We stayed with friends a while back who have a 2008 base manual Cayman, which incidentally has my all-time favorite dark brown interior leather (Cocoa I 'think.'). I drove it around for errands and such and remember thinking it was just about a perfect sports car. So balanced, tight, and engaging to drive. That's probably why I still have my 944 next to my 992. They're both fun, but in an entirely different way, and there's no 'winding it out' in the 992...Arne2 wrote: Sat Mar 29, 2025 8:54 am My Rhodium Silver 2018 Base 2.0L. Primarily a road tripper.

Ok guys, first post ever! 2017 Graphite Blue Metallic 718 Boxster S 2.5L (tuned to 400+ HP) w/under 20K miles and LOTS of mods. Here's a list of everything I've done so far:
-Front spoiler lip - 991 conversion from a company called Emc2
-Front radiator screens
-Side vent screens
-Clear side markers
-PDLS+ style headlights
-Full PPF
-Frunk and trunk liners
-Frunk and trunk lid liners
-Porsche windshield lettering and tint
-Driver and passenger door lettering
-High-flow air filter
-COBB stage 1 tune
-Upgraded battery
-Ceramic brake pads
-Upgraded gas cap
-Fabspeed X-pipe exhaust
-Custom muffler baffle delete (sounds MEAN!)
-Spyder ducktail (painted to match)
-Aftermarket rear diffuser
-Wheel debris protectors (front)
-Euro impulse leather shifter
-Ceramic coating
-Plexiglass rear wind deflector w/etched Porsche crest
-SmartTop one-touch + key fob top control
-Blendmount rearview mirror radar detector mount for Escort Max 360c
-Eibach lowering springs
-Custom designed 20" 2-piece wheels
-Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires (Front: 235/35/20, Rear: 295/30/20)
-10mm wheel spacers rear, 7mm front
-Torx head titanium lug bolts
The color is the same for all pics, however the color of the Graphite Blue Metallic paint can vary significantly depending on the time of day and the light.

Hey ReidMcT, some info for you regarding the items you requested:
-Wheel debris protectors: "TLG Guards" from Kies Motorsports: https://www.kiesmotorsports.com/product ... be30&_ss=r
-Custom designed 20" 2-piece wheels: I completed the purchase from a company called "Tianjin Dunhui Trade Co, Ltd" (https://dunhuicn.en.alibaba.com/) in China via the Alibaba.com "messages" interface. My sales rep's name was "Suen LiAng" and his responses to my messages were always in English (although they were sometimes a bit odd because I believe he was using a Chinese-to-English translation tool). Although the wheels I selected were custom-made to my specifications, they have LOTS of wheels to choose from, and they can customize anything based on the size and offset you're looking for. I selected the 20" x 8.5" front with +47ET and 20" x 11" rear with +45ET for my 718 Boxster S. You may want to go with 10.5" in the rear if you're looking for more of a stock fitment. The total cost was much less than 1/2 of what I was quoted in the US (I paid just under $2K), and the shipping wasn't too bad at about $250. The entire process took about 2 months from design to receipt, so you'll have to be patient if you want this to work. Of course, this was all pre-tariffs so I'm not sure what the cost would be now.
Pic of my wheels being forged! Hope this helps!
