One more track day this October, then only rallies and PCA Maverick Sunday drives after that. She'll still be my DD though.

Arena Red was the color on the Boxster that I saw advertised that got me searching for Boxsters earlier this year. Definitely one of my favorite colors so far. I told my wife that original Boxster I saw back in April is actually still for sale. Makes me wonder if there is something wrong with it, either way I need to find the time to go and check it out.

Paint matching?
I am planning to respray my front bumper and hood due to numerous stone chips. Normally, red is hard to color match. If anyone has resprayed select panels, was the body shop able to match the color to the rest of the car? Thanks.

Stepped over the other side of the law today and removed my front license plate and holder. Installed some homemade bumper plugs and painted the front vents with black truck bed liner. Touched up some small rock chips and debugged the front bumper cover.
The end result is very different than before. I know I'm risking a "no front plate" ticket, but I don't think it's enforced that diligently here in the DFW Metroplex. One of my buddies is a local police officer, and he doesn't run a front plate on his Corvette Grand Sport. When I texted him to tell him I was ready to turn myself in to the authorities, he advised me to remove the rear plate also, and just floor it if a LEO attempts to stop me. Anyone ever try this? :rolleyes: http://986forum.com/forums/uploads01...1414012030.jpg Before http://986forum.com/forums/uploads01...1414011963.jpg After Next I'm going to make a homemade tow hook plate holder, so I can slap my plate on quickly if I'm going out in the boonies through the "revenue generating" towns.

^^^^^^You rebel you Tom, welcome to the dark side! At least you didn't go and put a "fictitious" plate on:eek:

The day I bought 'er.

Nice lookin' Box, but that's not Arena Red.
Post a pic of the white label inside your front trunk lid, and we'll be able to tell you the factory color. I'm guessing it's Orient Red. Just sayin'.......... TO |

I've had a few boxsters to choose from as they came into my salvage yard. One would come in and I would say to myself "this will be the boxster I'm keeping". Then a nicer boxster would come in and then I would make it the boxster I'm going to keep. That's until I got this arena red boxster on Friday. This one was too nice to part out, so I've decided to make it my personal boxster. It only has 52,000 with the black leather interior package and rear speakers. All this time I've been waiting for the right boxster, I've been collecting parts. I have the following. Hard top Short shifter GT3 bumper cover and side skirts Rear wing 03 rear bumper cover clear headlights (future projector upgrade) tinted taillights and side 996 cluster Headers and either a dansk sausage or Chinese made aftermarket muffler(need to see which one I think sounds better) 18 inch wheels (forget brand but they look like Fiske) coilovers I sold the motor already and plan on jumping up to a 3.4 as soon as I can afford/find a good one |
You're right! That's way too nice to part out. Which brings up how'd you come across it? You sold the engine, was it running? If so why did someone let this go to a dismantler? Fantastic score and sounds like you have the parts to customize very nicely! Congrats!!:cheers:

The arena red isn't my favorite color, but I can live with it. I'm brainstorming the idea of a two tone paint job. I'm thinking about having something like this but without all those lines http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l129/kbristol6/p01a.jpg |
