Painted radiator intakes
 
I decided to paint the air intakes on the front bumper to match the orange Porsche graphics along the side. It was cold out and the spray paint didn't take too well. The orange is a little bit bright, but it was all that was in stock. I'm thinking about doing the air intake and the engince compartment fan intake the same color.

Here is a picture of the front bumper next to the side stripes for comparison.

Got around to painting the intakes on the side to match the radiator intakes. The orange is a little bit off from the stripes, but I think it isn't too bad.

I like it too! The Boxster and 996 are kind of plain (to my eye) so I think its nice to have a little color to add a some visual interest. Nicely done.

As long as you like it, that's all that really matters. :)

I like it, too bad you couldn't find or have the exact shade mixed up for you. Have you thought about adding any orange accents to the interior?

Fun theme... the Boxster Halloween / jack-O-lantern edition!

The Boxster Denver Broncos edition!

Ever think about dyeing the top orange? It would be bold, but could complete the orange-and-black theme. :)

PS - definitely do NOT de-amber this car! :D
