Perk's Porsche
Hello. Bought my 99 Boxster back in February and I think I finally have her the way I want lol. Let me know your thoughts on the hard top. I bought it like new on eBay. My wife thinks I should have it painted. I like the vintage look. Here's what I have done.
18" BBS wheels with Continental Xtreme Contact tires
1" inch wheel spacers with black lug nuts and Porsche center caps
New soft top
Seats from a 2009 Cayman pulled when the car was new
White dash dials with blue led
7" Pioneer Avic-8200NEX touchscreen double din radio
Arctic white hard top

Welcome!
It looks great! The white top has got to go, though. I agree with your wife...get it painted or toss it.
The picture with the soft top up looks much better.

You could try to put film on it. I did carbon fiber for my track top.

Car looks nice. Like everyone said, she'll look much better once the hardtop is painted. May I ask questions about your seats from the 2009 Cayman? Were there any issues with them mounting directly up without any issues?

The seats were a direct fit as far as the frame. Four bolts. Could not have been easier. I had a local shop wire them up since the plugs were different. Found them on Craigslist a few hours from me. Beautiful seats.
Ok for paint should I match the car or maybe go with black to match the soft top look?

Color match the hard top, the seats look great, very nice The spacers bring the rims out more than I would like, just my opinion for whatever that's worth. All in all a great looking Boxster

Those seats are quite comfortable and supportive, think you will like that upgrade. Now...the tires.....going for a Monster Truck look? Yikes! But hey, your car and if you like it, whatever.

I agree with everyone who suggests that you match the hardtop to the car.
Otherwise, very nice.
