I think they look good, especially on a red car

looks good with the colored crests. I might add chrome lug nuts for a finished look.

PORSCHE door decals are must if you're going to skip aero.

While I'm not a fan of black wheels, I can take them better if they retain a silver lip, ala mid-eighties Fuchs on 911s. The solid black going all the way from the outer tire tread to the centercap kills it for me.

But it does look well-done!

I ordered from these guys. I got the extra stripe piece for the front bumper like on the Cayman R.

By no aero I mean no skirting or GT3 front bumper. Which would probably require you move up to 18" wheels to look right since you'd have a much bigger weel well space to fill.


Incidentally these other guys (GT3tek) are running a 20% sale until the 22nd on their polyurethane pieces (as in not cheap fiberglass).
They make a rear clip for the back bumper ($260 with the discount) similar to the Boxster Spyder and that one Special Edition 987 that I usually see in orange.
Might look good on your red Boxster since it doesn't really alter the profile of the back bumper. The black louvers would play well with the black decals and black wheels. Installation seems like a cinch.

I do like the diffusers. They look good but it seems as I you would need to cut into your bumper.
The decals or the spoiler may be next though!!

The OEM silver rims seem luxury. However, the (black rims) put your car on a whole another level. I am sorry to say, now it needs the side racing decals too!

Yea I am not going for a luxury look as my 2012 G37S would have. But I want this car (my baby) to have more of a race look. I think the decals are a good idea too!!

Looks great! Like the black wheels - don't show the brake dust as much as lighter wheels.

It uses double sided stick tape and two screws inside the wheel well on each side.
No cutting necessary
