Why not leave the boxster as is?
Compare that fake Lambo to this Boxster:




Which would you rather have?

Imagine having a Boxster with hail damage? Why not turn it into something else. Who am I to goof on anything like that, I drive a 4 cyl Honda that many people view as a girls car.

I like it even though I'd never want one.

OK, now compare that fake Lambo and stock Boxster to, say, this Boxster:





Which one would you rather have? If you still say the faux Lambo, then you need to go take a look at it in person. I've said this a million times: the problem with kit/replica cars is that exotic car looks CAN'T be reproduced using regular mass produced chassis proportions. That Lambo may look fine and dandy in pictures but when you see it in person it'll look totally lame from being so tiny and disproportionate. Anyone that has seen a Countach replica on a non-stretched Fiero chassis knows what I'm talking about. It's nothing but a joke.

I'm not disagreeing with your logic, X4D. I wouldn't want a replica of any car anyway. Idk how that Lambo would look in person, but the fact that it won't even sound exotic makes it just seem lame.

i gotta say, as much as i hate this on principle, its one of the best kits i've seen, as it actually looks like the car it's trying to copy. They just need to put some spacers on the front rims, and lower it an inch front and back and it'll look more 'legit.'

Hey, the guy's not out robbing banks or selling crack to school kids. The motivation is a mystery but it's certainly better than rice.

If I had an old Boxster and money to put a body kit on it, I would make its exterior appearance resemble a newer gen Boxster's.
