A good friend of mine installs both synthetic and real wood kits (and carbon fiber, aluminum, etc.) for a living and charges dealerships 200.00 to do a full kit on a Chrysler 300M.
If you are determined to get an interior kit done on your boxster, I would highly recommend you go to a dealership (Chrysler is not a bad place to start as they all seem to put wood kits in their top end cars to make more profits) and ask a salesman to slip you the name and number of the guy they use for their wood kit installations.
He should charge you what he charges the dealership if you give him cash. He will also be using better kits than what is available on the web. Finally, he does it all day long and won't screw it up and get it on crooked... which is huge to me because once that stuff goes down, it does not come up for repositioning... period!
My buddy tells me that the synthetic wood or the carbon or aluminum will not fade in the sunlight like the real wood kits seem to do.
The last thing I think you should know is that few Porsche buyers will want this in the car you sell them... so factor in how long you plan to keep your boxster. If it's a car you plan to keep for ten years, I think you should do whatever you like to the car. But if you plan to trade it in a couple of years, think about resale value and ability to sell the car quickly when that time comes.
Post some pics if you do it though as I'd like to see it!
