I like the spoiler on that, its basically the Carrera GT. That sorta goes with 986 style.
But I don't think those intakes? outakes under the tali lights work at all.
The fenders on the 986 have soft curves and I really don't like when I see
these hard Import Tuner-like features. I'd take that out for sure.

The best car to look at if you want to modify the rear end of a 986 is a 2000-20003 Ferrari 360. It doesn't have any of these gimicky features. It relies on the very subltle shapes and lines. I feel like the Boxster went a bit wimpy in this department for its front and rear bumpers in stock form.

Now another glaring problem with that car^
The Boxster is a sports car made for the twisties in top down fun.
That car looks like it wouldn't handle a full opposite lock turn for more
than two seconds before the rubber departed the alloy.

and those side skirts... get them back on the SCION TC.

Kronix, that yellow box you posted, the sideskirts I like, however, I think the rear is a bit too 'fat'. It makes the box looks very rear heavy and not nimble at all.
