It doesn't lessen the gap at all but by filling the empty area below the doors the car doesn't seem like its sitting as high.
And it's a proven fact that cooler looks can get you near 1.0 g's on the skidpad.

Damn that is sharp...

Man that looks stupid! How to take a great car and make it useless. I bet it's got a big subwoofer just to add an extra level of annoying.

Wow. Just how fkn stupid do you have to be to do that to a Boxster I wonder? As hard as it might be to believe, I'll bet the owner actually thinks that is cool and has no idea that people pointing at his car are laughing at him.

Mine is stock. I'm not one of those individuals that thinks he can improve on millions of dollars worth of factory R&D by spending a couple of hundred bucks on sparkly things at the local speed shop . Stretched tires not only look stupid, but are inherently unsafe, despite the bleating by their proponents of "I've been doing it for years and never had a problem". Setting a street car lower than practical dramatically increases risk of loss of control from grounding out and transferring the weight from the rubber to the underside.
You want a car that drags on the ground, buy a '63 Impala and change your name to Carlos. Don't wreck a great car in some futile attempt to impress your posse.
Not that I have a strong opinion on this or anything....

If you donīt like, why do you give here then unnecessary, stupid comments from? Mainly because you donīt know my car and no idea from, what it was made, and above all what is plugged into much money and technology in it. Enjoy your stock Boxster and let others do with their car, as they please.
PS: I like the Impala and Carlos is a nice name! ;-)

Hey, you posted your pic and asked for opinions. You should have said that you just wanted to hear the opinions that you would like and I would have kept mine to myself.

Mark, the starters question was to ask for showing lowered Boxsters. If you have only a stock one and you donīt like the lowered ones, why do you discuss here? No matter what do you like or think but donīt tell any stupid thinks about my car or my work, when you never see it in person or drive with it! ;-)
cheers Frank
