Default UPGRADES?

OK
What would your next upgrade be?
I have done the following to the car so far:
Fikse FM 10 wheels
TPC super charger and top end rebuild
Fister stage 3 exhaust
Lowered stance with H&R sport spring kit, new shocks and struts
I must say that I noticed ZERO difference after the suspension work, did i take a wrong turn there?

What kind of suspension did you add?

Do you have or want hardback sport seats? Or a 996 3-spoke steering wheel? Many folks covet both.

Why don't I get the 996 wheel? Keep wondering...but no desire to consider this swap.

I love the look of an old school MOMO wheel
But what about the air bags?

The seats are great but man are they pricey

Most people consider the 996 3-spoke wheel to be far more aesthetically pleasing and sporty looking to the eye vs. the stock Buick, er, 993 steering wheel

Here is the 993 on the left, and the 996 on the right. It's all a matter of personal preference.

Wish I could take a detailing class somewhere and learn how to do a pro job getting the swirls out, that would be a nice upgrade

How about a front splitter?

how about a way to update the look of the shifter and boot
The leather on the boot looks so flimsy and the **** looks so ordinary
No carbon fiber though

Try Tore's LED's & HID's. I changed out my headlights & my 3rd brake light using his products. They make a difference & not too pricey.

I just got some GT3 Tek RS splitters. I haven't had a chance to get them painted & installed yet, but they look like they will fit fine & they are good quality.

In all honestly, why would you be upgrading a car if you did not feel the difference after replacing suspension? I am being serious.

What are you after? Cosmetic changes? Than, what's the point of supercharger and suspension? What I'd recommend is a set of good tires and some autocrosses to understand what the car can and can not do. The rest kind of sounds superfluous. Of course, 996 steering wheel is both easy and useful as an upgrade. But, again, secondary.
