Coverage and how to read this overview
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 tried an arctic silver frunk lid on a black Boxster and just couldn't get myself to like it. The lines and curves didn't go well IMO.
I do like the color combo using the side vents and top. I think the clamshell would probably work, but haven't tried.
ok, this is just getting out of hand...

wont anybody think of the boxsters??
I think it's more insurance fraud than being hated. I've seen a few vehicle that I suspect the owner got in over their head and took the insurance way out. I've seen a few boxsters with damage that looked too staged. They would have damage to them that didn't look like it was done out of anger but was done to cause the vehicle to get totaled. I bought a Ford Lightning at the insurance auction that I believe was uncaught insurance fraud. The truck was a "theft recovery" but the thieves only took a few odd things and left the supercharged motor. The supercharged motor is what really makes the Lightning different than any ordinary F150. I brought it home and started inspecting it closer. I took a sparkplug out and looked down to see daylight inside the cylinder. The motor had grenaded and poked a hole through the block. It was a small hole that you could only see from underneath. I suspect the owner blew his motor and then had it staged to look like it was stolen.
