I figured I might as well join in. I think seal grey gives the box a very classic porsche look compared to some of the other color options. Just my 02 worth...

I guess you are right, just takes a lot of experience and a good camera to shoot under "low light" conditions...i will figure it out someday :rolleyes:

Tail lights (with NOWA module)...difficult to take a proper picture of, at least for me :rolleyes:

Hi Bran - may I ask where you purchased the Aerokit I side skirts and how much they set you back?

I too have a seal gray Boxster and have been toying with adding these. I think I've talked myself out of upgrading the front bumper due to cost and ease of scraping. But the side skirts....
I have updated the rear.

[QUOTE=507fan;432275]Hi Bran - may I ask where you purchased the Aerokit I side skirts and how much they set you back?

Hi 507fan,

yours and the BMW507 are awesome cars:cheers:
I have never seen a rear bumper like yours, it resembles somehow the Boxster concept style, very nice. --> we need more info ;)

Aerokit I side skirts (primed): I got mine from a Porsche dealership, the whole shebang (see photo) set me back ~1000$

Without the expensive glue set (IMO only necessary for the front and rear parts of the kit and probably worth it then) ~ 750$
You can buy equivalent (certified) glue for much less, ~30$

BTW: Keep in mind, that you have to srew 11 special "screw-bolts" into each side of your car to fixate the rails....:eek:...I think it is worth it.

BRAN 01-21-2015 05:31 AM

http://986forum.com/forums/uploads01...1421849570.jpg

takes a strong arm and a (professional) power-tool to drill those screw-bolts into the metal :matchup:
Drilling holes beforehand is not recommended due to corrosion issues.

Take your time!!
...if you slip off while drilling, pushing with full power --> free dents and scratch marks :D

507fan 01-24-2015 01:22 PM

Thank you for your quick and thorough responses. I really enjoy the Boxster community and this forum in particular for that reason. I reached out to two members whose cars I really liked for information on their upgrades. They were both phenomenally friendly and helpful.

Attached below / to the '01 rear bumper is a Gemballa rear diffuser.
The 'black warts' were replaced with the color matched from Bumper Plugs.
The de ambering is courtesy of the Depot replacements that are widely discussed on the forum. I am pleased with everything.

Thanks again!

BRAN 01-31-2015 12:18 PM

I love that prototype hardtop Eric523 created in the Boxster racing forum section.
Wish someone would create a carbon type (D.Morris is just 2-3 inches too high for my taste, with a sup-optimal rear window) of the following one: :D

A couple new shots. I guess the triple grey is fairly rare. Who knew?

She's a little dirty, but liked the pics. http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/15...7e376e1bab.jpghttp://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/15...1fcb1f8415.jpg

2002 boxster seal grey waiting for winter to end.......

njbray 02-26-2015 04:00 PM

I waited months until the right Seal Grey one came along! I like to be inconspicuous and I think this colour really suits Porsches. I get a lot of compliments. I originally thought of buying a black one and respraying it in Porsche flat grey.
I really like grey cars:)

Seal grey
 
I have a Seal Grey S with all grey interior [slightly lighter] which is my ideal combination.
Top is black but it's down most of the time anyway.
April weather in UK at the moment is better than southern Spain!http://986forum.com/forums/uploads01...1428588718.jpg

Here's my 2002 Seal Gray
 
Have had to replace the plastic rear window.
Also had to repair the LCD of the climate display.
Have added colored logo caps to the wheel centers.
2nd owner, but have had Blitz for 8 years.

Well - I'm jealous because no matter how hard I look, I haven't been able to find a seal grey Boxster to add to my collection.

So - here's a picture of a grey seal until I have my own seal grey Boxster.

Seriously - you guys all have beautiful cars - I'll be happy when I can find the right one!
