Default If you had 5k to spend. (Upgrades) What would you buy?

Looking to purchase my first ever Porsche I want to do some performance and visual upgrades. Here is what I am thinking....

What would you do differently?

Soul Performance Products - Valved Exhaust System $2999.95
BMC Performance Air Filter $199.99
Agency Power GT3 Throttle Body Upgrade Kit $930.00
Short Shift Kit $249.99
Side Marker Lights - LED $120.00
GT4 Rear Diffuser $519.95

I really like the idea of the dash trim kit to match the exterior, that is another $750

I put a Fabspeed Valvetronic exhaust on my 2011 987.2. No regrets! Love it. It has a nice sound with the valves closed, and then it's full race car mode with the valves open. No drone, either, which is nice. The sounds really starts to come on when the revs build to 3,000RPM. I installed the "Shift Right Solution" bearing kit on my shifter. Not a short shifter, but it really tightened up the shift mechanism, along with Numeric Racing shifter cables. I also put in clear LED side marker lights. Looks much better.

Ohlins shocks, rear toe links and bigger sway bars.

There isn't much of a blanket statement to cover this as everyone has different goals and priorities on what they are looking for...power, sound, handling, braking, aero, cosmetics, etc. That said, I know these cars very well and would happy to review everything with you. I shot you a PM to discuss it in a bit more depth

Best regards,
John Gaydos
