Mods & Plans
Car came to me with following mods:
Orton Performance ECU remap
Europipe Stage 2 Loud exhaust
Bailey diverter valves
K&N Filter
Bilstein PSS9 coilovers
Eibach 3-way adj swaybars
19" Champion RG5 Titanium wheels with Michelin Sport 235/30 and 315/25
B&M short shifter
Teqequipment roll bar
RUF pedals
Rear wiper delete
Painted bumperettes
Future Mods
I always wanted to do the GT2 front end and rear spoiler upgrades, but I think I'll just enjoy the car for now, look around at all the other cool things peole do, and make some decisions down the road.
I'm keen on black wheels but couldn't bring myself to paint these beautiful Champions; I did buy a set of stock Turbo wheels (for track); anybody got pics or recommendations on how these look black? powder coat or reg. paint?; I heard the heat from powder coating is not good for the hollow spokes; would appreciate any feedback.
Thanks for everyone's comments.

I've got a black 02 Boxster S and I picked up some slightly road-rashed twists cheap, had them lightly sandblasted and powdered coated black. Looks fantastic. Completely changed the look of the car--much more aggressive. Your Turbo doesn't need help in that department, but I think black on black looks fantastic.
Here's a shot of the Boxster at our fall Rallye:
Here's another photo from our "Cars & Coffee"--3 black on black.

Thanks for great pics; tough if you don't have a black car in your gang! Think I'll definetly paint the stock wheels black from DE track days; may leave a little silver or polished strip around outer rim.

I wanted to leave a silver edge, but they couldn't tape it off and have it look good because the edge is rounded which doesn't give a good tape line. They did suggest polishing, but the powder coating place didn't do it and I would have had to find someone so I skipped it. It would look cool.
