that cars like that were magnetized and driven through their warehouse.

Haha I just ordered heat shield tubing from them, they are still kicking. Remember the hood ornament collections they had? Including a man thumbing his nose which lit up... Before you guys go running for the credit cards, I think they discontinued it.

I suspect what happened was that Porsche did build the car to RS specs for the owner, but that the owner personalized the car by adding on the multitude of tacky Porsche crest decals on the side of the spoiler and top of the trunklid and then tacked on an RS badge on the rear portion of the bumper. It may be an amazing Boxster, but it sure ain't pretty.

Okay, how about we change direction on this thread and someone tell me about that rear bumper... it does not look like the typical 987 style but I may be wrong. Looks kinda nice.
