Anyone know the Porsche part numbers for the Makassar wood shifter with sand beige leahter boot and matching Makassar E-brake with same leather? Thank you

Given your situation I would take a Boxster over those others in a heart beat. I would get the MY09 (more bhp) with the PDK7
no clutch to worry about and fastest shifting possible especially in aggressive acceleration.
:D

You mean besides the built-in high-g CD holder some models years have? It can only hold 4 CDs, but does so very nicely.
I just went and bought an MP3 player with built-in FM transmitter. It plugs right into the cigarette lighter and has a nice little LCD screen- looks great, and works well.
Does your car have the storage compartment behind seats between rollbar? Or do you have a subwoofer there?
-
Only thing I think this car needs now is some Wood highlights in interior of that real dark wood, and maybe a 2009 limited slip diff then it is a very unique Boxster set up for driving pleasure!

Thanks I had dealer in Denver area do it (Prestige Imports). $1300 for paint and install. Car now has some aspects of Limited edition and the RS-60
So, that was $1,300 for the rear bumper cover, spoiler, paint and install? Seems like a pretty good deal. Did you or are you planning to do the front splitters too?
Did Sunset just sell you the aero kit for the rear end?
Yes it included front rs-60 type aero splitters. Have pix in my registry. Sunset gave great deal. Was only one left in country
paid $3700 with shipping for aero kit option code is XAL.
-
Looks good! Glad you got it corrected. Who did the paint work on the aero kit? What was the total$? Not cheap, I'm sure.

COBOXSTER-S, can you post a picture of your car? What did the parts guys at Sunset say? They are great guys, and can maybe help you too.
Yeah I have to post them tonite after work. Kit looks awesome otherwise. I found a TSB for the sport design package option XAL here on site and there seems to be an adjustable screw on top of rod. Now just have to see if I can screw that rod down the 1/2 inch or if it is already bottomed out.
Here is a picture of gap

Hi if any of the monitors are online can you tell me if I can print out the TSB I can read online here? I can't seem to get it to work.

Darn OK was going to give copy to the body shop so they could fix my spoiler

Did a dealership do the work? I wonder if there is any necessary re-programing ron the DME equired??
Yeah that's the rub a dealership did do the work so I could keep it under manufacturer's warranty. I don't think DME is involved other than speed trigger at 75 MPH. I told them I found TSB info on this site and I think they are a little embarrased.

Does it look like this? It looks like there is a gap in this photo/drawing:
http://e-partssales.com/Merchant2/merchant...gory_Code=987ak
Yes that is it. Don't you think those look flush? Certainly less than 1/2 inch I would say.
Look at end pieces they look like they touch mine has a 1/2 in gap there too.

Hi I finally got my aero kit on the 2008 Boxster-S but when I picked it up I noticed a gap between bottom of upper moveable spoiler and fixed duck-tail base. About 1/2 inch. I called shop and they said that was first one they had put on and could not get it to go down any lower. I verified they had top wing pushed all the way down on posts. The kit I had was supposed to have everything you need to make change. It was obviously a factory kit I got through Sunset imports off this site. Anyone know if that wing is adjustable so I can take gap out? Everey picture I have seen of aero kit and the Limited Edition from 2008 (which has same rear system) shows them flush when closed all the way.
Thanks for any advice.
-
I don't have it but have seen it. Much more smooth, shiny appearance. Very Nice. I want to use the dark wood accents in future I think those are very good looking.
-
I can drop mine from about 12 inches and it will latch. You might just need to adjust it to latch tighter
-
Hi Depends on your option codes. But I have a very simple interior with leather sport adaptive seats. The door handle, pockets and shifter boot are leather (as of course the seats) But I think everything else is synthetic. Look at my registry pix and I have a good shot of interior.
-
I bet that is going to look quite nice if you do go forward with it. I was just now looking at an NHP version which appears similar in nature from Maxspeed Motorsports...little less $. Please do post some pics once installed. Any plans for your stock S tip?
I will probably sell stock tip if I can. I will post pix on my registry. I am trying to combine highlights of both the RS-60 and the Limited Edition in 1 car.

Was looking at LSD for my 2008 BoxsterS and they did not offer this as a factory option in 08 apparently. I know they offer it in 2009 model. Does anyone think it would work on the 2008 S model?
Thanks
-
Thanks for advice, I called and checked and you can loosen stock mufflers and slip this one right on with no hassle or modifications. FYI apparently they have a new "improved" version of the RS60 tips what that was Suncoast wasn't sure.
-
Hello I was going to change my stock exhaust tips off 08 Boxster-S for the newer RS-60 style. It looks pretty straight forward but has anyone done this and are there any catches or tricks to know about?
Thanks

Try checking cost on "minor" maintenance on say a Ferrari! But he is partly right If you see what they do and divide their time into it I would bet it is way higher than their usual "labor rate". That is how I would do it with them. I would see what the interval involves and just ask them to do them ala carte at their usual labor rate and see if it comes out cheaper.
If car is under warranty better to let the dealer do it. I aggre though I think the guys were just trying to be funny take it for what it is.
2009 Boxster LSD in a 2008 BoxsterS?
in 987-1 Series (Boxster, Boxster S)

Yes I have seen that and is probably what I will do. Will it work with the PASM suspension system?
