Let me ask my question a different way...
Is the monitor part of the radio?

If it is all one monitor can you watch the HKS and listen to music on the same radio? So you would have the video of the HKS and the audio of lets say your IPOD or XM?

I looked into getting the Brockway ( http://www.brockwayengineering.com/products.html )display but I am afraid that when I have the gauges on the display the other radio functions would be useless?

Plus, how about a few photos of the inside.

Growing up the car magazines said how amazing Porsches are. Was I brainwashed? Somehow...I doubt it.

I'll try to get some photos of my interior. My monitor is not integrated into the dash. It's actually a separate monitor that's mounted just below the sight line to be legal in California. So the monitor and HKS CAMP in my car is a completely independent system from the stereo. I had it integrated with the stereo in my last car, but that was a complete aftermarket system. My Boxster has the DSP stereo system and other than switching drivers I haven't screwed with that yet. So yes, I can watch anything on the monitor and still listen to anything on the radio as they are separate units.

A Few More Pictures

Here are a few more photos:

The BSA wheels have a nice lip in the rear. The photo shows the chrome lug bolts installed. I got them for $75 from Vertex Auto - a set of 20. They're very good quality. I'll put up a separate post about them sometime as I took lots of photos.

I installed a Polk 5.25" driver in the stock door location. This required a little Dremel modification of the plastic enclosure, but it fit well. I've got a Mark Levinson 3.5" and the matching Polk tweeter to install in the dash yet.

The Dzus fastener holds the CF hood down tight. When the hood is made the materials shrink and create a less than perfect fit with the finished product. Just about all of the CF hoods I've seen on Boxsters and 996's bulge in the middle as a result. This was my fix - custom brackets underneath and a Dzus 1/4 turn fastener on each side of the hood. My hood lies nice and flat now.

S Badge

I've totally de-badged the exterior of my car. The Porsche wheel crests are gone since I have aftermarket wheels and the hood crest is gone because I have a carbon fiber hood. All that was left was the rear "Boxster S" badge. This was my answer - just a simple, red "S". I want to leave folks guessing... Maybe they'll see the car zoom by and they'll say, "Wow, look at that S car go".

Gemballa GT Rear Bumper

Here's the current project - a Gemballa GT rear bumper, exhaust, and side skirts. This photo was from when I test fitted the bumper cover. It's just on there loose, but seems to fit okay. I still have a lot of work to do though. I need to install the exhaust and modify the metal bumper to accommodate the exhaust and the shape of the bumper cover.

Exhaust pipe caps? Gets rid of those unsightly holes!

Mesh over the intake? Tinting headlights? Those "mods" seem counter-productive, no?
