2001 Boxster S

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.

Any 70's?

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.
