Default Thoughts on doing a GT3RS paint scheme on my 03 Boxster S....

I really like the look of the GT3 RS paint scheme. Obviously they look perfectly in place on the GT3 or GT3 RS. I am wondering how this scheme would look on a Boxster. I would love to add either the green accents like this car below or Riviera Blue. I was thinking I would paint the wheels to match, and get the script along the side and possibly the mirrors painted. This will be a track/DE car but also driven on the street on a regular basis. Yay or Nay?

GT3 RS idea....



My car as it stands.....

If you like it on the GT3RS you will like it on the Boxster. Personally I don't. But if you do it you have to go all the way. Don't do just the stripes without the wheels or vice versa.

I have actually already done this to my Boxster.....if done right, it looks great. The car is at the race shop so I won't have pics until I either (a) head up there to check on the car; or (b) pick it up for the next event in 3 weeks.

I'll see if I can get some pics this weekend to post up.

I think it would look good. My favorite is the signal green w black decals and wheels. I think it would look best with different wheels...something like the sport design wheels or something with more spokes.

I think it would look great, but I would NOT paint the mirrors. JMHO.
