What is holding that cup holder up?

If its just tape, I'd be weary of putting a drink in there. Last thing you need is to have to clean up a puddle of pepsi in your new car.

It is screwed into the dash. I'm going to remove it, and see what kind of damage is under there.

Nice touch for a Canadian car, a maple leaf on the floor mat.

btw, get the latest coolant cap if this wasn't already done. And don't flush the coolant without replacing the coolant tank, they get brittle with age and the flush job could split it open within a few months.

Thanks for the advice, I hadn't thought of that.

Thanks for the coolant cap tip!! a friend and I put in a water pump this weekend, and after we were done, the car seemed to be losing fluid, but I couldn't find a leak. Put on a new cap, and everything seems fine now.

Wow, mega clean find! the blue on blue is a particularly beautiful look on the Boxster. It still is, even on the 2014 models.
Congrats!
