If I remember correctly . . .
First addition was winter wheels and tires.
Clear side markers (RL approved!)
Hardwired V1
Rennline black aluminum pedals.
PSS10s
Summer wheels and tires.
Fabspeed mufflers.
On a related note, fixed up the garage to make it Porsche-worthy!
One of the bigger changes along the way was just getting a random orbital polisher, good polish and some good wax.
Photos if interested . . . LINK

1. Clear side markers
2. "almost" hardwired v1... in progress
3. iPod adapter from CDR220 aux out
4. Bumper plugs
5. To be determined....

I made a little diagram for you. This improves shifting characteristics in the car. It removes that pesky feature where it drops the revs when you push in the clutch.

Well when I get it...(hopefully in November)
New mats
And then I will prioritize based on what I see. Mostly cosmetic stuff to start I think.
Maybe something for my wheel fetish

i recall when i took delivery of the 996 back in 4/2000 i drove across the street to the gas station next to the dealer and had them put on my 19" speedline rg5 3 pieces. This was right after the salesman gave me the keys, and he was shocked to see it already in the shop. I then went to the muffler shop and had the fabspeed headers and mufflers installed. The next weekend the H&R coilovers and sway bars. following month the TRG piggyback, and i stopped keeping track of the changes since then
