Most noticeable and enjoyable first mods?

No clutch replacement required for the shifter upgrade. It's a simple project that can be done inside the cabin in a couple of hours for a newby. I agree big bang for buck.

Just think carefully about whether you want the REGULAR 9x7 shifter or the SHORT 9x7 shifter. They're both OEM, but the short shifter is more $. I did the shorty and love it.

Lots of info in this and renntech.org. The Search function is your friend.

Simple things first, remove the snorkel!
Your left ear will appreciate the music.
Your wallet, not so much because you'll always be looking for a reason to be around 4k rpm's.
Don't try pulling it off or it might take all day, mine came off easily when I bent it toward the back of the car.

I have had my '99 Boxster for two months. Here are my suggestions:

Safety, then Function, then Appearance:

Safety - New brakes (rotors and pads). An excellent braking system is always a great investment in a used vehicle and most used Porsche's are in need of replacement.

Function - New tires. Seems that every used Boxster needs new rear tires and you might as well do all four and get what you want. I got new Michelin PS2's.

Appearance - Painted brake calipers. Everyone will notice them and it really gives the car a great sports car look.

i definitely agree with desnorkeling. makes a difference. then, if you can, the crios muffler mod. search it. but, essentially, drilling holes in your pipes to give you the deep growl. it works!
