    APC, haha, just learned something new I'll have to use.

    Your 60 looks great! Like your interior choice, red is nice but I really prefer your combo!

    Hope you fitted them in the proper way - bottom of crest should point to face the tyre valve.

    Lovely car - looks like your place is in the middle of nowhere - lucky guy.

    never heard of that wheel cap placement - i'll give it a try on both cars.

    not out in the middle of no-where, just a huge lot in a subdivision. I placed the house well back rather than 150 feet from the road like most!

    You'll find that as fitted at the factory the wheel crests align with the tyre valve as here. It's a minor detail but you might as well get it right :-

    The attention to detail of Boxster owners is incredible. I would have never noticed it, but shall do a shield check next time I am with my car. Thanks for sharing your beautiful RS 60 with or without the color crests. Very nice.

    Thanks for sharing the new shots CPA4S, absolutely gorgeous! I know how good my 280hp 987S feels and sounds, I bet with the RS60 the exhaust note is so close to perfect you might not even know if there is a radio in the car!
