Any Modification Ideas?

I replaced my Silver BoxsterS badge with a chrome one from the 2004 550 edition BoxsterS.
That and the clear tail lights gave it a much cleaner/high end look.
Well worth the $180.



A guy down the block has a silver 911 Cab and from the back they look kinda similar.
I also added the plastic chrome-like grill strips from Ebay for $30. Its really door edge protector strips like the kind you get a Pepboys, cut to fit the grills. A little bit of a mark up but a nice improvement. Stock Looks kind of unfinished to me


and I got one of these for $5 on ebay too (best bang for the buck!)


Try painting the center caps yourself with model paint and then cover with clear lacquer.

I picked up one of those license plate surrounds too. I really like the understated Porsche on it. You have to look at it just right to see it. I also picked up the Porsche sticker (same font as the license surround) and put it on my wind deflecter. I wasn't real sure about doing that mod, but it looked pretty good afterwards.

I just picked up a similar license plate surround that says "Gemballa" that I'm going to change to. But now that I have it, I'm thinking that the only ones that will know what the heck that is, is other Porsche owners....but I guess that's ok.

I'm wanting all of my mods to be either invisible or very understated. Something like you wouldn't know they had been done if you didn't really know what a regular boxster looked like. So far, so good.

Mine already came with the painted center caps, or I would have painted them too. Plus, the colors look really good with a Guards Red Boxster.

I had my airbox perforated. I kept seeing people posting about dismal results with aftermarket intakes, so during the 60k miles service, I had the shop perforate the airbox and drop in a K&N. Sounds AWESOME...she howls above 4000rpm...and when I sit at idle, you can hear the air sucking into the vent on the drivers side...pretty sweet.

Here you go, "986" badge, strosec rear wing, all red tails, and custom painted headlights for that classic Porsche look.



Sorry the pics are a bit fuzzy, I'll take better ones next time I take the car out.

edit: upded with better pics.

tqtran, the 986 looks great! I really like your rear spoiler too. What brand is it? I've been looking for a spoiler like that. Do you also have the all red 550 edition tail lights? I'd love to see a pic of the whole car, front, side and rear. Thanks for posting pics.

Its a Strosec "Turbo" style rear wing. It looks bad ass when its up, looks like the 996 turbo
And yes, I do have the 50th ann edt. all red tails, I like them the best.
I will take some more pics as soon as it gets nice out (they say its suppose to snow this weekend here in Indiana.....)

Thumper, how'd you do the rear speakers? Did you get the Porsche speakers or other? Location? thanks!
