Sure, Ill document the install process for the Self Leveling Unit. What Ill do is install without first and drive it to see what the litronics do without and then install it and document what i see the litronics do afterwards. That way we atleast know what the hell that thing does exactly.

What?? You gonna upgrade the bumper but not go the 996/GT3/aerokit I way?!?!
A waste in my opinion unless you change to one of the above. Heck even those techart ebay bumpers are sweet.

I disagree. There is a signifigant difference in the style of the bumper from 1997 to 2003 or 04. I like how the grills are integrated into the bumper and not an attachment of black grills that snap on behind it. The intakes are alittle sharper around the edges which gives it a slightly more agressive and updated look compaired to the stock 1997 bumper.

The 996/GT3/aerokit are all nice but its embarrasing to show up to a p-car meet with a boxster with a 996/GT3/aerokit I front end when there are real 996's GT3's GT3RS's and CGT's. I'd feel like a poser lol. So im sticking with a boxster bumper.

So.... i can see your point from a preference basis. But from a poser preference.... its the same, if not worse. At least the GT3 bumper was a factory option, the 03+ bumper was only for...03+ boxsters. So when you do show up to these meets they will be like "oh nice 03 boxsttt......you have a plastic rear window and different side intakes... huh?" Have the aerokit is not poser in my opinion, just a factory option. So I dont quite see your point on that issue.

yea, well obviously the 03 one looks better than 9, but i wouldn't 'upgrade' to that either.

i like the techart looking one that bisimoto has on his silver box.

I guess ill break it down for you alittle more.

Poser Level 1-10:


-03 Boxster bumper on a 1997 Boxster Level 3

-Carrera Bumper on an 1997 boxster Level 6... But i still like it

-GT3 bumper on a Boxster Level 9

Carrera GT bodykit on boxster Level 10.5


I have nothing against the carrera bumper really, i like it and would get it, but unfortunatly money is an object here. A used 03 or 04 bumper non-s and S are 350 bucks, the Carrera'a are more. Sure, the 03 is posing also but atleast its subtle and will attract less honda civic racers. Also, if i get a GT3 bumper, people are going to expect my car to be fast and we all know 200bhp can only make you go so fast in a straight line.
