Who's Humping???
 

Got your attention. LOL

What are people general thoughts on speedster humps? I may pick up a pair tomorrow that are already painted my color. Any thoughts?

kinda ugly ....

not a fan. they look fine on the spyder, but it was designed for them. they just look out of place otherwise.

If I really wanted a Pontiac Solstice or Batmobile instead of a Boxster then fine.

Don't care for those Humps really. They just dont quite have the right look to my eye.

I'd sooner get new front bumper air dam or wide look panels to make it look like a track racer (Not a street racer)

Thats just my taste so really you should do what makes you smile.

There will be as many opinions on this as there are people who own Boxsters.

Even asking the SO what she likes is a big mistake....your toy...your choice!

So far 0-3

I really am going by this by the way. I have Zero judgement in my old age.:ah:

They look nice with a complete body kit, otherwise they odd on a stock car IMO.

BTW. Hell yea I want the batmobile!

I kinda like how the look on this red 986.

Hamann Body kit for Boxster? - 6speedonline.com Forums

My vehicle came with the factory "speedster kit". I hated them from both an aesthetic point of view, as well as a design one. I found them to be not only goofy looking, but they were a total pain in the a** to put on and take off. In fact, if one isn't very careful installing them, you run the risk of scratching or denting the tonneau cover. Also, good luck if you're caught in rain . Not only are they a total pain in the a** to stow, it's like a Chinese fire drill trying to get them off and the top up asap.

0-5. Danger counts for two.

I wouldn't put one on my car, but I do like the way the car looks with them on.

So............Not really sure what that means.

I bought a set of OEM Speedster humps a bit back and have yet to get them painted and put them on my car.

So if anyone is interested :o




.

I wouldn't put one on my car = I have no interest in sporting one for myself. Not due to cost. Not due to difficulty of installing one. I just don't find them interesting enough to warrant myself strapping a speedhump to the back of my Boxster.

I do like the way the car looks with them on = However, the general appearance of a Boxster with speedhumps on it does "fit" the look and complements the car nicely. While I wouldn't say they 'complete the look', they do look right on the car.

Sheesh, Jaay.... ;)

Or, are you referring to your "poll?"

Score is 0-5-1. 0 wins, 5 losses, 1 draw.

Thanks for the reply. Thanks for the poll update. I do have the luxury of trying them out first. So pics and thoughts to come tomorrow.

I thought about them briefly for mine as well, but in the end I prefer the look without. Plus the PITA factor weighs heavily when a sudden rain begins.

Like the look, but again, the PITA factor...My top goes up and down too much.

I like mine. Lots of compliments. If I had to drive it every day...........I'd probably not have them on as much....but here in Florida, Nov-Feb..............Sunny every day.

Maybe on a speedster from the factory but as an aftermarket add-on... uh, no.

I like mine too. But they're rubbing off the rubberized paint at the base of the clamshell where it meets the top material. :(

That's what I'm missing - the speed humps!

No story - just a funny photoshop job by a buddy of mine.

Wait... you didn't think that was real, did you?

Well I went and laid them on. They don't look too bad on my car. They were aftermarket though and could use some work so they stayed with the owner. Sorry for the iphone pics.

Wow, not too much love for the humps. Before I bought mine, the first question I asked was, "can those ugly things be taken off???". But now that I've had the car a couple of years, they have grown on me. Yup, they're a PITA to take on and off, but mine stay on all the time (my Boxster is a summer fun car). And kind of a unique look. I have yet to see another Boxster with humps in my area. Mine are OEM, but they look just like the ones above. So one vote for yes. And I think those look good on your car.
