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...

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:

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.

@rjbasch

Great list of things done to your car - and a very nice718 Boxster too - it's a great-looking car!! Thanks for sharing and posting the excellent photos.

So, even though you signed up way back in early 2023, seeing as how this is your first post, Welcome to Carpokes!!

My first choice on color , but no longer available when I ordered my GTS --- stunning and yes, I am a bit envious, ha!

Can you share more details about these items? Thanks!

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.
