Re: Which Plates for my Spyder?

At first glance, Crater Lake due to the color scheme. But up close, it's way too distracting.

Re: Which Plates for my Spyder?

I like the colors of the Cultural Trust plate.
It will look good with the reds of the tail/brake lights.
The black lettering will go well with the Boxster Spyder lettering.

Doesn't matter. Noone will be looking at your plates except the cops anyways.

Re: Which Plates for my Spyder?

As someone who grew up in Oregon and currently a Boxster owner, I love how you're throwing the middle finger to the Oregon rain and getting yourself the Spyder!

Btw, my vote is for Crater Lake.

Re: Which Plates for my Spyder?

Lake looks too fussy to me - it's a nice picture, but it's like buying a Van Gogh and then sticking a pretty picture of a lake in one corner of it...

Plainer the better.

Beautiful calm blue vs hellfire red.

Re: Which Plates for my Spyder?

Crater Lake for me. The other one is too abstract in my opinion and looks too feminine for a Syder..

Re: Which Plates for my Spyder?

I prefer the Lake too, and they'd go better with your white car!

Re: Which Plates for my Spyder?

I've done the Crater Lake plate on the last 4 cars I've owned. Looks amazing on the car. It will look especially good on your white Spyder. It has good color contrast with the car color. I've seen the CT plates on a lot of different cars (incl a 911 Turbo) and it doesn't look great. Too abstract and muddy colors. The key with the Crater Lake plate is not to use a plate frame as a frame will cut the picture down too much.

Re: Which Plates for my Spyder?

Here is two other options:
Salmon Plates


Tree Plates (Standard issued plate here in Oregon)


I'm not a huge fan of these because of the blue lettering on both (Tree plates letters are blue - picture looks more grey).
