Ultimately it is your car, your dough and your choice. Ask 10 different Boxster owners and you will get 10 different opinions. Here is one opinion from a guy who did a lot of hot rodding in his youth (Ford, Chevy, Honda, Nissan), spent a small fortune on go-fast goodies over the years, and has too many track days to count:

Ignore all the shiny lures and bolt-on bits and just drive the car. They will not make you measurably faster. Get it to the track as often as possible and really learn to drive your car at it's limits. American muscle responds well to cold air intakes, chips, manifolds, FI, exhausts, cams etc. A Porsche Boxster responds well to driving skill and tires. Fix the loose nut behind the steering wheel first. Then get a nice set of sticky tires.

Just one drivers opinion. Others will surely disagree. If you simply enjoy tinkering with your car, have at it. Some guys here have gotten results with bolt ons but usually it cost twice as much, took twice as long as they thought and fell short of their performance goals. I am a bit of a purist at this point. I have no interest in dyno slips. If it doesn't make my car more reliable or produce measurably faster laps, it doesn't go on my car.
