993 anniversary mods
It's been nearly 1 years since I purchased my 95 polar silver 993 coupe. So far, the mods have been minimal as I wanted to see what the car was like before going to crazy. The car is fairly stock with the exception of refinished hollow spoke technology wheels that I sourced and Fister III's that came with the car. I have, however been collecting parts over the last year and the car is scheduled to go to my mechanic 2nd week of September. Below is a list of things that will be done, not including general maintenance items such as fluids, etc. I've really enjoyed researching the Rennlist forum as to how I wanted to put my car together and appreciate all of the valueable feedback I received. This a great community of knowledgeable enthusiasts and I look forward to many years to come. Pics will follow showing some of my parts and of course the finished product.
Interior:
- 996 3 spoke steering wheel covered in new black leather/silver stitching thanks to Mike S and the craftsman from Poland
- OEM aluminum/carbon fiber gear shift and hand brake
- carbon tray (part below hand brake)

Good list of mods. I might consider new ball joints and tie rods up front as a "while you're in there". The car will need an alignment (critical this be done by a shop that knows 993s!) whether you're doing what you've listed or whether you add ball joints and tie rods to the party. I'd also consider FD's Short Shift Kit (SSK) since you're doing the GR, it can be done easily at the same time.
