In my wife's G35, the fit is perfect. Go figure.
Your 2000 Boxster has the European spec lighter. For it to fit properly and charge (along w/ cellphone power cords, radar detectors, etc.) you need to replace it w/ the US spec lighter (which became std ~ 2002). It's an easy DIY which cost ~ $15. Here are the specific part #s:
