What did you do with/to your Boxster today?

[rick3000]

Lift tickets are so expensive these days, I finally caved and bought a season pass for some spring skiing. To take my mind off of much a season pass costs, I installed my RTS (Roof Transport System), along with a new Porsche Ski Rack. I bought the rack last year but had never installed it before. It fits the horizantal bar rails perfectly, since it was made to pair with all Porsche roof racks. The only modification I need to make is that only one side of the rack is clamped down to the rails, so it rattles when empty. I need to slip a neoprene washer or some felt on the other end. It's much better than my ski box, because it's not as top heavy and doesn't catch as much wind.

I really like that strip and the color. If you want to remove it later is it easy to remove and leaves no film on the car?

I have been spending lots of time surfing for upgrade info ect... But main thing I did was complete the external portion of detailing my 00 S.

I had to use it as my daily driver for several months, even though I keep it washed and waxed it was over due a detailing. So broke the job up into several days last time I clay bar the whole car and waxed my back hurt for days.

Anyway no clay needed but did a polish and 2 coat wax job and detailed out the wheels and reapplied a coat of the wheel wax from Chemical guys. If you have never used the Chemical Guys wheel wax, I highly recommend it, makes the wheels shine and the brake dust will not stick great protection and easy to use.

Today will finish outside windows, and start on interior detailing. Also need to replace the broken vanity mirror on driver side, since its lighted that is scheduled for Sunday task.

Jbauer, I like your stripe, it compliments red perfectly. Can you post the exact color and source? I'm looking for a way to protect my hood as it gets rash from every drive. Instead of applying a clear coat I was thinking of just covering the entire hood as long as I am the caretaker of this car. When I eventually sell it I can reverse it. Charcoal =Cool.

It's 3M 1080 series graphite metalic. It's a little to brownish for me. I bought some and did my hood solid with it. I didnt care for it and removed it. I just used the scraps to test my wire tape cutting skills.
I've reordered a silver to match my back to stockish colored wheels.

Messed up Black:

I was matching my wheel color at the time, Graphite:

Installed my new waterproof immobilizer case.

Not quite as easy as I thought it would be - the two harnesses still looked factory new, right down to the cloth tape wrapping them. I had to rip sections of the tape off in order to get the silicone sealer down in between the wires. The harnesses also fought me tooth and nail when I tried to mount the board into the new box - the board has to sit over two indexing pins and OMG, the harnesses kept making the board pop up, but I finally got it down and the cover on.

A really nice, well designed, and well put-together kit. If you follow the instructions (or the YouTube video) anyone can install it.

The whole process took about an hour and a half, including seat removal, vacuuming the area under the seat (I found a quarter!) to remove 17 years of dirt, etc.

I just need to clip the (super long) zip-tie and reinstall the seat (I'll do that tomorrow). Oh, and I'll probably need to clear the airbag light since I powered up the car with the drivers seat out to make sure everything still worked.

I finished detailing car. I also finally removed the driver sunvisor and installed the replacment vanity housing to fix the broken and missing mirror cover.

I cut the wires then solder the wires together and a little electric tape.

Good as new!

Put the drivers seat back in to finish up the waterproof immobilizer case installation.

Took her out for a nice long drive.

Came back and used my Durametric cable to clear the airbag light (drivers seat belt fault code caused by powering up the car to check the immobilizer without having the drivers seat installed).
