Welcome! I have the same specs.. 99 Ocean Blue with Graphite Grey interior and aerokit.
Out the modifications I've done so far I'd recommended the 997 shifter, suspension refresh (I did H&R sports with Bilsteins) and exhaust.
The exhaust noise is what really makes these cars enjoyable to drive and brings out the unique flat six character.
Aside from that I'd do the usual maintenance like fluids and filters (don't forget about the fuel filter and P/S fluid) and low temp thermostat with composite wheel water pump (if it hasn't been done recently, or unknown).

Luckily the car I bought came with all the aero but was added after the fact.… love the idea of the GT3 Lite.

I've seen plenty on the horror of unique, broken, or stuck fittings. And I've seen on other cars how to disconnect the low pressure line, and turn the wheel to flush the old fluid out, while pouring new in the reservoir. But I haven't seen any guide on the process for the 996. I think the low pressure fitting is behind the AC compressor?
Sorry if this is a thread-jack.

didn't mention your car is a turbo! I tend to dislike the carbon package, but with the gray interior it looks so so good. great color combo, looks so sharp on a turbo

I think the carbon pkg does a fantastic job at breaking up the sea of gray. It's got enough contrast and goes very well with the gray. I think the same effect could be got with using just regular black pieces for a much smaller price.

Looks familiar, congrats! I have a Pfister and it's awesome. I upgraded the interior with a bunch of OEM carbon fiber, black leather center console, black leather pieces at the windshield and a bunch more inside. Transformed the interior.
Before:
After:
FYI, mine is a 99 with double row bearing, I'm not going to do anything to it but oil analysis and monitor. If it let's go, I'll just get a short block from Porsche and rebuild it. I don't want to spend 20% of that total cost just to change out the bearing.

Is there a thread on here regarding flushing and replacing the P/S fluid?
I've seen plenty on the horror of unique, broken, or stuck fittings. And I've seen on other cars how to disconnect the low pressure line, and turn the wheel to flush the old fluid out, while pouring new in the reservoir. But I haven't seen any guide on the process for the 996. I think the low pressure fitting is behind the AC compressor?

Congratulations on your purchase.
That color is stunning on an Aero.
Just my $.02, go slow with performance mods.
Getting the suspension, brakes and cooling systems all updated, along with IMSB is a lot of money.
Go slow, enjoy the ride.
There is an incredible amount of knowledge and experience on this forum, so use it.
