Official Blue Boxster Thread

Ok, there is the official black and yellow threads, the unofficial white thread but nothing for Blue? So I am going to start the Official Blue Boxster thread. I figure all of the Blues (Lapis, Ocean and Zenith) can all get along on one thread. Actually, I love all three hues! I almost bought a Zenith but then ended up with Lapis! So post your best pics:cheers:

Sorry, I forgot about Midnight:eek: of course it counts. When I did a search, I searched for "Blue", "official" and "unofficial" but for some reason I didn't see that thread? Oh well, now we have a "Blue" thread where all shades are welcome! :cheers:

Geez, I see I even posted in there! Sucks getting old!

I have had my Lapis Blue for three weeks now, lots of fun!

Love Van914's wheels. Been looking for 18" wheels that I like without luck.

Here's my 2001. I personally love the color combination. No mods. Just crossed 60,000 miles. Haven't spent 3 seconds thinking about the IMS. Really fun to drive, as you already know.http://986forum.com/forums/uploads01...1382280783.jpg

Mike D - Your's is definitely beautiful. Wish I didn't worry about IMS, because I would like to drive my car to Chicago, but am afraid to until I have the IMS replacement completed. Mine is a '03, which seems to be more prone to the IMS problem than the earlier models. :(

That blue is amazing! :cool:

2000 with 70,000 miles. Triple Blue. Ocean Blue ext. Metropol interior and Motropol Blue top.

When really shined up, Blue is the best! Lot's of comments. Owned for 3 years and have put 20,000 miles on her. I never hesitate to drive long trips. That is what it is for, to drive and enjoy.

Those painted consoles look great!!!

I just picked up my Lapis Blue last week. I've only just started cleaning her up. I hope to have it looking flawless in the coming weeks.

I've started getting my new (to me) Lapis Blue to a point where I'm excited about it. Here I've polished part of it, and put the 18" Carreras on.

There's still more work to be done, but I'm pretty happy so far.

Ray,

I am selling them. Here is the craigslist posting:

17" Wheels

But it would be difficult to get them to Chicago.

Tony

Really nice. Well done.
Cheers,
Resmas

It's been a long 4.5 months in storage but the weather was nice enough this weekend so I took her out and got it warmed up, changed the oil and slapped on the new rims. I'll take some better pics this summer but here she is for now to join the BLUE thread.

You all have very nice roadsters. I just came into possession of a Lapis Blue/ gray and would like to change the stock 5 spoke twist to perhaps another color. You think I could pull off a Gloss White? Have not seen one on our roadsters but many other cars and look great. What say you all?

I think silver is as far as I would go. White is a bit much and would be a pain to keep clean.

I like the ocean blue.

I had the original 5 spoke wheels on it as well and decided to change them to the 10 spoke and have them powder-coated. I had the front/side vents and center caps painted to match and of course did the side PORSCHE stripe. I think the contrast looks great with the Lapis Blue. I see you are in Pasadena, maybe see you around sometime!!:cheers:

Drew, I think that's a pretty nice signature myself. Better than I thought it would be. Socal? We should do a local run sometime. My Wilson, Crystal Lake, Glendora Mt Rd? Supercarsunday? Want to see it in person. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks, its a simple DIY front meshes, surrounded with chrome trim strips and fastened with cable wire zip.
I have no problem with airflow, it protects the radiator from mud/debris, and stays clean inside the radiator.

Checking into the Blue Boxster thread... I recently purchased my 2000 Boxster S. One owner with 38k miles. Thanks to everyone for all the technical support!!

So, don't share this with those silly silver Boxster owners - you know how they get - but isn't it GREAT owning the best Boxster color!?! ;)

Absolutely, I LOVE the Blue!

Heres my new to me 2004 Boxster. Midnight blue, carrera lights, yellow calipers. I bought her about 3 months ago.
