Replaced interior and trunk light bulbs to white LED replacements..
I had already replaced the license plate bulbs for LED. I like the white LED glow over the yellow bulb. Not to mention they draw less current..
I discovered the little black push button switch in the dome light that controls the LED's in the door handles and dome light. (It was set to off)
I had to look it up the user manual to find out what the little push button switch was for.. (Daytime)
Orientation light
Learn something new...lol

Installed, new vent, (easy with the factory directions) Photos not good, if anyone has a round vent issue I can easily talk them through removal, replacement if needed. Top still off but it is back to ski hat season unfortunately.

A little late, but I had the wheels balanced all-around on Saturday. Today I drove the Box to work.

Brings back memories when I use to live there... Did you get in the left lane and flash your headlights?

Got to put the top down today. The weather has finally changed here in Miami and the topless season has started. Actually, the car topless season has started as well as the topless season on the Beach, since now is about the time the Europeans flood Miami Beach and they have a propensity for going topless. Its tough, I know.

Cleaned every single crevous possible. then I waxed the new chrome tips on my fabspeed exhaust. looking good for tomorrow where I hope I can make it to part of the florida crown region show and shine about 20 minutes from my house at Hooters! Should be fun.

Do the vitamins in the breast milk add to the horsepower?

Fall
It was cold and beautiful. We drove to Huntington Beach in Cleveland for a cookout and drove thru the metroparks on the way home - 40 miles today.

Crap, I forgot about that show. May show up but won't be entering. Car is dirty from the recent rain. Will wash it this weekend though.

I had aerokit ii skirts installed today. The body shop did a good job painting and prepping but a mediocre job installing them I probably could have installed them just as well. They left a small gap between the line and the skirt and didn't paint the two little trim pieces. They were already painted black so don't show much against my lapis blue paint (im just going to go over them with touch up paint as they are so small anyway). Overall the car looks great, now I want 18" wheels, the gt3 bumper, and the Gt3 tek rear bumper add on.

Drove mine to work for the first time. My wife is becoming annoyed that my BoxSter is getting more attention than her.
Could anyone please refer me to a thread or post on "washing your car". I don't know where to begin...
