I have a '99 Boxster too. I have been happily upgrading for the past few months, without going over $3k. It depends on what you want to do.
I would definitely recommend doing the OBC hack if your car doesn't have it. Spoiler stickers are a fun addition, especially with the in-dash spoiler switch mod. There's also desnorking, hardtops, clear headlights, etc.
It's up to you what you want to do.

Desnork A few Horses
LOWER IT!! Handles great and looks sharp
Short shift Kit Adds to fun to drive factor
I like the GT3 bumper and side skirts Looks great (see my car)
Buy a used exhaust All for the sound!!!

Gotta upgrade those wheels to some 18"ers. That will gobble up at least 2 grand with tires. After that I'd go for the Turbo sytle or GT2 bumper. It make a huge difference on the looks. I can't stand the stock front bumper that Boxsters come with. It's going to cost more then 3 grand so keep saving your$$. Upgrading the lights all the way around make a big improvment too.

I have to warn you though, once you start installing upgrades, it becomes addicting. Good luck with what ever you decide. Post some pics when your done.
