I am glad it worked for you. Owners of 2000 base Boxsters in artic silver need to support each other.

Yes, indeed! My 986 was such a super deal, I would've bought it regardless of the color, but silver/black has always been a favorite of mine, so I lucked out. The paint on mine has a couple dings, so after I get the interior squared away I'll grab my airbrush and turn my attention to the exterior. By the way, I really, really like the stock Turbo wheels, although some folks replace them with other styles of wheels. I also like the 986's stock headlights. There's no accounting for taste.
