Talking Help! New to Porsche community

Hi

Two weeks I purchased a 2003 Porsche 911 C2 with 62k miles and could not be happier with the buy.
It has the sport 18" wheels, Bose system (no nav), 6speed,
Gray with black interior.

I want to get some mods done to enhance it a bit.
On order is a pair of smoked side markers and center caps for the wheels since they need to be replaced.

Does anyone know what iPod/aux cable I can get to play songs off my phone.

I'm also looking into suggestions on intake, exhaust (leaning towards Darin's), headers, suspension (I see a lot just swap to H&R springs)

I defense tell want to add a screen for nav and back up camera
Suggestions? I hear the Kenwood has a nice one
I will also add a small amp/sub to the factory Bose stereo.

Thanks in advance for all your replies
I live in Conroe just north of Houston

Can definitely recomend FisterDs exhaust. Others will pipe in on intake options(mine is stock). Suspension choices are many...try doing a search on options.

+1 on the FisterD before any other mod. Trust me on this one...

Exactly! I was on the 101 in Scottsdale on Saturday and the tent for the Russo and Steele Auction is just 100 yards south of the Freeway. As I passed by I got on the throttle and I could see all the necks turn. I doubt they could see my car...but they heard it.

You'll have to get new amp(s) if switching to Kenwood or Pioneer w/nav.

Yeah I was planning on adding an amp/sub to the fac Bose stereo

Also would like to add a screen on the bottom apart from the stereo and use it strictly for nav and maybe a backup camera

I wasn't interested in slamming my Porsche since I use it in the winter, and wanted to stick with a Porsche OEM choice. I bought it from a Rennlister used for $325. If I was looking now though, I would opt for the ROWM030 instead of the USM030 for a slight drop in ride height. That said, I love the improvement over stock. Hope that helps.
