i'm not a purist but when it comes to my Boxster, there's nothing I feel the need to change. I love the way it looks and handles. Stock stereo sounds outstanding.

That's stock!
It's the antenna for the elusive option 618 Preparation for telephone installation.

I only use that telephone to call JD (Johnny Danger)
You actually gave me an idea RE "sat" radio. I could change my old unit. Quickly closed the browser when I saw the prices. Geez man, never expected those to be that expansive

I went to the outlaw look not long after buying my Boxster as I didn't like the orange and red tail lights or the side marker lights. My first tail light change was to the black and red LED. A few years later, after the car was painted, I decided on the 550 Spyder edition tail lights which are all red, except the back up. I kept the Boxster emblem off as I think it is one of the cheapest looking things on the car. The side marker lights are smoke and the head lights no longer have the egg yolk. I like the clean look of the car now especially with the 18" rims. Not stock but close enough with just enough personal preference.

Yeah... I go back to stock with the amber ones but now I am on the hunt for the red 550 SE tail lights. I have a feeling they'll look good on the guards red. I have a left hand side one already and I'll keep my eyes open for right side one.

Well, in case you don't want to wait for a needle in a haystack here they are at Suncoast. They're marked down but when I bought mine from them they were trying to give them away. Mine were $225 when they were desperate. Looks like they got popular.
