Done that already. And the brightness of the NAV unit is way down too.
It is the eye work to constantly view near and far.
Not helping that I got "cheap" my last eye glasses and didn't want to pay out of pocket for the anti-glare and other coatings that my previous pair of glasses had. I have the old sunglasses and even though they are not the same prescription and as dark they are easier on my eyes than the new sunglasses. I lost the old pair of clear glasses.
Anyhow, I'm due to get my eyes checked again and I might get new glasses with all the anti-glare stuff, maybe even polarized lenses at least in the sunglasses.

6ft4 here. The original sport seats gave me back ache, even after relatively short drives, something I have not experienced in any other car. It even came to the point that I was planning to trade the car in.
I now have bought and mounted 997 adaptive sports seats and it is a night and day difference, much more support and no more back ache.
Certainly not plug and play but for me definitely worth the effort.

+996 
. What may be BEST for one, could be HELL for another. With theat said, the OEM seat/ergo works just fine for me. FWIW, I am 70 inches tall with a 30-inch inseam, in good health/shape (core and back are fine)
So to the OP, what are your "stats?"

7 years I drove my, now sold 84 Carrera, coupe, cross country, from Fl., had sport seats , found them very conf. 2 years ago did similar in a Boxster S 03 , also many 12 h days, no aches.
Now in a lumbar adj. C4 996, keep re adjusting the lumbar and seat angle , too many choices (: but still 10h are no problem ( I think I did find the right for me adj finally (:
Its just so much pleasure and an adrenaline rush to drive the 911's for me.

One of the best tips I've gotten on RL: Universal Inflatable Bladder....
I consider this my top 3 mod for me personally.
