Default Porsche newbie - already got the mod bug

Hi all,

I'm in Center City Philly and just moved over to the real german car having owned BMW's, Audi's and MB's in the past. I picked up my CPO 2013 C2 from POTML. Within a month, I installed the AWE exhaust then immediately took her to the detailer (Auto Obsessions in NJ) where Nick and his friend Joe (Kustom Dips) worked their magic on the paint and wheels.



Ceramic Pro, model delete, AWE exhaust with black diamond tips, Autoflex dip (wheels), wheel spacers

Looks great.

The best mod you can order is the AWE wind diffusers. I can speak normally with both windows open at 100mph + and my pax can do the same. Track only of course.

Been looking at that AWE diffuser and lucky that AWE is in my (old) backyard as used to live in Blue Bell which is a stone's throw from Horsham

That looks great! Are you going to add the sport steering wheel, with real paddles?

Cool

I particularly like the carbon fiber bits in the interior. One of the things I find annoying is the constant reflections of the Sun off the PDK shifter housing, console surround, and dash trim caused by the standard aluminum trim.

I have actually considered having a leather shift boot created for my PDK shifter to eliminate the reflection.

Big fan of the ceramic pro. Have it on mine, and the results are great.

Did you have the calipers painted red? Or did you upgrade the brakes to a bigger kit?

debating that vs trying to retrofit the new .2 sport steering wheel....i like the look of the newer one plus I can preserve the heated steering wheel function which I've become addicted to since experiencing it 7 years ago on my BMW X5. I missed it when I switched to an audi S5 which didn't have it so would rather preserve that over the paddles.

red caliper paint and decals from SCP. need to add to my mods list. upgrading to the bigger brakes voids the warranty which I don't want to do. Same reason why I went with AWE vs Fabspeed. Checked with my dealer who works with them all the time and said no worries upgrading to the AWE exhaust.
