Best Investment for your Boxster.
What would you guys consider the best investment/enhancement you have done to your boxster? Any part,any price.

I have to say that a new set of wheels are a must. Second, you have to change the orange lights to the clear lense lights all around your car. Last but not least, you have to swap the exhaust with an aftermarket exhaust, or better yet, the PSE.

New stereo system, including rear speakers. Huge difference in sound quality between the Alpine unit I have now and the CDR210 I had before. The rear speaker shelf also makes a huge difference.

Yes, sound systems and the right wheels are really a must!

investment
I'm not sure if it's the best investment, but adding the rear speakers was a big boost to the overall quailty of the audio system.
Should be standard.

Hi,
Interesting, if not surprising, responses to date - all about Dress-up or Creature Comfort, guess I didn't expect that from a bunch of Enthusiasts.
I'd say the single geatest investment/enhancement I've made on my Boxster was the addition of Front and Rear Strut Tower Braces.
They greatly improved the Handling, while increasing Rigidity, which totally eliminated all rattles (I know the Boxster is one of the most rigid Convertibles out there, but add these Braces and find out how much of a Wet Noodle it really is). It also reduced the Body Roll significantly as well.
It wasn't the first Mod I did to the car (I've done the Rear Speaker install, OBC Hack w/ 4th stalk, Euro Side Marker Hack, Garage Opener Hack, installed Fire Extinguisher and Bracket, installed Illuminated Sun Visors, intergrated Cup Holders, De-Snorkel hack). But it was definitely the one with the most Bang for the Buck. It would be the first Mod I would suggest to anyone, the results are amazing!
Happy Motoring!...Jim'99

Hi, what brand strut supports did you use, and do you have any pix of the install?
