New (to me) Boxster S
I just bought a very nice S from a VW dealer. 1st Boxster for me but I have had a couple of 911. I really like the Boxster for it agility vs the 911.

Nice looking ride!
Call me demented, but I have a thing for those black turbo twist wheels.

That roll bar overlay looks real good. I'm not a big fan of yellow, but this
looks so clean I can't help but to like it

I feel so dirty because I love them.
Different subject, but interesting observation on 911s. I've driven 911's extensively on track and thought they were the bomb until I had a chance to really wring-out a Cayman S.
Wow. No comparison.

Car looks really good. Love the roll bars and rear bumper warts matching the exterior. Very clean looking.

The script is missing at the rear deck lid? Rear end damage?
Mine is the same color/age !

The 'Boxster logo delete' was actually a no cost option on my window sticker...

Thanks for all the nice comments. Here is the back with the black boxster script with a red s.
Also, the bumperettes were a DIY for under $50 bucks

Two-thumbs up for the Boxster S logo. Looks good!
Even the license plate blends!

Very nice. And I love the red S. Have to say I really like yellow in these cars. I remember last year when I was waiting to pick up my car after buying it I saw a yellow one pass by on the other side of a secondary road. Looked awesome. Congrats.

Looks great on both of your cars. My car is dark blue, so the black bumpers don't look too bad - but still my do it.
