Ditto. Love the look of those wheels, Doc.

Brake dust is my mortal enemy and I hate it, but I have never been a fan of black wheels. To each, his own.

Just bought this tiptronic a couple of weeks ago, and couldn't wait to do some mods.

It just ain't my car until some mods are done!

Painted the calipers and added some matching decal tuning:



After much help from this board I managed, after a lot of time and swearing, to move the ac unit and its cables to the bottom of the center console, and fit this:



Bluetooth, as you can see, along with a backup camera makes the car feel really modern.

I LOVE my Boxster!

No external cosmetic mods planned other than perhaps replacing the BOXSTER S emblem on rear trunk lid.

No emblem cuts rear waxing/detailing time by at least half; but, the paint has slightly faded around the BOXSTER S emblem such that the letters now appear as slightly darker paint beneath the clear coat.

Without the Boxster emblem, I believe one may better view and appreciate the artistic lines of the well-formed rear curvatures I could have the trunk lid repainted but fear an imperfect paint match would be even less acceptable; thus the need for a new emblem.

Thanks again! BruceH!
