What did you do with/to your Boxster today?

What a busy bunch we are! Drove from Charlotte NC to Emporia VA today in my Tundra to pick up some 997 seats with 2000 miles on them for $700. Round trip was a long 8 hours and over 500 miles. The reward was putting them in my 2000 'S' and taking if for a spin. They look great, they smell great, and feel awesome. My original seats are in great shape but the 997/987 seat is just better for my bad back.
I'll post some good pics soon. here is one with phone at nite. New seats are gray and the interior is black. Friends are saying not to dye the seats, think I might leave them for now and see if the two tone grows on me. The seats are heated but I haven't figure out how I'll wire that up yet. If any one has let me know. My original seats were not heated.

Nice find! Where they on CL? I would like to find some heated seats. I would keep it two tone, the grey will be cooler in the summer. P.S. Great choice in trucks, love my Tundra!

Thanks. Actually they were on ebay but the guy didn't want to ship and would drive 100 miles to meet the buyer. It turns out the auction had expired but I managed to get hold of him and work it out. If you have any thoughts about hooking up the headed part that would be cool. The seats are really comfy, took it to the golf course today and it was nice to sit back an relax on the way hom.
Ya I love my Tundra, got it 15 months ago with 105k miles for $8k. The check engine like just went on, I'm hoping I can get the code and it will actually tell me what is wrong. Runs fine though.
I've noticed many 987/997 seats from ebay UK. Check them out, they might ship to the US for a decent price. Some were much cheaper then here in US.

Thanks for the info. No idea on hooking them up, I haven't gotten that far in my research. They look to be in excellent shape!
