Default Got my 987.2 Boxster build back from Fabspeed (Pic heavy)

Actually picked it up the day of the Fabspeed open house but wxr has been crap so today was first real sunny day to grab some quick pics. Fabspeed was phenomenal! They did everything I asked, no matter how many times I said "just one more thing..." I couldn't be happier with the look, sound, power, feel and ride of the car right now. Dan Porter at Magnagrafix did the artwork from scratch.
Fabspeed did:
Tracktec valved exhaust
ECU tune
PSS9 Coilovers
IPD Plenum with GT Throttle Body
GT3 Master Cylinder
GT3 seats
5 point's
AJ Hartman CF Dive Planes
Full Livery
Stainless lines

I also have a hardtop in Silver, OZ wheels with R compounds going on for my first DE in this car Sunday, a GT3 front bumper on the way.
The spoiler is actually the lower trim piece from a 987.2 Cayman with a Cayman aftermarket duckbill.

Here are the pics. First few are from the pickup, the rest are from today...

Thanks Jerry, they really were phenomenal. John G. John B and Bobby Ashton plus all the techs really went above and beyond... I couldn't be happier.

Thanks HoBoJoe! Going to take her out the first time on Sunday with NASA for a little shakedown Just put the hardtop on this morning, just need to swap the wheels and install the rear stabilizer bar with tie downs and tie downs up front and ready to go!!

Still grinning ear to ear

Are you a GG distributor, or just an alcoholic?

Nice car, looks great!

Paul it was fantastic meeting you in person at the GT4 meet, and a pleasure to watch your build come together at your facility. Seeing/hearing how satisfied you are really helps fuel the positive atmosphere we have here. We very much appreciate the kind words, and look forward to seeing more of you in the future!

Hope to see you out on the track this season

Thanks Marvinta! I will get a good video this weekend. It sounds phenomenal under load. The FabSpeed Tracktec is incredible. This video does it no justice at all https://flic.kr/p/G7Qpm8

MJBird993, just a fan and Long time customer LOL!! Always like their bottle, was going to do Martini and decided I wanted something more unique that worked with the color of the car. Dan Porter at magnagrafix did all the artwork from scratch for me. He was phenomenal!! Can't say enough good things!

Thanks John! Bobby, John, the techs, everyone was amazing, was at the BodyMotion event tonight and referred a few people to you guys when they heard the tracktec and wanted to know all about it... It was a great experience all around, would never hesitate to recommend you guys to anyone and I know I will be back lol!

Thanks Zeus! I am really happy with how it turned out... It is a grin evoking drive

Thanks rackhenry, really appreciate it, I definitely went out on a limb lol!!

BTW, track wheels went on today for Sunday too... Pagid pads going in first thing tomorrow and hardtop getting fit tomorrow as well... Hardtop came in silver and I am thinking of leaving it silver, it looks pretty good.
