Hey,

Thanks for the kind words. I appreciate it. Today was a great ragtop day here in the East. Got a hell of a sunburn. I hope everyone else had similar weather.

Y2BOX,

Yes, the wheels are 19s. Everyone told me not to put them on a '97, but I never listen. They're 19x8s with 235s in the front and 19x9.5s in the rear with 275s. The rims are TSWs and they were very reasonable. They kind of remind me of a modern interpretation of Fuchs. I have a couple of '67 912s. The one I'm restoring now will be silver and black. I'm hoping they'll look like a matched set.

Richard,

Yes they're aftermarket diffusers from Performance Products. I like them. They fit really well. I also put the bright exhaust trim on and changed out the exhaust.

Flyride and Marc,

The wing came from Mid America Motorworks. Simple bolt on. I thought it was something different without being obnoxious.

Thanks again for the great forum. The information I've gathered here so far has been really helpful...plus you guys crack me up.

i am so glad i did not buy the boxster humps and rear bumper diffuser..both aftermarket body kits takes away the smooth and sexy curve appeal of the boxster.

also why use 19 inch on a boxster? sacrifice road feel and performance vs looks.
just my opionion.





:ah:

Aaaaah! But thank God that we all don't have the same opinions on looks. What a boring world that would be.

I think your wife's Boxster looks great Griz.

In addition, not all of us can afford to pay for the upgrades...!
