i really like the red bumpers :dance:

redeye280z 06-29-2012 02:16 AM

Thanks guys I painted the black bumperrettes I find it gives the car a cleaner newer look. I am looking into deambering the car now.

Do I need to go look in my garage to make sure my car is still there!...I have those rims also...nice to see them on another red Boxster!.

Hi, nice clean car love those mags...

Where in Montreal did you get the windshield replaced and how much?

iceberg 07-05-2012 07:45 PM

Wow...that's a beauty! What size of tires/ wheels did you put on?

redeye280z 07-06-2012 02:19 AM

Thanks guys I appreciate the comments. The wheels are 18 and I just installed new tires. The windshield was replaced while the car was at my Body shop. My body man setup the windshield replacement through a guy that does all his work. Very professional work. If you ever need body done I would recommend him.

My next project is to change the headlights I really don't like the amber. If anyone hears of a good deal I would be interested.

redeye280z 07-06-2012 02:22 AM

The tires are the Hankook evo v12

redeye280z 07-06-2012 02:24 AM

I lucked out on the windshield I was able to get an OEM windshield installed for 700. I think the going rate for windshield replacement is about 900.

Wow, what a gorgeous car! Congrats!

doragman 07-10-2012 05:20 PM

agree....very nice

Wingnut2u 07-10-2012 05:23 PM

Very nice, but then again I am partial to Guards Red

particlewave 07-12-2012 02:53 PM

I'm not a normally a fan of Guards Red, but those wheels and tires really make the color pop! Very clean stock look(I'm so glad to see that you didn't add a tacky spoiler)! Jmo, but I'd leave the amber. Looks amazing. :)

redeye280z 07-12-2012 09:03 PM

I'm trying to leave the car as stock as possible just not sure about the amber yet. Thanks for the positive comments. Never thought owning a car could be so much fun.

curt0721 08-22-2012 03:04 PM

Very nice-are those front grills black? stock? I just painted mine as I did not like the faded grey-stood out too much. :)

97 Guards Red/Blk with 23K MILES

redeye280z 08-24-2012 02:13 AM

The grills are actually grey. I guess the angle of the picture makes it look black.
