I can't tell how many times I've heard people call it a Porsche "BOXER" because of the engine design.

Congrats! Looks slammed -- lower than X73. What suspension is that?

It was listed as a JRZ touring 1 adjustable suspension with Tarrett sway bars and other goodies.

Looks great! Front bumper looks like its a GTS but seats are the non-GTS standard ones (not Sport Plus). Is it a GTS? If not, why a GTS bumper?

That car looks mean just sitting there. I'm not sure how she will get it over any parking lip, though. Still, if I were her, I wouldn't let you drive it till you spelled "Boxster" 100 times on a blackboard

Previous owner replaced it. It also has an FVD Brombacher exhaust, OZ racing wheels/Michelin pilot, ECU tune with K&N filter and Rotora brakes besides the suspension upgrades.
Went out for a late night cruise last night and so far we are loving it (a lot).
