Hi,

Interesting, if not surprising, responses to date - all about Dress-up or Creature Comfort, guess I didn't expect that from a bunch of Enthusiasts.

I'd say the single geatest investment/enhancement I've made on my Boxster was the addition of Front and Rear Strut Tower Braces.

They greatly improved the Handling, while increasing Rigidity, which totally eliminated all rattles (I know the Boxster is one of the most rigid Convertibles out there, but add these Braces and find out how much of a Wet Noodle it really is). It also reduced the Body Roll significantly as well.

It wasn't the first Mod I did to the car (I've done the Rear Speaker install, OBC Hack w/ 4th stalk, Euro Side Marker Hack, Garage Opener Hack, installed Fire Extinguisher and Bracket, installed Illuminated Sun Visors, intergrated Cup Holders, De-Snorkel hack). But it was definitely the one with the most Bang for the Buck. It would be the first Mod I would suggest to anyone, the results are amazing!

Happy Motoring!...Jim'99
