All the above stuff is great.

Also:

1) Remove the stickers in the front windshield
2) Convert the wiper's resting spot to the passanger side
3) Headlight washer delete

Ditch the wing and the wheels.

Lower, align, corner balance.
A more "attractive" (eye of the beholder) set of wheels.
OEM Turbo S front bumper
OEM Aero side skirts

lose the rear wing unless you will be putting in a TPC or Protomotive kit If it's a factory piece and not aftermarket it could be sold for a nice amount...I'd replace with standard trunk with a C2S grill.

I'm generally a big fan of 5-spoke type wheels but frankly those Anterras don't really work for me; I'd add Euro turbo front bumper w/ or w/o the Turbo-S lip, Techart side skirts and either PSS-10 or KW v3 suspension along with RS sway bars. You'd be pretty much done on the looks and suspension parts

I agree.

When I bought my C4S, I was worried that the wide hips would look odd without a wing above them. After two wingless years, I'm pretty sure those wide hips look great.

I also don't mind the American SUV Ride Height. Where I live, and how I drive my 993, I would say that Porsche knew what it was doing. It works very well in everyday life, looks half-decent, and performs on track. While I love the look of some properly lowered cars, I couldn't run one daily. And compromising ride height with corner weight makes track use more complicated.

Finally, we're getting a little cliched. PSS9, or 10s, are now standard. Getting rid of bumperettes is something everyone when cosmetic work is needed. A Fister exhaust is pretty common. So are MY02 wheels.

And I'm guilty of a CPZ 3-spoke wheel and some other cliche sins. But our 993's shouldn't all look alike; we should make them into the cars we want. Not the cars that other people on Rennlist recommend.
