The only thing I would do different is a navy blue top instead of black over
silver.

I'm retired also. Car is essentially stock except for an Alpine radio and a Diehard battery. I also use quality aftermaket air/oil filters to avoid the stealership. Same stuff, just in a different box.
edit: forgot the clear side markers

I like my 2003 Boxster S completely stock and plan to keep it that way...unless I have an IMS failure, then I'll look to transplant a 3.6L into it and make it even more fun to drive.

For the Road, stock has more performance than I could use legally (or close to).
Being thrifty, as I need to replace, then I look at upgrade options. I hate to replace good parts for the sake of change, though the front bumper could use something.
Personally I wish they had made the car more basic.
All that electric crap are just dollars that should have gone into the car's performance and durability.
Sorry for that

Like the car stock

I'm all stock, but only because I can't afford to upgrade.

If I had the money, I'm not sure if I would start upgrading parts. Probably not. Probably a sign of maturing. Ugh. Not looking forward to that.

Geez... Got a '98 Boxster about a year ago... Then suddenly it became this racecar!!! So I guess I modded it..... Just retired at 61 and I race it as much as I can get out! You young guys can't have all the fun!
