NM Automotive CarPlay/Android Auto unit is a close second. Android Auto is dope.

I've also really enjoyed some of the small cosmetic changes I've made:
  • LED clear side markers
  • Grills for the front radiators
  • Custom Porsche emblem + new film for the front end
  • Removing the chrome badges and cleaning up the rear bumper (rear bumper was re-sprayed by a previous owner, and they didn't do a great job on it). New "PORSCHE" emblem in matte black
  • Taillights tinted
  • Ceramic powder coating the PSE exhaust tips matte black
  • Replaced centre console armrest with the 991.2 top-stitched version
  • Function First shift ****
  • Smokers package (I didn't replace the wiring harness, just wanted to clean up the centre console appearance)
  • Wheel spacers
  • Replaced incandescent bulbs with LED (frunk, glove box, doors)
The worst change I've made so far that I almost entirely regret is the Bridgestone RE980 all-season tires. I have no idea why everyone is so happy with these. They're literal garbage, lol. I'll be replacing them with MP4S later this year. I'm just undecided on whether or not I want to go with some Titan forged wheels to mount summer tires on, and then keep the all-seasons mounted on my OEM wheels so that I can still have the option of driving the car in freezing weather.
I hear you on the RE980! I put them on in Jan and hated them. Just switched them to the new Conti Extreme Contact DSW + and it is night and day so i can run one set of tires for summer and cold days in late fall and early spring. The conti feel like OEM.

So far......

#1 Bilstein coilovers—handling way improved, looks amazing sitting flush with the wheels with spacers.

#2 Vektor sport cats—sound improvement and power increase.

#3 Vektor headers—sound improvement and turbo spool improvement plus sound enhanced.

I don’t have any pictures of it yet. Just a pic that shows the ground clearance with it also being lowered on coilovers. It isn’t that hard but you have to have the right tools as the tools will decide how easy or hard it will be.

There’s very good write ups detailing the install so just do a quick forum search.

PSE or non PSE? Any other mods like headers, sport cats or catless.

just curious since I’m looking into an exhaust and wanted feedback on drone. Loudness is welcomed.

What about the wheel and tire that you are replacing do they fit in the frunk?

My favorite mod is the tinted blinkers, followed by the vinyl nomenclature on the rear and then the .2 steering wheel.
