Am I the only one....

63 years old here. My 03 is completely stock and that's the way I like it, although I might like to swap out the radio for another Porsche model that I can use my iPhone with.

Like I told my son when he started slammin' Miatas, every car starts as a clean sheet of paper, and all the components are designed to interact with each other in a way that the engineer(s) intended.

Any time you change anything, whether it's the suspension, engine, bodywork or anything else, it will affect many other parts of the car.

He learned the hard way.

Boxstockster all the way.

I wouldn't consider changing out the radio a deviation from stock.

What cracks me up is when Boxster owners list their "mods", and one of them is "bumper plugs"! Too funny.

I knew there was something I forgot to list.

At 50, I don't care too much for heavy modding the car. I'd rather think of getting the car I want for the ride I want. I'm looking to get a nice 964/993/996 sometime in the near future rather than push the Boxster to be something its not meant to be. Besides, that'll give me at least one car that will be up and running when I have to fix the other.

I really like the lines of the 986 and wouldn't mess with aero kits, wings, skirts, etc. (I was never a real fan of these kits in all my previous cars.) my ideal mods would be limited to upsized wheels (19") and some carbon fibre bits in the interior to update the interior. Let's just say i'm looking for an updated OEM look!

Now that the aftermarket radio installed by the PO has stopped working, I'm vacillating between a 2 DIN replacement or just source an original head unit. And even if I go 2 DIN, I really hope it looks like OEM still.

I guess I'm straddling the fence here between bone stock and modified!

I was thinking about I. My 2000 Boxster S has a factory Short shift kit and stainless steel sport exhaust and new glass windowed top.. Some did change out the front blinkers to clear but I have the originals...

There, I confessed..

I wouldn't have done that a few years a go..

Oh, I sold my 2007 Ducati GT1000 today.. I must be getting old.

You are forgiven, my son.

78 and on my 8th Porsche over 43 years. Sold a pristine 356A to get into a more travel-worthy car. The 04 Boxter S will stay mostly stock except for some sensible mods such as a mag drain plug and any other longevity bits. Also, seriously, it has little bitty non-dandy front tiny chrome license plate hole plugs unobtrusive on an Artic Silver car. They don't chip their paint off like BP's.
