I'm not "compelled" to upgrade!

When one's hobby is Porsche then often one takes the car as far as he likes and can or can't afford.

Didn't "need" to put BBS's and Ruf springs and full Evo treatment either. Nor the carbon fibre paddle shifting steering wheel.

Most of my 11 previous Porsches had engine and brake upgrades plus BBS wheels and lowering also.

Just continuing the theme. Porsche is my hobby - two factory and three museum visits in August and September of this year for example.

I think it's called "Bragging Rights"

Get $100 bills painted onto the calipers, and some diamond studs.

In that case, you should have a conversation with Dell ....

I'm sorry, but I heard the word "accessorize" and automatically thought you start with the (driving) shoes ...

If you say "Mod", then there isn't any confusion

John, I recommend the upgrade to PCCBs if you are looking to spend the $$. Less unsprung (and rotating) mass than the steel brakes, and essentially no brake dust.
