Hi and welcome. My story is very similar, which is why I am responding. I looked for months, and found several 986's I liked but they were too far away. Then, a 2001 Base Boxster appeared locally at a reputable used car dealership. 75k miles. Lapis Blue. Savanna beige interior. Really nice combo. I went and test drove it and bought it on the spot. And like you, I want to de-amber the headlights, and about 100 other things as well. But I am pumping the brakes a little on big mods, for fear that my wife might kill me if I spend a lot more on it right away. So I have started really slow, and so far I have only exchanged the old, tired black Boxster trunk badge with a new silver one, and gotten new color center wheel caps. Good luck with yours and enjoy it all.
