What did you do with/to your Boxster today?

Today I also took off my front bumper cover as well. I did it to remove all the debris and dirt that was in the radiators. It doesn't show it that much in the pictures, but when I pulled the A/C condenser away from the radiator, about a pound and half of old leaves, dead bugs, and other junk fell out. I'm doing a track day in a few weeks, and it can't hurt to have the maximum airflow for cooling.

While I had the front bumper off, I also re-routed the emergency frunk release cable so it can now be reached through the front grille opening.

Yesterday I got new tires mounted! BFGoodrich Sport Comp 2's stock size in the rear, 225/45's in the front.

How tough was removing front to clean radiators? I need to do this.

It's pretty easy. The other poster suggested watching the you-tube video, which I didn't do. Watching it probably would have saved me some time, as I had to figure which screws needed to come out. If I ever do it again a second time, I'm guessing that it would take about ten minutes to do.

Be careful about what size mesh you put in the grill if you decide to do that. Anything under 1/4" mesh will really restrict airflow at highway speeds.
