Finally decided to pick up a 99 Boxster 114k miles -pics

Nice car! You should have the double row IMSB in that car so the upgrade isn't quite as pressing as it might be for owners of later cars. Given your mileage, I would definitely have a look at the front motor mount pretty soon if it isn't done. If you do it, might as well do the water pump, coolant, and thermostat while you're in there.

If I might make a suggestion... I notice the amber section on your headlights is quite faded when compared to the corner pieces. My first cosmetic upgrade on the car would be clear headlights, side makers, and tail light lenses. I think that would make much more impact than new rims.

Again, that really is a very nice looking car. Welcome to the forum!

Any suggestions? I want to do red clears on the tails, clear headlights and smoke corner lens. Nothing really good on eBay. Your thoughts?

Be patient and watch the forum for sale ads. something will come along sooner or later. you have to watch closely though because the good deals go fast.

I got my clear headlights (Bosch) online but not ebay, I bought the clear side markers new from Pelican, and I think I got my clear tail lights from someone here. The hunt is all part of the fun.

You might want to re-think the drilled rotors - they tend to crack from the holes outward, they are more prone to squealing, they are more expensive, and they will provide no discernible benefit on a street car.
