Got a few requests for pictures, so...
I was too modest to post these when I joined the forum, but I am flattered that I got a few requests to post when peeps read about my yellow. Despite the good natured flak I am catching here and at home, I still love the color! These were taken in the showroom at the dealer in Cleveland, where I found her! (I hope I attached them right or I am gonna get more flak  )

mantis - beautiful! that car just looks right in yellow - if the dealer would've had a yellow one similar to my black, i'd probably have gone yellow! not too mention, so much easier to keep clean and beautiful vs black.
any consideration to painting sidevents yellow, getting yellow seatbelts and replacing gauge faces with yellow?

But, But, But.... It's YELLOW!
Kidding. I think it looks fantastic. Only sports cars (and taxis) look good in yellow. My wife looks pretty good in yellow, but she's not a sports car.... Or a taxi.
Very nice. I like how you keep it at the dealer. SMART! If you take it out you'll only get it wet or dirty or break something. You wouldn't believe the problems and arguments THAT causes!
It's probably best if you just let someone on this forum drive it for you. What? I humbly accept. See you at 8:00....

Hmm Mach - I will have to photoshop the vents and gauges to see what that would look like! But look below, already have the seat beats!

********************in' - didn't notice the belts on the first gander! surprised the gauges weren't yellow. something i may eventually do to mine, in addition to the yellow belts - think it would make a very cool contrast to the black/black/black with the yellow brake calipers.
definitely think the vents painted same color (heck, maybe even the cayman vents, since you can order them in factory color) would look awesome!
but, don't get me wrong, the car as is is very cool - enjoy it and drive it like it's meant to be driven!!!

Wow - thank you all so much for your kind words and suggestions. Was nice to read these after 2 hell days of traveling, crummy hotels, food and airport delays! Wife even loves the car and woke me up at 5:15 am and wanted to go driving in the mountains!
Yes, you guessed it .... I said it....
"So, you wanna play with my short shifter?"

Denverpete is right. My car is often mistaken for a school bus, and yours probably will be, too.
Let me know how long it takes for the belts to start getting grubby from running through the black belt guides. Black belts, black belt guides ... no problem. Yellow belts, black belt guides ... problem. But maybe Porsche has seen the light and changed the material in the belt guides since '99 so it doesn't discolor the belts.
Anyway, beautiful car, and just the right color. There is a reason about half the cars in the Porsche ads are yellow.

Hmmm. I haven't quite figured out why Ronzi likes the yellow Boxster so much. It's right there, but I can't put my finger on it.....

i didn't notice it before, but very cool how the dealership de-ambered the sidemarkers with the euro clear ones.
i hope you don't have any of the dreaded vibration probs with your 987 that i continue to have with mine.

Beautiful. Just my style. I tried to jump into a yellow 2002 Box S with the painted rollbars and yellow seatbelts, but was a day too late, and ended up with a red one. But those basic options are what I would have chosen and what I will go with when I buy my next one. And I like your taste in the wheels... not those blocky Carrera S wheels.
