Default Christmas gift is to put some $ into the Boxster!

Okay, so I get to spend around $700 on our 02 Boxster S for Xmas! It is completely stock right now (we've only had it 6 months - Speed Yellow with 35k miles). Should I go for an exhaust or intake approach or perhaps upgrade the tail lights or maybe headlight covers (eyelids)? So many options and approaches...!

Colorado is pretty **** about emissions. I'm sure the test pipe is going to get me in trouble.

If you're happy with the music, give it a little face work. Tailights and some of those Porsche logos down the sides. They only look good, imo, on the yellow and white cars; the logos that is.

I'm seriously considering side skirts and maybe one of those tiny lip spoilers on the rear that goes in place of the stock one that sits flush with the rump. Eventually, I really would love to add a turbo-look front end (big, deep air intakes).
