Nice video – thanks for the tips!
"these bolts are made of chocolate" – yep, it's lines like that that'll win you subscribers! Following along as I have long considered a rear sway bar but have no real sense of real world improvement. Be well and keep up the good work.
What is the size of the nut and bolts you've shown for the exhaust? Might look for some titanium ones so they can be replaced and then forgotten about
Very helpful video. Can you pass on links to ppf and rubber strip supplier(s) I would like to fit both to my 2016 981 Boxster S.I would like to come on one of your drives maybe when this is all over. Not far away just outside Perth.Thanks
Hi sorry just found links!
Going to pick up my first Boxster next week. It's an older 2002 but new to me. #excited. Enjoying your videos but trust me… I wont have to worry about occasionally using the aircon on max. Currently living in Vegas and phew it's toasty 😉 Subbd
Very informative. Hope to join the fold soon.
Great tips! Especially thank you for sharing the rubber tube one. I'll try rubber protection at the rear of my Boxster.
I enjyoy watching your videos!

4 years isn’t often enough on the bolts. Mine are well gone on 2016 Spyder.
