Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

2 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 2Original post

Welcome, I purchased mine back in July and so far I haven't added anything to it. Well actually I have addded something, over 6k miles. I did do the Crios mod, if you search the forum you will find instructions. I just haven't seen anything that I want to change on mine, it has the 17" wheels and it's an 03 base car, so it has the glass back window. Just browse on here and I am sure you will see something that you like and people on this forum I have found to be very friendly as well as helpfull. So I want towelcome you again as a new Boxster owner and I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoy mine.
