Since I've now put about 200 miles on it, I've begun to notice that it is a somewhat strangely optioned vehicle.
It has the Tiptronic, and full leather interior, but no cruise control, no rear glove box, no keyless entry, and the 16" wheels.
My other '99 does not have full leather or Tip, but has cruise, keyless, rear glove box, and 17" wheels. Odd.

Twomato... awesome, I'll look for the Meg products availability. I'll also go try it out on my Dad's work car. The headlights on it are an extreme case.

I agree completely. It would appear that original purchasers customized these cars,and some quite uniquely during the order process.
I have an S, very lightly optioned, but with DSP?! I guess the original purschaser was a minimalist, but wanted the best possible tunes available at the time.
That and colour choices too... A bit over a year ago, I saw a Guards Red Boxster for sale with a Metropol Blue interior. The dealer was touting it as a rare colour combination. Yeah, right. Just painfully horrid to look at is more like it.

On the other hand, your Arctic Silver/Nephrite Green combination is rather cool. I'm digging it. Now go out and drive it already. Make up for the guys like me that hibernate ours for the winter!

It would appear that the original owner wanted the basic $39,995 model, but just couldn't live without the Nephite Green leather interior.

Can you post a pic of the white label inside the frunk lid?

Just wonderin'.......
