As requested here's a walk around of my 1998 Porsche Boxster 986 as I talk about all of the mods and maintenance I've done in my first two years of ownership. It's A LOT! If you own a Boxster or are thinking about buying one, I would highly recommend bookmarking my playlist on this car.
If you have any other things you'd like to see, please let me know!

Hi Aaron. I think I told you that you were the inspiration for me to carry out work on my own Boxster. One of the things that I have done was to spray the rear bumper panel. It had a couple of cracks in it, either side of the number plate. I know that you haven’t shown this as work you have done on the Boxster but you gave me the confidence to give it a try. I didn’t want to spray a small area and blend it in as I have seen bad jobs of that sort of thing before. I had never spray painted before so I watch about thirty plus videos on KZbin. I filled the cracks, sanded them, primed the panel and painted it. The result was far beyond my dreams of how I thought I may turn out. I thought of this when I saw the front panel damage on your car. You can do it yourself, let me inspire you this time 😀. Go for it. If it doesn’t work out you haven’t lost anything apart from the cost of a few cans of paint. It has been one of the most satisfying things I have done. What do you think?

Thanks for the videos, I have a 1997 986 I have owned for over 6 years, I have put 45,000 miles for total milage of 145,000. I do my own work also one thing I did which I really enjoy is Numeric shifter and Numeric Cables what a difference! It feels like direct shifting like my first Roadster an MGB. I would highly recommend. I also changed my front suspension all Polly bushings. I'm going to change rear suspension this year. Two years ago I had to change Master cylinder and Power boost, changed AOS and plumbing and valve, front engine mount, Rotors and Pads, headlights three different sets, cleaned all drains and had to replace the drain tube in front of left rear wheel. And regular maintenance plugs, filters.I have found working on this car easier than most others people find it hard to believe but it is.

New owner of a 2001 986. Jumped over from the Volvo 850R and T5R ownership and having Robert Spinner as the go to guy there. I did subscribe to your channel and look forward to following your mods & maintenance videos. Luckily, I bought my car from an established mechanic so most maintenance items were up to date other than I had to do an oil change. A lot of first-time shocks like the 9.2 quarts but also finding out that a plastic push pin is $11.50, that's each. The 850 parts were comparable to a high volume domestic vehicle, like a Taurus. I felt as if I had entered some rarefied air with the 986.. On the flip side of that I went for for an extended ride , along lake Erie, and realized this car is an entirely different animal. Definitely rarefied air!

Of course the sucky thing here in Northern California is they give you a ticket for not having a front license plate but your bumper does look cool not to mention misusing those bumperetts in the back on the tail lights too. You’ve done great job on the car.

Looking great, really appreciate the videos. I have a 2000 model for which you have inspired a very long laundry list of projects! One question: somewhere in another video you had mentioned replacing the vanity mirror covers to get rid of those silly American warning labels. I cannot find anybody who sells them, other than paying for the whole assembly used. Seems like a lot for some cheap plastic covers. Any chance you would share where you were able to get your 3D printed ones? TIA and keep the videos coming! Liked and subscribed!

You said you ceramic coated that car, it looks like it still has swirls and smears. I do that for a living so it’s not hard to notice. Just got myself a 2000 Boxster and already looking to make it look better
