This kit was a pleasure to build as most parts seemed to fall together (yay for Tamyia) the only problem I had was the decal for the rear brake light came off and got wrecked, this was fixed using BMF painted over with tamyias clear red. The final result is a more relistic look to the light.

the front boxster decal on licence plate also began to lift off so more decal fix was applied and now it seems to have stuck

Boxter looks great
My only comment would be that the exhaust ain't sitting high enough into the rear bumper... too much gap between bumper and exhaust tip.

yeah. Good spotting.

The rear was not sitting as it was supposed to, it now sits slightly lower at the back but their is still about a 2.5 - 3 mm gap between them.

Thats great to hear.

I have to say, isn't that a weird and muffler, but I guess being so close to the engine, its the only way it will fit.

Looks like a nice clean build, great pics too! The finish looks mor satin than gloss, was that intentional?
