No, it was on ebay for about 7 days, and the reserve was not met so it didn't get sold, i had someone wanting to look at it tomorrow so i decided to drive both cars and see if it was worth selling, and it wasn't, so now im just keeping it.

Have fun with your $500, instead of doing only one big thing. Make your own rear strut brace for $10, do the OBC hack for $50, and buy a spoiler sticker for $20. I wouldn't drop $500 on one think like an air intake that might gain you 5HP, do a lot of nice little things, and then your $500 will last longer and make you appreciate the car more. Don't waste $500 on HP upgrades that will get you very little for your money.
That is just my $0.02!

eBay B & M clone short shift kit

Go through the car and find random crap that's broken or scratched(trust me there always is something that can be replaced no matter what year or what mileage)

Painted bumperettes

custom built rear stress bar

painted center console

Sell your car, buy a 98 cheap, 3.4 swap. the condition of the car would be less, but that 300HP would make you happier.

Would painted bumperrets make a big difference on a black car ?

Boggtown, did you smoke the tail lights yourself?
How did you do it?

BlkBoxster, I am glad you decided to keep the Boxster.
