Default GT3 aftermarket parts?

I'm new to Porsche and was wondering what "preferred" companies made parts ie: Aero, performance, wheels?
I know the car I s new so there will be some development time, but I wanted to start scoping out 997 mods for 991 ideas. Thanks.

The mods I'm starting with are:

-painting the wheels satin black
-replacing brake fluid with Castrol SRF

When a side exhaust-delete kit becomes available, I'll install that. And if the sport seats are unbearable, I'll try and find buckets. The suspension settings I'm going to leave alone for one season until I have some experience and good information is published on line about how to setup the car for more even tire wear and neutral handling (yes, I expect this car to understeer despite the reviews).

LWFW and guard LDS are my favorite on the 996 and 997 GT3.... oh wait. never mind.

If tracking: safety first, bar, seats, Neck.
BBS wheels with track rubber

If this is your first Porsche, spend the $$ on coaching and practice and mod it the following year.

Thanks. Good points. I'm not new to tracking but I am in a Porsche Which I imagine will drive totally different... Safety stuff is up in the list along with track wheels. Anybody make a drop in cage or do I need to have my fabricators make one?

Factory cage with front section... If it's not an option you can order where you live, you would need to have the mounting plates welded into ur car...

My first modification. Remove "porsche" lettering from rear bumper with fishing line and hair drier! FREE UPGRADE!

Second will be replacing those horrible red rear bumper reflectors with white aftermarket ones.

Third will be having the rear seat backs covered in white (exterior colour) vinyl...
