modifying cars from OEM is very much a Porsche tradition. Back dating, updating, swapping aero from to another, swapping wheels from one to another, etc., etc.

I guess the word purist can mean whatever you want it to. Everyone's interpretation of what constitutes the purest Porsche is different. Personally, I look at what the designer of the car originally intended. When it comes to the Boxster, the way it rolled off the assembly line was NOT the vision. Aero, larger wheels and a upgraded interior over stock were removed from the designer's concept to monetize these as "options" in the Tequipment catalog.

p.s.
The LED taillights are 1000% safer for night time driving than the old school Edison bulbs. Ditto for Halogen vs. Litronics on the front end.
Having been rear-ended at least twice in a roadster, I would consider LED taillights to be more of a safety improvement than cosmetic if such improvements over stock could be measured. Even during the day, LED taillights in the parking light mode alert cars that get too close to a parked car much better than the stockers.
