I'm with you.

I retrofitted an 04 top and frame on my 00 and the glass rear window and headliner make the car more usable. The plastic rear window cheapened the car. A glove box would be nice as well, but I don't think that is a simple swap. I have a black interior so I had a color-matched steering wheel from the start.

I also "de-ambered my car and l would not go back to the amber indicators.

Part of the fun of owning an old car is being able to modify it. I've added a lots of bits and pieces over the years and each one makes the car feel new to me. http://986forum.com/forums/general-discussions/55759-de-changed-some-interior-items.html

If I had a concours car I doubt I would do that or drive it as often as I do the Boxster.
