Best Investment for your Boxster.

[deliriousga]

I guess I'm just boring.

The best "investment" for my Boxster is the cover, windshield reflector and soon to be tinted windows. I guess it comes from owning an older P-car and seeing what the sun does to it over time, even when it's garaged. Tons of work fixing dash cracks and hard leather seats or $$$$ if you have someone else do it.

Only done 1 mod to the car - B&M shifter. Makes me feel like I'm driving a different car.

John, reconsider tinting the windows. I have very dark side windows and it looks stupid when you drive down the road topdown with the windows up to deflect wind. Well, that's my opinion anyway.

Now when the top is up on my 3x black box, the tint look stealthy... it's limo tint black. But I rarely drive this way.

I'm putting on the light color tint with high UV protection. It won't be black or mirror. It should look close to the same....I hope.

Hi,

I read somewhere (can't remember the source, but did write some notes), that Porsche Automotive Glass already has UV protective layers laminated in the Side Window Glass. That it provides 95% UV Protection. The two transparent UV Laminates are called Vanceva and Saflex. This would seem to make tinting, for UV protection anyway, redundant. Anyone else come across this, say in some Sales or Tech Literature?

Happy Motoring!...Jim'99

I concur with Jim. The existing tint on the Box is quite superior in anti UV and anti heat properties.

Cool!! That'll save me some bucks. What about the front window? The same stuff can go on it and it looks like clear glass. That's the part I'm most concerned with since the German dashes crack so easily.
