In the meantime, I guess I can show you where I work on my Boxster. This is my home away from home (my garage).

I stopped by the shop yesterday to check on the progress of my car. The right side of the car has been wet sanded and polished. Kind of hard to tell in the pic cause the lighting wasn't that great.
You can see how shiny the paint is coming out by the mirror finish on the hood. Can you see the Ghost Stripe? It's kinda hard with my reflection.
The re-assembly should begin this week!

The reassembly has begun!
The rear bumper cover, trunk lid and clam shell have all been attached. The new Depo tail lights and center brake light installed too.
Next, he'll be ghost striping the rear spoiler and wing. The rear bumper guards are getting painted as well.
Can you see the ghost stripe? Can't wait to see it in the sunlight.

We can't wait to see it either! Can barely see the stripe. Would love to see it in person. It is looking great!

Where did you get that 3rd brake light? I've been looking for one for a long time. The car looks awesome!

So, the progress continues. I am pretty sure I will be getting the car back by the end of this week!
The new GT2 front bumper cover and hood have been installed. Since they were in the midst of working on it, she's pretty dusty. When clean, you can really see the ghosted stripe, but nearly impossible when dirty.
They still have to install the front lower lip, headlights, side mirrors, passenger door, rear wing and side-skirts. They should all go in pretty quickly.
Should I put the Porsche Badge on the hood or leave it off? What do you all think?

Definately put the crest on, I would also put the script on the trunk. While I don't like "over-badging" the car, like a beautiful woman she does need to wear some designer labels

Seems unanimous to put the Porsche Badge back on. Was leaning that way too.
I ordered a new silver badge for the hood. Also, ordered the newer P O R S C H E chrome letters instead of the script Boxster for the rear (like the 2013 Boxster).
Coffinhunter, I think that will be designer enough for her
Thanks for all of your input.

Great choice on the rear badging.
