I really like the yellow boxster in that link. That's the first tasteful widebody kit for our cars that doesn't look ricey (to me, anyway).

It would be interesting to see how much attention to detail went into this project, along with the overall quality of the paint work. Depending upon a person's level of perfectionism, the cost of meticulously "fitting" and painting a body kit can easily surpass the price of the kit itself. In fact, most of the projects that I have been involved in, especially my own, resulted in labor costs that far, far exceeded the cost of the kits themselves.

Wink 12k for the kit is cheap.. look at this one it's 30k!

Hopefully a misprint. If not no wonder there are 3 of them left!

I guess it doesn't look terrible, and would look right at home on a track, but the white one I saw in the link reminded me too much of a Toyota MR-S the way it was mocked up...and while I like those, too, a Boxster it is not, and the Boxster's definitely no liltte Toyota. To each his own, though...someone out there will fall in love with it.
