Back to Stock... Tail lights this Time
I have got this bug to put certain items I've changed on the Boxster back to stock... kind of. I took out the double din Kenwood and went back to the CDR-220. With that I lost the Blue Tooth and back up camera. Now I am changing the tail lights back to the amber and red. Next is the front side lights. Nuts, I know. I'll keep the '03 top with the glass window and the '03 Carrera Light wheels though. It just seems that if I have a 15 year old car it should retain some of the original looks that makes it a 15 year old car.

I am with you. I haven't had my car all that long and I like it just the way it is. I bought it with aftermarket wheels already on it and I am seriously considering looking for a set of twists to change it back to stock. And, I like the CDR-220 just fine.

Instead of the CDR-220, why don't you try another Becker model? Some of them were mounted in the 9x6 line as options and they look close to stock.
I put in a Becker Indianapolis Pro with navigation, speakerphone, Bluetooth, an AUX connection, MP3 playback and orange display. |
Hey Chuck, if you ever want to go back to stock on that top, I guess I could find it in my heart to trade you my plastic window.

I have the same obsessive, compulsive personality. Don't know why, but everything must be 100% stock/factory, down to the radio.

Well I am not really concerned about keeping my car stock, but I must say that I do prefer the stock tail lights on that red car!
|
I guess I'm a little strange. I'm fine with upgrading the interior, I have a tablet in the dash, and an upgraded head unit. But I have the outside of the car completely stock.
|
I have kept all of my stock items that have been swapped out just in case I get the "bug" but I take my vitamins so I stay pretty healthy.....;)

Amber looks great on Guards Red! :D
|
Nope..I will change anything n everything as long as I like it better than the original..of course I look for a long time before I decide on any changes n I do stock pile my original parts just in case I get a wild hair n decide maybe I don't like the new look as much as I did at first....But all in all I DO love my Boxster!!!
|
I think what you're doing is awesome! I've always been more a fan of keeping vehicles stock. They perform great and look clean and well balanced right out of the factory (vehicles like the Pontiac Aztec notwithstanding).
PS: as for the plastic window... Okay, I'll give you that one! LOL. |
i'm not a purist but when it comes to my Boxster, there's nothing I feel the need to change. I love the way it looks and handles. Stock stereo sounds outstanding.:cheers:

@nine8six
Best thing about your car is it looks like it could have came from the factory like that if they kept the 986 around for a few more years and made an RS model or some exclusive options or something. |

Of course, your car looks great either way and if you get tired of stock you can always go back the other way (again)! Either way, enjoy! |
