Staying Stock

[Topless]

Welcome to the select few of us who appreciate the original designers vision.

My car no longer qualifies as Bone Stock but the changes are very subtle. I do enjoy reading about the mods other owners do to their cars though. For now I'll leave my money in the bank and just focus on driving skills.

Bone stock is great!
My car is "bone stock," with the exceptions of OEM, fully reversible mods and the OBC button. I have been trying to exercise restraint from things like rims, carbon fiber hoods, etc.
So good for you if you can avoid being taken in by a modding addiction!


(We'll see how long you last! )

Good to hear I'm not the only one that's keeping my box, stock.

Ditto.

As you can see in my sig, I have only done OEM or reversable enhancements. The only non-OEM changes are the B-K mount, the Mantisport 'Ernie' bar, and the Garage opener hack (which uses a converted switch blank - but not before I had a replacement blank in hand). I added the 4th stalk for the OEM hackand I guess the Wiper delay is a 996 switch, but again, easily reversable.

I don't know how long I'll keep the Boxster, but it's almost 10 yrs. already and the time may come when it's more appreciated for being stock. If that happens, I have all the original pieces wrapped and stored. The reversal process would take less than a day to do.

I kept mine stock for a very long time. then as the car was paid off the modding began.

That's definitely the smart way to do it!

I can't imagine why someone would float the already high cost of modding on a 10%-28% APR credit card, but I suppose there are those who do.

To each their own I always say.
