Likewise I considered a trade, but I'm already married. I get more use from the car.
What did you get?

That is great. Did you consider doing the ones behind the LCDs? When I did mine I did them all.

I have done behind the LCD's that's why they are green. To create the original orange there is a yellow piece of plastic that the original red LED's went through creating the orange so with that yellow piece of plastic still in there it's created the green with the blue LED's. I will replace the yellow plastic with a white piece at some point

I’m supposed to be fixing my braking issue (new pads and new/used MC are on the bench), but have been screwing around with this instead

That is really cool PW. Do you have a 3D printer to make your prototype surround?

removed the yellow filters from the LCD displays and drew around them on a white ice cream tub, cut them out and installed them. Perfect result :-)

I spent most of the weekend fighting Satan's ball joint. With a lot of hitting, spitting, cursing and violence it finally came out.

Finally got around to upgrading the audio system. Replaced the head unit and amp with a double din Pioneer 2550.

Two good days and a bad one
Had two really good days with the Porsche before one bad day...
Good days:
Friday morning it was time to renew my registration and we passed safety and emissions with flying colors. I was planning on taking a long drive the next day so decided to finally upgrade the head unit so I could enjoy the comforts of bluetooth and apple carplay. Moved the climate controls to behind the stick and added a double DIN Kenwood unit. I was very pleased with the way it came out. I definitely prefer the look even though it meant abandoning my original intention of keeping as stock as possible.
Saturday, woke up early and took it out for a nearly 800-mile roundtrip drive from my home in St. Louis, Missouri to South Bend, Indiana to take in a football game at Notre Dame. My Boxster did the trip very well and I was very comfortable in it even though we drove through some snow and rain. I came home more in love with my car than ever before.
Bad day:
Sunday, clean the Porsche up from the road trip and head out to run a few errands and low and behold, I get backed into by a Jeep Grand Cherokee just hard enough to damage the front bumper and hood. The driver was nice though and her insurance will pick up the damage but man alive, I was supremely pissed. Car is drivable and fixable and of course no one was hurt and could've been worse but the situation is frustrating to say the least.

That is bummer, sorry to hear but like you said, it could have been worse.

Put the Blizzaks on for the winter ahead. We've already had nearly 24" of snow this season in the foothills of the Rockies so the Contis has to go off until April or so.

Purchased it a week ago. Drove to Carmel on Friday to pick up a replacement hardtop (dark blue, will trade for metallic black). Put stain cleaner on a big carpet stain that I was worried about. It came right out. Cleaned the interior. Ordered a few replacement parts (hard top cam locks/frunk plastic moulding/few plastic rivets) and... Ordered Soul Performance exhaust on Black Friday.
