Found this little treat while changing my oil. Lord knows how long it’s been in there

I mounted my Klisstle roll bar covers on my Boxster. They look great and are way easier to paint and install than removing the roll bar. They can be easily removed to put the car back to stock too. If you are interested he has a post on the Boxster Parts for Sale forum here.

Nails and screws are an occupational hazard for me. I build houses. Probably find one every other month in one of my vehicle. That one doesn't look like it's been in there all that long. You could probably plug that your self

It's almost like they're invisible. Those look like they blend in, you can't even see them.

Front end noise resolved.

When I bought my 986 there was a distinct squeak and clunk each time I drove over a bump in the road. Since then I replaced both drop links, inner and outer ball joints, coffin arms and tuning forks (for loss of the proper name). All went well but none of this resolved the front end noise. Understanding that it could ultimately be strut or bushing related, I changed out the sway bar bushings to attempt an option of lesser cost and ease of replacement. Well, that did the trick. All front end noises are resolved. Feels so good to have finally fixed the problem.

Nicely done. Do you have a DIY of it to watch/read? I’m thinking about doing this for my Cayman.
