What did you do with/to your Boxster today?

Nice, I replaced mine as well this week. Sold the old ones on eBay and recouped half the purchase price. The new ones look so sharp and crystal clear.



Unfortunately, stupid me wasn't paying attention in traffic and tapped the car in front of me. Zero damage to his vehicle, but his tow hitch put a nice gouge in my bumper cover. After considering buying and getting a used bumper cover painted, I have decided to open an insurance claim and get it addressed for the cost of my deductible. Hope to get a new cover.

I'm sorry about the bumper cover. That is definitely no bueno. On the plus side, the headlights look really good.

Thanks. Yeah, file this one under Stupid. But the 14 year old bumper had seen better days. New bumper or repair and re-spray - either way will be an improvement.

PS: Love your silver Box with the gray top. Don't see too many of those. I always appreciate the lesser seen color combos. Looks really cool.

Cleaned out the rads... my first time doing so in the 10k I've owned her. Pretty easy DIY, the YouTube video from the radiator specific thread was great.

Also fixed the rear speakers (loose connection) and added LED bulbs to frunk and trunk lights. Great way to spend an afternoon!

I'm doing the same thing today, too.

You can never be too rich, too thin, have too many tools or have too much Red!

Passed the annual state inspection (waiting on the sticker) then I finally got around to the DRL hack.

Cool! how or where did you get that wind fairing behind the seats to light w/Porche emblem?

After 2.5 years of ownership, celebrated her 30,000th mile!

Thanks! The windscreen is another of Fred's amazing works of art

I assume these are no longer available?

I don't believe so, unless Fred has a hidden stash.

Finished front lower control arms, tie rods and wheel bearings. Waiting for new axle nuts and drop links and then off for an alignment.

Replaced the cracked passenger side headlight washer cover. I had thought that while I was in there, I would reroute the frunck manual release cable to the tow hook but I did not like the acute angle of the cable after it was relocated (a two minute job if you're already in there). I ended up using two long zip ties to loosely secure the cable to the wiring bundle that exits the frunck near the rear of the headlight opening. I'll still have to open up the wheel well to reach it, but at least it will be easy to find.

Getting ready for PCA NER AX tomorrow.

I did DIY magnetic numbers. Bought the thickest magnetic stick-on sheet I could find on Amazon. Printed the numbers on 8.5 x 11 sheets of paper on my laser printer, covered the sheets with packing take and stuck them on to the magnetic sheets. The look great and stick well to the doors.

We may get some thunderstorms so all the supplies and tools are packed into a storage container. If firs perfectly in the frunk, and the tool box is in the trunk with my helmet and two tarps. No room for chairs, just a small cooler. We are two drivers, so passenger seat is not available.

GoPro is charging and the SLR is ready.

Could be a wet one, Anker. Lots of fun slippin' and slidin'. Enjoy.

I decided that the with the arm rest painted red it looked a little too much for me so I went back to the way it was and went red on the bezel above the door handle.

More subtle.

I think it will be fine, Gary. But even if its wet I'll enjoy it! :-)

I've been racking the miles up including a 2200 km trip through the mountains to southern BC last week. This included a 7km trip up a mountain in 1st gear on a rough gravel road for some hiking and lunch.

Probably better than the roads in Alberta... less pot holes at least
