if you have any crappy fading / scratched up "soft-touch" plastic interior pieces, you can fix them up nicely with plastidip spray, something I wish I'd known/thought of when I bought the car. Also, plastidip can change the color of your stock wheels in a completely removable way, for about $15.

learn to detail your car -- a clean, waxed boxster is a joy to behold. Also, you may want to look into getting clear side markers and front turn signal lenses -- for not much money, you can really improve the looks of your car in a way that looks very "factory", but updated. Don't do ANYTHING to your car cosmetically that can't be undone if you want to keep its resale value though.

If you want to see what the car is really made of, look up your local PCA or SCCA chapter and try some autocross. You won't spend much money, and you can drive the living hell out of the car in a safe way. The Tiptronic is not too bad for AX, I've been told.
