This has been out for a long time now and has been pretty much universally considered "appalling" from what I can tell.

The fog lights look like they'll be severely impacted and need to be replaced about once a month and the amount of debris collected in those side vents would be....suffocating.

Nice wheel but not everything else IMO. I'm biased since I have the wheel on my box

I'm pretty sure those are TechArt Formulas. They are my favorites -well, actually my favorites are the Formula GTS (same rims, but in black)! I let a set of those slip away from me on eBay long ago and have been sad ever since.

I thought the front looked good on this car, didn't care for the back.

Thumbs down

The thing that makes the Boxster look so fantastic to me are the curves, clean lines and simplicity, reminiscent of the original Spyder. The TechArt mod takes all of those away and replaces them with jagged lines that break up the movement of the eye over the lines and curves. :chicken:

Nope. I am with you too. I think this car looks awesome. Of course I am very fond of the super aggressive look that Porshes can take on so easily.
