So i was thinking a late 90's model, for around $17,000. Now, once again, i hate the look of it. So, I think i will be (gasp) adding a body kit to it.

This body kit here - $925


Is what i would love. I'm guessing it would probably cost around $150-200 to ship that, plus installation would be $$$ (i have no idea?)

I would ALSO like black rims with a red brake calliper. Something exactly like this


I reckon i can find something similar at my local shop for around $1500 for the set of rims and $$$? for installation? is it free usually?

So, basically after all this, cliff notes are:

1) Are there any common problems i should be aware of in 98-01 boxsters?

2) How much will it cost to do THESE modifications
a) Front Bumper body kit - $925 - +shipping - +installation
b) Black Racing Rims - $1500 - +installation (or is it usually free?)
c) Red brake calliper - $?
d) IN DASH GPS (i don't care if its average gps, as long as its installed into the dash) - $?

So, how much am i looking at spending on top of the price of the car?

The red brake calipers come as standard on the S, so forget about them just now, Rims, you may be lucky and get 2nd hand set saving you some cash, if not Genuine Carrera's will be bought 2-3k plus tyres 1k, however the black look will need to be taken on by a bodyshop. ebay you will source a GPS setup possible 1k, as for rates on the bodykit 700-1000k probably

points to watch, i was told were -- RMS, worn clutch and on early 2.5-2.7 the engines could fail, I dont know the terminology but someone on here will.
I have an S

Have a look at the cars ive had and im 24 and an ordinary worker.
