Spoiler grills seem virtually stretched, Turbo style, looks good.

Others; many of you guys pm'ed or asked for those CGT style center caps so dbl-good news I'll get a batch of those toasted as well. I'll have the lathe warm-and-busy all of February so might as well do a few dozens of those cool lookin center caps as well.

No Skybreaker (some asked). Sorry guys this will have to wait... looking at late spring or early summer but not before for sure -unless of course one of you guys wants to come over Shanghai and help out They are really fun to make... I mean... who wouldn't like to be sniffing pmma/chemical vapor for a few days in a row lolll

I'll update. Be good fellas

Fred

Please put me down for a set of the center caps!

Van, buddy, been a while. Hope all is well with you my friend. Regularly see your Boxster's pic here on my pc.... the pic with the light bouncing the front-end (petrol station pic). One of my fav. I'll get back to you on the blue when ready to anodize. Reason for that is I have two types of blue, the one everybody is familiar with (CGT's light blue) and the 'navy' tone blue. Think the latest will work best with your Box but who knows, you might prefer that light cgt blue insted. I'm including a pic of those intalled on a black wheel below so you can see what I mean. If you are undecided let me know and I'll trow in a rendering with your boxster color, silver wheels and navy blue caps.

Count you in Thx man. Silver is not available but I'm guessing you meant the gun metal tone from that other pic. If you desperately need them silver (as in silver wheel color) then they need 'painting' and that removes all of that fancy anodized effect (no reflections, etc). I know I did had a few kits professionally painted last year by the bodyshop. Worked but I wasn't entirely impressed. That gun metal anodized is similar (if not exactly the same) as the center lock you see on those gt3 and newer models. Leave that to you mate

Hah good taste, I'll certainly arrange something special for you Dwight. I'll be in touch. Please remind me... your Boxster is black colour with silver wheels right? I want to get a visual done for you to see what this would look like with the red vivo and red caps. Might end up to look quite special (I think I want to see this more than you do is possibly what's happening now loll).

Anyhow, just trowing some/same visuals from the other page just so nobody misses those. Gone all art-gaga can you guys tell

[Nine8Six]

I would hate to have those little bad boyz to loose the center stage. I'm holding myself to upload those in black, red, blue anodized colors









ps: all of these are public domain (except my car lol!) so feel free to use any of these visuals I post for photoshop purposes. Just click on them to dwload the high res version. They are all raw png and uploaded full hd (1920x)

Got to shoot to a small city in the morning for 2.5 days to attend a silly and potentially boring seminar about... I'm not saying.

Those for you my friend. We gave your ride a name already... we call it D.Machine here. Sweet set-up you got there btw bro





ps; Dwight just lower the contrast a up the brightness a tad (5%) in photoshop if your monitor or device can't take those low shades. Raw mate

The girlfriend and I make it a two Boxster family. Mine Arctic Silver, hers Dark teal Metallic. I'm thinking the gunmetal on her silver wheels and maybe the red for mine....not sure yet.
