What did you do with/to your Boxster today?

I have grey also and have never noticed the glare. And I do like the black contrast with your change. Have you given any thought to dyeing the rest of the grey dash leather black? I used a national company to freshen up my grey drivers seat. I am still thoroughly happy with the way it turned out. fibrenew.com

I had not considered dying the rest of dash black... interesting idea. I'll have to look into that. I think my dash may just be vinyl covered rather than leather.

I saw a post (maybe yours?) about the seat refurbishing, my drivers side is showing typical wear on the outside bolster. I'm going to see if there is a franchise in my area, last time I looked the closest one was not near me. I have considered swapping the backs of the seats as the passenger seat is in excellent shape.

I did have a couple of seat posts. One asking about swapping and another after the refresh. I was going to try and swap the back rests. I started the project and quickly opted out after another member posted his seats reworked via Fibrenew. I valued my time over the cost. My rep lives about three miles from me. I have the full leather option. I think they can also color the vinyl

I made my last BIG purchase for my "thing" in my garage.

Figure if it doesn't fit I'll slap it on my pickup.

I've always wanted to try that on one of my cars, Qingdao! Good luck and let us know how it works!

Last weekend took out the cupholders from between the air vents on teh dash. Same time I installed the AC/heater control unit to the same location and also to the previously AC/heater control location at the very bottom, I installed a storage cubby.

This was pretty fiddly task, since I took some under dash elements away from the wireing re-route. This allowed the wires to be loose enough for the AC/heater control unit to be easy to remove at the later date.

Forgot to take a picture from the starting point but here's the first image from past summer at Kymiring where the original set-up can be seen.
Second image is when the dash was taken in part.
Third image is when all is done :dance:

An engineer buddy of mine made the point of "how is propane going to take to compression of the supercharger; will it fall out of suspension in the air?". I don't think its going to be a big issue being that propane gets squanched in the cylinder just before ignition. BUT if it doesn't fit or if it just flat out doesn't work I can always put the kit on my pickup truck.

I just installed Ben's Short Shift Kit (available at Uniwerk's design). Easy install and can't beat the price. It made a marked improvement in shifter feel. Read a few posts about this SSK on this here forum. It's a great upgrade for anyone considering it.
