First Car and Stance Porsche Boxster S Build!

[Dr.AK]

I like Boxters.

Here's some inspiration for you. Get it looking anywhere close to this and you'll be set!

wow! Can't wait to see more progress

[white out]

Good luck with the build!

You should be able to tuck some wide wheels by going low. I was able to tuck 996T wheels on a 996nb simply by going low and rolling the rear fenders. There is a TON of room on the front and you'll probably need some spacers for the front.

I am talking to KW because they may have sent me the wrong coilovers. If they made a mistake they said they may send me the KW Variant 3!!!

They won't get back to me for a few days because of Christmas. Bummer since I won't be able to put the coils on now until I know the problem.

The adjustment knob they gave me doesn't work to adjust the dampening.
Has anybody had these coils with these weird knobs?

Thanks
That's awesome.
Did you have to cut the fender tabs?

My plans for the future are some nice 3pc wheels.
Roll the fenders and a minor pull if I have to.

Plasti dipped the wheels temporarily to see if I like it, I will get them powdercoated later.
Still need to clean the overspray.

I put the wheel on to see what it looks like. Looks fresh!
I think the black center caps compliment the black lugs nicely.

Should I keep the gloss black center caps or use white ones?

all the money you put into plasti dipping you could've got some new wheels.

I love the Boxster's and have had a few of them.. I didn't find the lowered pictures, and I didn't go as low as some of the other cars pictured, but it did look much better than pictured here. I did this car as a quick freshen up, and most people wouldn't like it, but it sold quick because there is someone always looking for unique... LOL

^ that wing

can't wait to see some low and sick wheels on your car OP!

Sorry for the long update, I was real busy and the daily driver blew up because of bad valve lifters. Looking for another cheap DD. Any suggestions?
Thinking of an Audi A4 or something sporty that is a manual for under $5,000.

I have painted the wheels gloss white now and readjusted my exhaust pipes to be equal.
I also installed the front coilovers but am still working on the rear ones. I don't have pics of it yet.
More updates coming soon.

Finally got the coilovers on. Waiting for it to settle so I can go lower. I'll post some real pics soon.
