Washed it and waxed it in the garage. Man, the weather is miserable. I ordered a bottle of 303 protectant for the top.

Headlight Haze
Bryan,
Before you buy a new headlight, have you tried using "Mothers PowerBall Headlight Restoration" kit? It comes with sandpaper pads, as well as the PowerBall attachment and the plastic polish. First I tried the polish with the PowerBall and it didn't do the job. I then used the sandpaper according to the instructions and the headlights came out crystal clear. I followed up with the polish and PowerBall and am very pleased with the results.

Roadtrip! 400 mile round trip up to Sedona, AZ. Had to give her a good wash down after we got home. Somebody mentioned 303 sealand for the soft top, how often?

New Radio
Installed a JVC KW-AV60BT 2-din stereo in my 1999 Boxster. SWEEEET! It fits perfectly in the upper two openings. Am using the USB for music, but can also stream from my iPhone. It also syncs. with my iphone for phone calls. Feel like I have a new vehicle!

Add a backup camera and you'll feel like one of JDs peeps! Oh, it DOES help with that blindspot too.

I was considering a backup camera since my radio supports it.
They used to be pretty pricey, I have one on my truck for hooking up to my trailer. It mounted over the license plate holder, tied the sense lead to the reverse light and comes on when putting it in reverse, or I can select that video input anytime on the radio.
Do you mind sharing what model camera you used?
How about a pic..
Thanks

@kcpaz,
Love that Subaru-turbo powered Box! If you need a test pilot, for track time and comparison, let me know! Nice vid, turbo is 'rush'! Good piloting too!
@Tony,
The backup camera looks like this from inside…
…and this from outside. It is a license plate backup camera.
I got the camera off Amazon for like $15, it was cheap and works great! I did run it directly to the input so I could record trucks going off the road that are trying to follow (darn, I WISH I would have had it switched to "rearview" mode - I was making a "hands-free" call and listening to music at the same time - you can only do three things at once).

Pictures? What did you use for the cage and surround, wiring harness? That looks like a nice unit for the price.

That's pretty much what mine looks like. Same wheels too. Just that I changed the headlights and tails and side indicators to led ones. Man gotta get the chance to clean the car for pics. Weathers been bad recently.
