Easy hacks and modifications for a 2002 boxster?

[FirstPorscheAt18]

I have read up on a few things you can do, like painting the calipers and allowing the top to operate while moving.

Are there any other cheap/easy/fast ways to upgrade your boxster?

Also I have some kind of messed up rims. I don't know what the previous owner did, but they have a ton of random damage here and there. (Looks like large rocks ricocheted off them) any easy way to fix this? I doubt it.

Thanks guys.

I have also heard of other forum members who have drilled holes in their muffler exhaust to great acclaim, but I have not personally done that.

For the muffler by-pass mod what diameter pipe do you guy's reckon. I thought 1.5" from what I have read but I'm not sure if that's diameter or circumference.

A 1.5 circumference would give you a diameter of less than 1/2 an inch.
