Well, it seemed as if your main complaint with the Boxster was a lack of straight-line acceleration, which $500 is not going to improve much, regardless of how you spend it.

If there's something else you'd like to improve, you'll have to let us know, but otherwise maybe save for some sort of forced induction setup?

It doesn't have to be power related, exterior interior

My thought exactly. You really seemed to want more power. For $500 just drop in a nitrous system. I'm not sure what you can get for that money, but the Zex dry systems used to go that cheap. It seems pretty taboo in the Porsche world to add nitrous (probably 'cause it's so expensive to fix when the engine goes BOOM), but hey for the money that's your biggest horsepower bang (literally) for the buck.

If it were my $500 though and a stock car - I'd do lowering/sport springs first. It made quite a difference on my car.

Look at this NOS on eBay, for a Boxster!
This must make freeway on ramps a lot of fun!
