Post your interior/exterior mods
 
I have a carbon spray center console on order for very cheap and I will let you guys know how that turns out, I got the boxster S aluminum gauges and ring bezels, smoked front side markers and corner headlight pieces... i am waiting for my pocket covers also in carbon spray and I am in the process of trying to get the gauge surround in carbon fiber.

Anyone have a working set of litronics for sale with everything to do a retrofit? I will post my pics later tonight when I get home from work...show me YOUR BOXSTERs!!!

phrankandbeanz 11-30-2004 04:05 PM

Can you guys also post where you got it and what you feel about that mod

Subanez 11-30-2004 04:26 PM

The only "mod" I did on the interior is to super glue a set of Air Force wings to the center console, where folks sometimes put a "986" badge, right above the shifter. Cost around $2, means a lot to me, and looks cool. I'm sure that's not what you're looking for, but hey, we all have our egos.

Only int/ext mods I have are porsche umbrella for the passenger foot slit, "986" door stills, "986" rear trunk lid badge, clear corners, and strosek "911 turbo style" wing.

I'd love one of those nifty umbrellas but I refuse to drive my boxster in the rain, so I can't justify it!

I just might give it to my car for Christmas though. I do know the wife bought me new floormats from suncoast porsche.

By the way, if you all don't know about suncoast, they sell genuine porsche stuff from their parts counter (it's a dealership) for cost +15%. Got a quote on a refurbished and warranted transmission for 2160.00, which is nearly 850.00 LESS than my local dealer wants for the same thing.

tqtran 11-30-2004 07:12 PM

Oh, I don't plan to ever use the umbrella, I just got it to fill the little hole :) I have a second regular umbrella in the driver side arm hole for rain.

well I will post it again, but my cars little website is www.09860.com
I have several pics of what the car looks like on the outside. The pics are a little old. not shown in those pics are the carbon fiber intakes I added. I will post those pics with this thread below.
I will try to take a couple pics to show the inside. I have done the carbon fiber gear shifter and 986 badges inside. I also added an Alpine IVA-D901 with built in DVD so my passenger can watch movies while on road trips....

Has anyone seen the gemballa floormats for the boxsteR? there pure sex!

jfmillr 12-01-2004 04:41 AM

no havent seen them....but if anyones got a pic I would be interested in what they look like. I got my 986 floor mats for about $50 for the pair.

FUHRIUS 12-01-2004 07:03 AM

What body parts are those?
 
jfmillr - I'm particularly interested in what side skirts and rear spoiler those are?

jfmillr 12-01-2004 07:18 AM

My sideskirts are made by Gemballa, and my rear wing is a Strosek Turbo wing and incase anyone is curious the carbon fiber intakes are made by Koklen

FUHRIUS 12-01-2004 07:32 AM

jfmiller - where did you get the wing / side skirts done and how much were they, if you don't mind my asking?
and have you done any performance mods?

jfmillr 12-01-2004 08:45 AM

I dont recall 100% but to give you a ballpark figure, the sideskirts were about 1800 and painted and installed including having the skirts seam sealed to the car was another 500-600. I ordered the sideskirts directly from Gemballa in Germany. The Strosek wing was about $600 and another 300 painted and installed.

As for my mods I have had my ECU remapped, new air intake, wide throttle body. TTP headers with foward CAT delete, new pipes from headers to new high flow cats to RUF muffler. I just put a 5 k deposit on my twin turbo kit. I still need to give another 8 k before I will have them. I am getting my twin turbos through TTP.
I have done Bilstein coil over shocks. New strut and sway bars. Eurathane bushings. 10 mm wheel spacers.
Also did the B&M short shifter and aluminum linkage for short shifter.
As for suspension and engine thats about all I have done at the moment. Thinking about doing some 19" wheels sometime this winter. Havent picked them out yet though. Hope this answers some questions.

phrankandbeanz 12-01-2004 09:26 AM

These are the floormats. These isnt a verygood picture but its pic #3.

You can get the piping done in whatever color you like. They just look awesome first hand

Stryke 12-01-2004 09:45 AM

The car looks great. The only thing I would say you're missing is some nice wheels. The stock wheels do not do it justice with the body package you did. :)

Anyone interested can click the link in my signature for some pics.

For now, here is some shine. :D

Stryke 12-01-2004 09:47 AM
