A pretty girl in the passenger seat is the best modification, even if they tend to be temporary.

For me, the most smiles per hour must come from the Sprint Booster... I know that it doesn't actually give your Boxster any more power but what a great little device for making you realise that you don't actually need any more power. The three modes of operation are great and being able to switch it back to standard mode for when someone a little more reserved gets behind the wheel is a nice plus.
I know that some chip tuning also changes the egas peddal mappings so the result is the same but with extra power too, but ECU tuning costs much more money, raises your insurance premium and isn't exactly easy to take off the car when you sell it, unlike the sprint booster.

That's a fair commentary.
I've always thought that mods HAD to make you go faster, or corner better or stop faster to be worthy.
The sprint booster kinda' fits.
Since my shift distance is 45% shorter, I'm going faster, right?

3-Spoke wheel & leather airbag w/ silver crest
It feels and looks better than my OE 4-spoke and I can't keep my hands off of it!

There are loads of mods which I like and one of my Boxsters has a bucketfull installed. The short shifter and the sprint booster combine perfectly to make changing gear feel like mans work and pressing the loud pedal feel like your destiny is directly linked to your right foot... Combine that with performance manifolds, 200 cell high flow cats and a sports exhaust and you can enter another world in the Porsche.

Yeah that sounds like great fun.
I was on track one day with a Boxster that looked just like mine. He just walked me in corners and straights. I chalked it off to sticky tires and better skill on his part but I wasn't happy.
Turns out that he had installed a 3.6 engine in it. That soothed my hurt feelings.
The 3.8 must be unreal in the Boxster.

I have a love-hate relationship with my Che exhaust because of the drone. But it's gotta be the single mod I have enjoyed the most and with the most consistency. Hearing the motor howl at redline is just glorious.
