Regarding the plastic and other protections, I'm glad they do things to keep the finishes from incidental damage.

You definitely have fantastic-looking car, both inside and out. That interior is so fine too! I'm with Willy on the wheels - it's good to see a bit of a return to silver or at least a bit of brightness, such as polished front surfaces that Porsche and others are offering.

Love the tan, we have it in our Macan S and it just stays so much cooler. Do you have a tan top also on your topless mistress?

Just curious as I saw a red with tan top Boxster running around Omaha a couple of days back and he also had silver wheels -- thought he might have a twin with yours?

I didn't know that was an option when I ordered mine or I might have checked that box

Just happened to see the car the other day and he is not in our local PCA Club so I was trying to catch him, but was in my Ram truck and he was exercising his Boxster , ha. He had silver wheels also and as I mentioned , I just really like the Classic look.

There is definitely a different level of covering as the price increases. It is amazing how some Manufacturers have responded to Dealer concerns against damage, and I do attribute it to many of us "Motörheads " ( proper German name for a Gearhead ) who should we say, tend to be a bit picky. I have to compliment Dodge as the head honcho there, Tim Kuniskis, listened to the Dealership I worked at and others about front splitter damage and came up with the yellow covers that have become the rage for Challenger and Charger drivers. Sure , it is a bit funny, but they work as so many were getting damaged from being loaded or unloaded on the trucks. I commend many of the Automotive Companies for ensuring the cars are in quality condition and Porsche has always been at the forefront with so many vehicles coming across the ocean. My Cayman GTS came over with nary a scratch and the plastic coverings are placed in very strategic positions, because Porsche is concerned as much with sweaty and oily hands getting in and out of the vehicles as door dings and more. It is quite impressive to see a GT4RS, a Turbo S, GT3, etc. come in a Dealership in it's sleeping bag, so thanks for posting RD !!
