Quote from: RRocket on May 06, 2026, 12:25 AMOh! I drove the car today, in the rain, to get some groceries.

Because of the cloudy gray skies, there was no light to make the metallic in the paint pop.

In this case, the car looked like a pale dijon mustard beige color.

Far more than any car I've owned, the color is influenced wildly by available light. And I've only owned it a couple of days!
Some of the best colors on vehicles are the type that change dramatically in different light settings.  I wonder if someone will ask you if it's a wrap just because it's such an uncommon color.

Can't remember from the ad, or you... but is the car lowered? It looks like it in the pictures... if so, is it just lowering springs, or coil-overs? Also wondering because you said the ride was quite good.

Still shop this gen of Boxster, just to see what's out there & track the prices. Kinda miss having a drop top, so if I were to switch out the 997, it would be for a 981 Boxster S  ;D

It was lowered on H&R springs, but conditions of sale was to put it back to stock.

This car is awesome. Congrats! The colour could be a little tiresome for a daily driver but on something like this it works perfectly, so unique. Every spring around this time I get the itch for a roadster of some kind and Porsche has always been high on my list.
