These are cooler and offer more HP. And, you get to call it a 987.

I think they would look out of place in a stock boxster but if you had a particular theme going on they can be a nice addition. NO STICKERS THOUGH

Interesting,but you might get tired of it after a while.imo

Getting back to the actual thread - I like it! Easy to change when u get tired of it, and a nice touch. I may copy you!

I like it, but I think additional red accents are needed some where else on the car. How Did you do it? Paint or plastic wrap?

He needs a red "S" to go with it!

if you want to accent , i think these would look betterhttp://986forum.com/forums/uploads01...1404055971.jpg

I have a red 986 emblem on the back. I figured red in the tails, red calipers, red emblem would go with red accented vents.

The vents are just covered with red duct tape just to get an idea of how it looks. Not sure if I am sold on it or not.

Those are essentially black, wouldn't even be able to see the contrast from more than 5 feet on my car.

I've tangled with this one, as well. I tried out some different combinations with the green to match my calipers.

The setup that I liked best was a green painted mesh screen behind the stock black louvres. It was more subtle than painting the louvres to match. I have not done it yet, but plan to with a wider mesh (something like 5mm) set back about 1.5cm from the louvres.

Something like this photoshop.

I like this thought

I love my silver-painted strakes. I think they coordinate well with my silver wheels and dashboard alum-look silver dash vent slats. It is relatively easy to do, although you do need to mask the very bottom of the driver's side strakes in order for the bottom strake to look like a bar...if you look carefully at yours you will see that below the bottom strake Porsche filled-in the space, probably to prevent water intrusion. I used Rustoleum 7271 silver paint and some clear-coat, and deliberately did not sand the strakes smooth, because the crinkly surface makes the silver paint "pop."

Not my cup of tea.

I actually just bought a can of red plastiDip today. I'm going to do mine and will post here. If I hate it, it'll peel right off!

Looking forward to the pics.

Looks really NICE!

I actually think it's hard to improve on the looks of a 986 without making it look tacky (except for rims).

Says the guy that calls wheels "rims", haha! :D :p

Just messing around :matchup:
