Thanks for starting this thread Jim. I have done the both my Boxster and 993. The local shoe repair shop did the sewing for $10 a belt. Total for a pair of belts for the 993 was under $70. The Boxster was a tad more due to the additional length.

Also, the regular red is closer than the flame red to OEM.

Any updates/pics there Lobo? I'd love to get on this mod as well.. Did you get the regular red?

No actually, I got the Flame red. I ordered normal red but when it came I was not happy with the shade. it was more burgandy or blood red then just plane jane red. So I sent it back and got flame red a little brighter than I wanted but with an all black interior it looks great just the same.


once I get my blackberry cord....somwhere around here... Ill get this DIY started.

I agree. I put the flame red in the Boxster and the regular red in the 993. I took the pieces to the local Porsche dealer and the regular red (despite it looking more burgandy) was almost a perfect match to OME.

Regular on left..... Flame on right.

my other reasoning even tho the OEM is darker. I feel that If I were to paint my calipers red or upgrade to brembos or what have you. the flame red will match a lil better. if not ill pay and have my belts re-done in normal red. and I could do this 5 or 6 times and still be cheaper than buying one pair of OEM red lol

Chuck, first your car is immaculate and second, your garage is awesome! Do you have a bar in there too?

Thanks on both. No bar, but I do have a refrigerator full of beer!

If I double stack the Mini S and Boxster S I can fit four cars in there.

Glad to hear this mod got traction. I originally did my 914 and thought it would work on the Boxster-plus save a ton of money :)
