Most Boxster owners are perfectly happy keeping their cars 100% stock. Many Porsche snobs feel it is an affront to the fine Porsche engineering to change anything!
I was reminded of this last Sunday when I went on a PCA tour. There were several Boxsters on the tour - all 100% stock. A lot of people ogled my Boxster as I had it dressed up nice in humps and all... but would any of those other owners even consider changing out their amber side markers to clear? Nope! I think the market is less limited by the number of Boxster cars as it is by the age and attitudes of most of the owners.

I wish I had a chance to go to a PCA tour event.
I was one of those Civic kids. I probablly would still have it, if it wasn't stolen.
Anyways, everyone has there own preference.
My Boxster is not stock, although I bought it that way, i like it modified.
But, I do appreciate a well maintained stock car. I think of it as a Blank canvas.
This is my Boxster. I'm guessing that the previous owner was a member of this forum. He did a Great job. The only thing I did was lift the back alittle, the tires scrape the fenders.
It needs new headlights because at night they look messed up, when they are on.
