building a boxster

[Bavarian Motorist]

Cool! Why are there two sets of wheels?

[djomlas]

there are 2 couse u have a choice to buils a special edition boxster with speedster hups and color matched wheels, or regular one with soft top and chrome wheels.
but it jsut happend that the special edition wheels are the same ones that i have on my car and i have a hardtop, so its kinda nice.

attention to detail is pretty crazy, even the exhaust tip is 'chrome' add on piece.

i will post more pics later on, im in school til 10pm or so, i test fitted it and the front for some reason sits too high, so i have to play with the suspension to give it a nice stance.

where are the GT3 seats/bumper and Carrera 5 spokes !?!

Heres a tip for the exhaust manifolds, get some redish orangish spray paint, mask the muffler and the tip, Spray some of the spray paint into the air and wave the manifolds past the still floating paint, give it that realistic rust look.

So you got me looking into models from this thread and I ended up coming across a diecast of a Boxster that I thought was pretty cool. Looks just like mine!

So I ordered it for my desk at work. Maybe kinda silly, but looks really cool.

Here is the link:

that's very cool DJ.

If i send you mine, will you finish it....lol/jokes. i have the same boxster model 1/24 and it's been sitting in my closet since the day i bought it. the best part is that i have a bag of paint and brushes with it sitting collecting dust.

i think you just gave me inspiration to finish the job.

Two guesses:

1) Track Tires

2) Snows
