here is from when I did the CV boots. check out the link in the thread.

FYI I have clearbra on my car. it was done local and I had the hood, fenders, and mirrors done (the bumper already had some marks so I passed on it. The cost was less than 300 dollars.

damn, less than 300? the one place was over 1000 for that plus the bumper.

I think the reason i am leary about the boots is b/c when i was 18, i tried to replace one on my pontiac 6000. It did not go well. I forget why, but that was 15 years ago and when i thought i knew how to fix cars.

I should be able to follow those instructions pretty well. I have done a ton of work to other cars, this one is just a little different

Your car looks beautiful in white. Any bump steer issues down so low?...

Many thanks, no problems at all but the underpinings are not exactly stock boxster, they are however stock cup. Funny you mentioon the ride height as I am going to be dropping it a hair more and swaping the dampers. It does not quali as a spec-boxster.

Here is an online DIY instruction guide for replacing the CV boots. It may give you additional info to help you decide if this is a task you want to handle yourself.

I feel the same about my Boxster. This car is absolutely amazing to me and I'm not easy to amaze given that I've owned 6 P-cars over the years including 996 TT and 996 GT3, two cars that are no slouches.
