GAHH now says it *must* be installed by a top shop, and they provide no instructions.

WTF? Is this the end of the semi-competent "do it yourselfer"? :rolleyes:

Question Where to buy NEW door shell?

I trashed my door, and need an entirely new door shell.

Any suggestions? I need a body parts supplier, new, not used.

Thanks, all!

I'm installing it myself. I'm stupid that way.

Looked at the glass tops, but figure the plastic one will last the 3-4 more years that I'll be keeping THIS Boxster..

Need driver's side door.

I'm looking for the driver's side for a 2000 Boxster. The car is guards red, but I can repaint it. Banged mine up pretty well, and it may be cheaper than having a body shop fix it.

Any leads,...

Ipod connection to CDR-220?

Anyone done this? Is it possible to wire directly to the head unit or amp?

The FM transmitters apparently have very poor sound quality.
