Thanks for all the comments. I'm very fond of the white color too!
The exhaust is considerably lighter than stock, which I think losing some weight at the very back of the car is a good thing.
Please don't let the pretty looking car fool you! I think I got a good Boxster for the money, but it has plenty of things that will need to be addressed (and some that I probably won't address). If I took this car to my local specialist to fix it all, it would feel like a fairly idiotic buy. But this is what I expect for my budget purchase and I will spend many hours and hundreds, probably thousands, of dollars over time keeping it going. But in the meantime, I get to drive the hell out of it!

I'm a fan of the 17" wheels that came on the Boxster, but I just think these cars take on a whole new attitude with the right wheels. I have friend who had a beautiful Cayman S with aftermarket wheels. He was selling the car to make room for his new Cayman GTS and I knew he had the stock wheels hanging around. I thought they were 18" inch Carrera wheels but when I contacted him, he told me they were actually 19" Carrera Classics (which I love), and that he would give me a smoking deal on them with good Michelin Pilot Super Sports if I would get them out of his garage. So, I did what you're not supposed to do on an early Boxster and bolted on big wheels. Still have the 17s though.
