All,
Thanks for the nice comments. I really don't think you can go wrong with any combination
My dealer gave me $50 gift certificate for me to buy the white cornering lights or other stuffs. He said since my car is yellow just leave the yellows on for now and think about it. Can't decide...what to do...what to do...

The orange ones definitely work better on your car. I wouldn't touch them. Nice contrast. I think the white ones would look washed out on your. Your's look great

I completely agree, I haven’t seen a color I haven’t liked...

Well, I know there’s probably a good chance of Flannery and I meeting but I highly doubt I’m coming to Sweden any time soon....lol.

And yes, lots of cool colors, can’t wait to get mine in so I can join you guys.

Oh, and on a side note.... Since I haven’t found a set of wheels I want, I was going to powder coat my 20” Carrera wheels in satin black.

However, I had a chance to see a guards red 981 at the dealership with a set of satin platinum 20” Carrera wheels. The platinum looks great.

Soooo, I ordered some platinum powder coat and I guess once the car gets here, it’s gonna take another few days before I get to drive my car.

Even if you do come to Sweden, it's not very practical to bring the car... Most airlines only allow you to bring one carry-on luggage!

I'm coming, I'm coming... just a little behind you guys.

Okay, in no way did that come out right....




Another two weeks and my completion date will be here. I'm not sure how long after that but I'm assuming at least 3 weeks.

orangecrush sent you an e-mail with the follow up! All the other guys over here, if you need wheels we've done quite a few Porsche's, the Boxster shouldn't be an issue at all. Just take a look at our gallery and see what you'd like in terms of wheels!

WoW Love this car in Black!

What additional paint options did you get for this all Black look?

Exterior package painted, Interior package painted, Supplemental safety roll-bar painted in Exterior color, etc??

Thanks!!

Hi,
Other than the 20'a painted the same as the color as the metal (basalt black), there is no additional paint. Full black leather interior, black top. No other color options. Thanks for the nice comments on the car.
