What did you do with/to your Boxster today?

Got a new key cut and programmed by the dealer today. I supplied the key, and they only charged me $85, despite being quoted $160 over the phone. Sometimes even the dealer is reasonable...

Can you PM me the info on where you bought your key? I checked with the dealership yesterday, and they quoted me ~$525 US, depending on my VIN, which they say may affect the final price. I'd like to try and do better than that. Thanks.

Dave

I had a racing stripe and Porsche lettering added. The metallic silver matches great with my Lapis blue metallic paint, and is a dead-on match for the wheel color. I think it's a great touch.
