ColorPlus seems to be what a lot of the PCA concourse guys are in to. See http://colorplus.com/ Their black was an exact match for my '01 black interior when I had a few scratches, including my...

When my MAF went bad and turned on the CEL, the only code I got was P1128. I turned the CEL off and a few tanks of gas later the CEL came on with the same code. I never got a code for the other...

My mechanic at the dealer said the N-rated tires have to go through more QA processes than the same non-N-rated tires from the manufacturer. I've also read that the N-rated tires may have stiffer...

I'm not sure if it's been explicitly said or not, but in general the short shifter won't enable you to shift any faster. The shift throw will be shorter and the shift effort will increase. Basic...

I put the OEM 997 short shifter into my '01 Boxster (5 speed) a few years ago (this was before people started putting the stock 9x7 shifter into older Boxsters). At first I thought the shift...

Heated seats were the one thing I insisted on when I bought my first (and so far only) Boxster. My wife thought I was nuts, and now she won't even get in to a car without heated seats.
