You might consider removing the red carpeting inside and swithcing for dark grey

I once walked on water but only for a nanosecond. Not sure about the grey carpet( it does look good) but I'll take those seats any day (Recaros?). Great looking interior!

Yes those are the Recaro GT3 seats. I picked those up early on in my Boxster ownership, glad I didn't hesitate because they are tough to find in this color without spending a big chunk of change. That's not my car in the pic though (its basalt grey, my car is arctic silver) and I have the center console painted silver with a carbon fiber shifter. I still need to get rid of the red carpeting on the door and foot wells. I don't think carpeting on the door of a sports car is in keeping with this design or makes any sense to me. I will probably change the carpeting to dark grey on the rear shelf as well. I'm a big fan of the classic red on silver, but I think the red stands out better if there's not so much of it. I want to also add some Rennline pedals and the thing behind the pedals.

I looked at this Recaros a while back and as I recall they were about half of what I paid for my Box. Great find on your part they look fabulous. I'd settle for a set of Boxster Red sport seats but those are like finding the needle in the haystack. The gray carpet is growing on me, did you buy the carpet used from a wrecked Boxster or have an upholstery shop do it?
