    Wow! Nice job. I think Porsche did a great job when they redesigned the Boxster.

    Damn. I've never seen a boxter like that. Must be the top end boxter as i;ve never seen a boxter with that type of interior or styling. It really looks damn good though. Nice work!

    The spyder version was a limited edition of the most previous body style of the boxster. That is not actually the new redesigned boxster like the 2013 ones.

    That being said, the boxster spyder is IMO the sexiest car ever designed, and that write up made my wet my pants!

    Just sad he changed the wheels :(

    Great job Phil. Really nice. That being said....I actually liked the original rims a bit better.

    I love this car as well, looks great Phil and I kinda like the updated "Fuchs" wheel. Sport seats with the Alcantara are "The Tightness" (even though I would NOT fit in them) just did a white one with Daniel last week and the car really handles well according to the client I did the car for.
