I can't help you with amber lights and memory seats (I have neither) but I've read that you can order an owner's manual from the dealer for around $15. Or, you can register as a member at www.renntech.org and download either a model year 2000 or 2003 owner's manual.

Thank you very much for the info and fast response. I downloaded the Manual, thats a god sent.

Thank you,

Dave

Dave, welcome to the list!

Manuals aren't $15... try more like $35 and a long wait. Mine was even dirty when I picked it up at the dealership! But it's REALLY helpful. Read it cover to cover.

Hey, you need to pick up some rollbar inserts. They'll cut down on wind and make your car look even better. Ebay has them for $125 used, and although these are cheap plastic pieces, they're made by Porsche and thus, overpriced.

Great looking car. Enjoy!

Thank you for the info, Ill do a search on ebay. I've seen them on other boxsters and I think they look great. Its amazing how much prices jump when you add a name to it, for instance Harley Davidson. Your going to pay out the wazoo for anything with HD on it..

The amber lights are small little diodes that emit light. They are also near the rear view mirror and as mentioned earlier they are to help the driver to find their way. They stay on for a substantial amount of time after the box is shut down.

I MIGHT have those plastic inserts lying around. If so, I would be happy to sell them to you. I will check later today.

And thanks to all for the kind words.

Best of luck with the Box; The white is very very nice indeed!

Brucelee,

I would be more than happy to purchase them from you if you have them. Thank you very much.

Welcome aboard!

Your car is beutiful! The white roll bar compliment it nicely.

Are the rims the turbo 17' style?

Gotta ask, they are close to mine which is a 2000 Boxster, but mine are maybe a bit older style rims than yours.
