Hi All - Been lurking for about a month, but this is my first post.

I bought an Arctic Silver 2003 Boxster S about a month ago now - its my daily driver, replacing a 2001 Mercedes CLK55 (which is for sale on Cars.com if anyone is interested!)

Need input on a couple of issues:

New head units with iPod integration - my car came with the CDR-23 with HiFi speakers (not Bose, though) - it seems like the only iPod integration solutions are a $600+ Dension Icelink, or a $600 spec.dock - can someone recommend third party head units that have iPod integration? Some of the Alpine and Pioneer head units look nice, and are no more than $500 with iPod integration and sometimes Bluetooth, but I have no idea if they will easily integrate with the Boxster's fiber optic system... any recommendations?

#2 side vents - I have seen a couple of Boxsters around town that have side vents without any visible grill inside - does anyone know where I wouild find these grills? I looked briefly on PeilcanParts.com and did not have any luck finding side grills at all.

Look forward to any sugestions!
