Great advice, I'll definitely de-amber the lenses (I'll try it this week) and surprisingly I've never seen that lip before, unfortunately that would put me in a different autoX class though. Out of curiosity where is a good place to get a lip, besides ebay? I've decided to go with a white hood, and red numbers on the doors and hood (with a white outline). Magnus is using Bauhaus 93 which might look a little odd on something newer like a boxster. What do you guys think?

Well I took my first pass at the decals this afternoon. I'm not really happy with it, the 130 is in the wrong spot and the other stickers don't quite flow yet. Luckily I have spares to try and rearrange them. I also got the wrap in for the hood, I'll try and knock that out tomorrow night. Any suggestions? In person the red numbers pick up on the red interior and calipers which helps quite a bit.

If you want to jazz up Lapis blue I would do this:
Wheels:
Two stage plasti-dip. First coat black. Second gold gold. paint your lugs black.
body:
Martini stripes down the hood and rear trunk. The WIDE Martini stripes not the subtle narrow ones.
The front stripe with your number in the middle or the Martini Logo.
Plasti dip the back of the roll hoops in either red or light blue to compliment the stripes.
Door numbers in red with a white border.
and since you already have 18" wheels:
Install a lip spoiler up front. Try doing a red plasti dip with a gloss coat.
Might come out nice without having to take it to a body shop.
And paint some of the bottom of the rear bumper in red to match the front.
p.s.
And do Particle Wave's Dremel de-ambering of your headlights. It will really pull together the colors much better.
That much orange thrown in there is really distracting.
