The black one looks awesome. We have the same year and model of boxster The milage is also about the same (8000 km).

I agree about the look of the rims. I'm looking for a good replacement as well and thinking to change them out to 18'' Techart Formula wheels (silver) when the tires run out.

Nice ride. Some Carrera light wheels would look sweet on that thing.

Ah, you've finally transcended and moved up to a Porsche, but a bit unwillingly from what I read between the lines of your intro post!

I believe you will find that the boxster handles corners far better than your Z3 due to the midship engine.

The aluminum bits that can be put in the car just don't look natural to me, but you can find them from time to time on Ebay... but all sellers, be it an Ebay seller or a stealership are so proud of these items that they go for a king's ransom.

I do not think the 987's steering wheel will work on a 986, but ask your service manager and he can find out from a mechanic. I make this assumption because I've never heard of it or seen it done. Your existing 3 spoke wheel and airbag are worth a bunch of cash on Ebay. Everyone with an old 4 spoke wants these as an interior upgrade item.

Thanks for the comments, you meant the Z4?

No, really I love the Porsche and yes I consider it a huge upgrade. Exclusivity, style, handling, performance.

What I probably tried to imply is that people I am around usually would prefer a more modern look such as 987 or the Z4 I have/had.

It does not come down to them though, it only comes down to me and I for one love that 986!

As for steering wheel and interior I will investigate further! Again thanks!
