Look forward to driving it and getting to know it. After you are sure everything shakes out and you don't need some coin to tighten anything up I am sure you will find plenty of things to throw some fun money at.

I can't offer any suggestions on mods though, I focus on keeping mine 100% OEM stock as they left the factory.

These next ten days might seem like the longest days of your life, yet the anticipation is part of the fun.

because then you will be in the same boat with a 997.2 (no point in getting a .1) and then be asking what mods do i do. They ALL need modding

Join the PCA and sign up for their drivers skills/drivers education courses. They will help you experience the range of what your car can do in a safe environment. Autocrossing can also help build skills that apply to the street and accident avoidance....to say nothing of meeting good people and having a blast while doing things you'd get a ticket for anywhere else.

I have already read the things you should know about your 996 (very helpful by the way). I can tell my car already has a short throw shifter and aftermarket SS exhaust but wanted to know if there are any JDIs or just do it items that make owning a 996 more enjoyable?

19” wheels

Get rid of the 19" wheels. All bling, no performance. I believe a better handling car is more enjoyable and the car will handle better with 18's.
