It has the Aerokit I...very nice. I love the color. Do yourself a favor and invest in the wind deflector and the mesh inserts. That color is hot.

That is a beautiful color! Gorgeous car.
Depending on your age, you may want to re-think replacing the exhaust. Many aftermarket mufflers are excessively loud and have a lot of drone.
I have the exact same wheels.

Yeah, the stock radio is pretty crap.... FWIW, you can patch into it really easy and cheap if you want to stay stock. I used the aux in cable from becker to hook up a bluetooth setup so I could use my phone and play digital music.
Tasteful spoiler too, usually I don't like them but yours is nice.

Imho
One of the first things I did with my Guards Red Box was to get rid of the amber front, back, and sides. But, I really think it works with your Zanzibar Red. Probably going to get some push back on this, but I think it should stay.
You have a beautiful ride and you're gonna have a lot of fun with her.

That is one of the best looking Boxster's I've ever seen. I wouldn't change a thing.

VERY NICE!
Is that an 01? That is a great color!! It looks almost blood red at night ... I know because I almost bought that same color and option package S.
Unfortunately it was not well serviced so I passed on it and bought mine a week later.
Great find ... enjoy!!!

I agree. I think the amber looks fantastic with that color.

black_box,
What did you use to connect your phone via bluetooth? I have a galaxy s3 and am about to order the headphone jack. If there was a device to connect via bluetooth, it may be worth a shot for me.

Just over 61k when I bought it. Thanks to the road trip and trying to get in as much driving as I can before winter, it's pretty close to 63k now.

Yeah, I came to the same conclusion. I still can't decide if I'm going to leave the amber on the headlights when I upgrade to HID but I'll definitely keep it on the sides.

I'll post a few when I get some time. Nothing too crazy though, not too many options on the inside.

I'm thinking about doing a complete stereo overhaul as it currently only has the dash speakers. The only thing that I can't decide right now is whether to go with a double-DIN unit or the ipad mini setup with a single-din unit below.
