Hello. I've had my 911 for a month now & have a nice list of mods coming in. I'll update as I get them in! But below is some of the first. Remember when you were a kid & they had those book events in the library where you could buy books & other accessories? I remember buying a Porsche 911 poster in Elementary school. I think it was like $5 back in 1994 and it was the first poster I ever bought! I had that on my wall all the way until I was 18. Now I'm happy to own one of my dream cars!
I bought my car as a 2018 CPO, 1-owner, woman owned, with the 50k maintenance completed. Here are a couple shots of the car before I purchased it!
First mod was the Sport Lip! Definitely worth it!
Second mod was a Cobb Accessport. I've been on the 91 map the last month but switched to 93 yesterday. The 93 map is impressive... the car spins all of second now, which I'm very impressed with!
Got the windows tinted 20% all around. Definitely worth it with this summer heat coming up!
So I have big arms. I've been into body building for 13 years and I realized the stock console sat wayyy too low for my comfort. So I picked up this memory foam arm rest from Amazon. This thing is VERY nice and makes driving with one-hand exceptional & most importantly, comfortable. Not a big fan of 3rd party accessories in general but this was perfect for me.
Bought a window mount for the Cobb Accessport & made a magnetic adapter for it. This window mount can also support mag-safe iPhones which is nice.
Grabbed the OEM frunk liner from SunCoast. I love the frunk without it, but I daily drive my 911 and don't want things leaking onto the carpet when I'm traveling home from the grocery store! (I once had liquid egg whites go everyone in my RX350!)
I used the Rennline phone mounts & custom fit mag-safe chargers for iPhones
Changed my key fob out to Miami Blue since I wish my car was that color! lol
Picked up the Rennline Carbon Fiber Console Panels. Unfortunately there was some fitment issues...
I had some really bad gaps towards the armrest area. I complained to Rennline & they are sending me a brand new set which gets delivered tomorrow. Their customer service is really great so far. They said they've "sold 100 units of these & haven't had a fitment issue yet". Somehow, I received a bad batch. Once the new one's get in tomorrow, I'll create a proper review of this in a brand new thread. Anyway, they look AMAZING so I really hope the new set that comes in tomorrow fits correctly because I really want them!! (I also ordered their carbon trip to replace the silver apparatus going around the control buttons in the center console but it's back ordered for several weeks.)
Grabbed the Rennline paddle shifter carbon fiber extenders. I mainly wanted these so I could hold the steering wheel at 10am/4pm or 8am/2pm positions and not have to move my hand to upshift or downshift. I use the paddle shifters a lot while daily driving! Excellent product & I do recommend.
Bought the PCM screen protector. The gloss screen protector adds a much more premium feel to the head unit. I definitely recommend for only $12!
Grabbed these jack pucks from a member here on Rennlist. Quality looks excellent.
Grabbed the G2 Caliper Paint in customer Miami Blue (paint code from the 911). I need to buy a couple new low profile jacks & jack stands before I start this process. I'm a huge Miami Blue fan!
BMC Filter which I probably won't install for a little while lol...
And that's it for now! I have several more items on the way, such as Miami Blue vinyl wrap (for interior pieces), a new lip spoiler for the rear, new door sills, both inner & outer. Hope you enjoyed the post!
part of my intentions when I got this car was clean up some of the easy visual stuff, like new mud flaps replacing the chewed up ones, stone guards etc….however I could not help but laugh today at the amount of rock and road debris I picked out from underneath the flaps. Free weight reduction. Someone either had a nice run off at some point, but I’m guessing 60k miles of **** just snuck behind the fender liner slowly and the mud flap acts as the perfect tray.

I did the same when I bought my car. It’s amazing how much Shinola gets trapped under those plastic guards. If you live in a wet climate, that stuff will hold water, and eventually rust the metal in that area.
I have still been getting codes and CEL with the O2 catted spacers I had, tried different configurations but no luck, so got these J style spacers and used the medium sized insert, just got back after a 30 mi drive, no codes or CEL yet.
Ready to mount. Top, previous 45* catted spacers Bottom, J style spacers with medium sized insert.
Passenger side. Driver side, tight but able to fit it.
I had some leftover flaps from my rs3 that I never installed, so I bolted them up using the preexisting torx bolt in the fender liner in the rear. Not sure how I feel about them yet. A bored in the garage activity, but they seem decently subtle and secure overall. May try some heat to soften the small gap.
These just came in! Going in next week along with a full service on my Carrera T. Can't wait to hear the difference!!! Thanks @Soul Performance !!!
post a video after the install if you can. I have the high flow cats and am considering adding the headers but a little concerned that it might be too much on a daily.
I look forward to hearing your video clips
I have the SOUL long tube street headers and the valved performance exhaust system waiting to go into my 991 CS.. Very excited !!!
Not nearly as glamorous, but a new mirror mount for the Escort from BlendMount. On the high side for mounts, but this is a precision mount. Much better then expected.
Getting ready for the big trip, a Bridget 18v air compressor, new fix-a-flat & plug kit. Some of the roads have no cell for some distance.
I bought a clay bar and clayed every inch of the car since the paint was rougher than a night in jail. It still needs a correction, but at least for now it's nice and smooth and has a quick sealant on it.

Nice looking for a car that's only been driven to the grocery store and church on Sundays by a little old lady lol. I like the carbon fiber side console panels.
I did the same when I bought my car. It’s amazing how much Shinola gets trapped under those plastic guards. If you live in a wet climate, that stuff will hold water, and eventually rust the metal in that area.
Thats funny man lol. I cleaned mine out and it looked the same with 25k miles 😆

I agree. Encountered some sticker shock myself. Once it arrived it was apparent a lot of thought went into the design. Totally worth it IMO as I looked into alternatives. I purchased the wire tap as well.
