bosxter7, did you mean to spell your screen name that way?
To answer your question, yes, I experience that too. When it's raining and I go under a street lamp, the whole window lights up in an odd way. However, this happens in my Lexus too, so I think it's just an automotive glass thing.
If you recently got your boxster, there's a good chance you have new porsche owner's eyes... when I first got my car two years ago, every single part of the car and the driving experience was scrutinized repeatedly. Some of it was good and fun, lots of other things were just me being paranoid.

Ever since I bought the winter car, I stopped driving the Box in the rain as well...
Too much of a pain in the rear to keep a black car clean

Keeping black clean is the reason I usually take the Jetta when it's raining.

I agree 
My winter car is also black, but I can always run it through the car wash if it gets dirty...
No automatic car washes for my beloved Box though

I have had it for 4 months. its a 97, lol I took it through the car wash at my work and a bit of water came in through the wondows. but I will not be doing any thing else to keep it clean in the snow. also what year did the boxster get side air bags and do they all have tc, cause I have spun it out many times in the rain and I dono what it will be like in the snow with worn summer tires.

One word suggestion. I swear by it and I have night blindness, live in WA state (rain capital of the US) and drive my Boxster everywhere:
Rain-x
