I have the spoiler and skirt kit on mine along with Spyder wheels and I think it sets it apart beautifully.

Just realized the fairing on back didn't show up very well in the first photo.

Thanks Guys... For welcoming me to the club.
I'm really looking forward to driving and working on it.

I think for now I'm going to leave it as is until I get to know the car.

I'm going to take BoxsterSteves advice and get the 100K service done and some other things.
Does anyone know what all the 100K service includes?
I think my first order of business is to install get a new radio/nav. Any recommendations?

Question for you guys?
Are there any Porsche clubs in GTA/Muskoka?
Any good Indy's in the Muskoka area?

Man I can't wait till spring........

Happy Boxstering All.
(PS: I'm jealous to all those who can right now)

Join the PCA - which will also give you membership to the PCA - Upper Canada Region. They are very active and have lots of socials and runs. Boxster Steve and I did the Muskoka Run last fall - was awesome. Joining is the best way to take advantage of your new Porsche.

The 100k service includes pollen filter, oil change, fuel filter (for my 2000 anyway), air filter, serpentine belt and plug change. Plus a bunch of inspection items listed in your maintenance schedule.

I had done a pre-hibernation oil change, and think a pollen filter in a convertible is one of the stupidest things ever. Having thus ranted, I got everything else for just over $200 shipped from AutoPartsWay.

There are several good indies in The Big Smoke and two in KW. Nothing I know of in Muskoka.
These are really easy DIY cars. I've done all the maintenance on mine save the IMSR and CV boots.

There's a GTA/905 group that meets the 4th Sunday every month... Haven't been out yet, but it's on the list, and Giller nailed it with the PCA UCR. Great group of people. Looking forward to some runs this coming season.
You could also join Giller and I for our unofficial "Boxsters Anonymous" runs.

Looks like Cocoa under fluorescent lighting.

Those all had "Cocoa Brown" interiors.

Yes it is Coca Brown interior and GT Silver on the exterior.

Would love to hook up for a ride or 2.
Cheers!

Congrats, MM. I love the cocoa/silver on the SE cars, as well as the wheels. Have a well respected indie give it a thorough going over, and try to do everything they recommend. But my two cents is don't focus on a new radio (the real music is the induction/exhaust sound) - focus on addressing the IMSB. The single row bearing models have higher failure rates. For my 03 it was worth $$ for peace of mind. Best of luck with it!

I've always loved the Cocoa interior and 2 tone wheels on the SE. Congrats on the purchase and welcome to the forum.
My car is a 2002 base so it didn't have any aerokit parts, but I added those same AerokitII sideskirts and the matching front bumper and splitter. They are OEM parts that I think really sets it apart! I added the GT# Tek rear diffuser to balance it out. Everyone has their own opinion on modifications,,, that's part of what makes the forum fun.
