Bran now owns a plotter.

Sticker bomb alarm! :D ;)

BRAN 10-18-2023 11:24 AM

Yup...there are even more on the car now ;)
After 3 years of internet research a pair finally showed up in Germany. OEM 996/986 wood trims in general are becoming really rare these days.
Speaker covers in dark burl wood, never installed and flawless.

Now I just need to find a left side dash air vent with gray leather grills...
Oh, and I got myself Porsche Cocoa leather, to tackle my lower dash. Getting the perfect glue is key.

It just keeps getting better! My favorite Boxster except maybe for a couple of mine.

Photoshop + plotter + bubbles in your head = creativity valve :D
http://986forum.com/forums/uploads02...1701549596.jpg
This is my photoshoped concept. Can I realise it? ...a rethorical question :D

Next: Hood design...

BTW: Would it be possible to have an active suspension kit, where I could (besides the dampening) lower OR increase ground clearance on the fly/electronically? Kind of like a lift system...
I found these guys https://tractivesuspension.com/automotive/
but not sure of the ride height can be adjusted "electronically". Not really looking for an air suspension kit.

BRAN 12-03-2023 08:58 AM

okay...going to town with my decals...

oh look what I found...a Boxster Dakar accessory...let's see....yup, fits

now I only need some Pirelli Scorpions and I am ready to rallye :cheers:

My plotter is fun, no doubt. But I guess the next toy will be a 3D printer, which can tackle bigger items :D

Need to finalise the Boxman, ah Cayster. Not a big fan of rear wings especially on a Boxster, but that rear hatch needs a ducktail with integrated grills for sure. And better fitting....:cheers:

78F350 12-21-2023 03:44 PM

That spoiler design looks great with the top. We need to see it with all the decals. That yellow 9/86 is awesome. I may have to steal the design later.

That ducktail really looks great. 👍

The one on this would look good too.

I am not a big fan of Boxster wide body kits, and the following is a little too wide for my taste, but the concept is just wow. We have seen a few tries here and there and they all failed, but this guy (almost) nailed it.

I would think just the trunk lid / spoiler would sell if it fit on a 986. Reminded me of you Photoshop below.

I would say all of those parts would sell. It seems, that he still is developing that kit, as the latest one is on a 987. Yup, I guess the ducktail is everyone's favourite.:D

Photoshop is essential for testing concepts and finalizing designs.
Photoshop concept of front hood:

different "WIP" stages of cutting up my existing stripe design...

Love it! :D:cheers:

THX :cheers:
Front hood completed, for now. Cutting on paint is not for the faint of heart.

A Boxster Safari :eek:...I guess it is just a roller, but man, If I could jack a suspension up like that just for winter time or beach times, that would be a dream. :cheers:
