Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

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.....
Yikes!!! I'm not a fan of that scheme on a GT3 or Boxster, but the GT3 can get away with it because it's way out race car sporty. It's kind of like trying to translate a super bold paint scheme on a rice rocket sport bike (it works) to something a little more conservative, like a "sporty" BMW bike (doesn't work). I'm not out in my car trying to attract attention, maybe your objective is different.
Your car looks great now, but if you're going to go with the green wheels and stripe along the side, might as well go all out with a GT3 front facia, aero skirts along the sides and back, and a huge faux carbon fiber fixed wing on the back.
No need to wonder what it will look like. Just saw this in the classifieds:

Photoshop it electric green.
I agree with gschotland. Your car look great as it is, the only thing I would change would be the amber side markers. However, it is your car and you have to drive it so do what you want to it.
I just photo-shopped your car too, check it out, I think it looks best on black if you are to do it.
Not sure on the lettering style so just did a font I liked.

Sublety is the key with a black car, IMO.
Why would you want to bling up your gorgeous Boxster like that?
Some sort of PDE treatment would be better, but hey, that's just me and it's your car.
I'll do the same as my old engine builder, though.
We were at Road Atlanta and it was an hour before our main race time and raining like a cow pee'in on a flat rock. I asked him if he minded if we just packed up and went home. He said, "No, it's your call. I'll call you pussy the rest of your life, but it's up to you."
lol thats the problem is that all show and no go can suck for cars and already boxsters get that kind of rep being a porsche but being the slowest one.
I really had to think about the gold wheel treatment with my black on sand beige, but in the end, I wanted "Get the hell out of my way" not "look at me."
Think about a black cherry stripe at the natural highlight going from behind the headlight to the taillight on the upper side of the car. The black cherry is a flip flop style paint that comes and goes with the direction of lighting. Now it's here.........now it's not.
You already know what my thoughts are on the green graphics ," Ringling Brothers" ! As far as the gold wheels are concerned, try something like a graphite or gunmetal . Black can be a challenging color when it comes to finding a good contrast. Even different "values" of black often get lost within the main color field.
I think your black 986 looks fantastic. Very classy. While I like the headlamps better on the 987, I think the 986 looks better in black because the rear vents are body colored. I think the orange side markers look fine too.
You have a great looking car. Let it be.
