Opinions Please

Hi.
I picked up my '98 boxster this past summer & it's winter project time.
Its got a full leather boxster red interior & was looking to do so cosmetic personalization on its exterior. This is a little photoshop work, let me know your thoughts.
Thanks in advance!

Interesting

Do what makes you happy with your Boxster that is the most important issue. however if you decide to sell it you could have limited interest to buyers as it has been personalize to your taste. Good luck with you Boxster. JW 99 Carrera 99 Boxster 87 Grand National 82 Mustang GT 95 Z-28 05 Dodge Magnum

Like it. I kind of dislike the stock boxster because its so boring looking, so a little bit of graphics and color is a big help in my opinion.

Better to remain stock and be thought a man in crisis than to aftermarket and remove all doubt.

You are totally right in this. Then I am a man in crisis. Aftermarket/boy racer I would run a mile from.

Seriously, though... take look at this thread http://forums.pelicanparts.com/boxster-cayman-forum/672619-ever-feel-like-wheel-companies-dont-have-cayman-boxster-love.html . I think these wheels look classy as hell. Do some really upscale wheels and tires and call it good. The treatment you're proposing is a little, well, garish IMO. No offense intended.

No offense taken. I'm open to the opinions. That's why I posted.
I've always gone subtle with my cars. I thought I might give this one some flash.
Thanks for the input.

Cheers.

Totally like it, looks cool and stylish
I always thought that read or orange rims look great with silver

The theme looks good, I would avoid the all red wheels, use perhaps polished rims or paint the rims body color.
