The bumperettes are simply cosmetic. They don’t exist on ROW cars that have the elongated registration plates. The bumperettes just fill in the void for cars with North American license plates.
Maybe today's the day. 997.2 Adaptive Sport Seats offered by a Rennlist member in the Parts Marketplace.
Hula - thanks for the heads up, much appreciated. I actually did a quick search in the parts market place and saw those. First thing I thought to myself was "hmmmm, the driver seat thigh bolster looks pretty worn out for $4k". I'll continue to keep an eye out but thanks again.
If I could do anything, I would magically remove the 40,000 miles of wear and tear I've put on her in the four years since I've bought her. Just so, I could do it again!!

What would I change currently - just one thing. Need to add OLED gauge in the cabin to monitor mixture and supercharger boost - have had it on-hand for 2 years, just haven't found the time to do this project yet...otherwise, not a single thing.

As you can see, not much I haven't changed or upgraded. All but the RUF engine mods I did myself, if anyone has any questions.
Jeez. That's not making a few changes. That's rebuilding the car. Impressive.

This! In my case I'm very curious how 'my' car would feel with 1000 miles on it. I'd probably be surprised if it actually felt that mechanically different. I would like 4 way heated sport seats, so much I'm going to post a WTB.

If driven "normally", probably not a whole lot different. I bought my -09 C4S with just 2,000 miles on it. My current GTS has 56,000 miles and feels just as tight and solid as the 2,000 mile C4S. No rattles or other annoying aging signs.
it has pretty much everything I wanted - including color
but if I where able to have optioned my car I would have loved to have these options added
Factory Aerokit
Sunroof delete would have be awesome
the RS door pull straps
X51 Package
the Spoiler from Turbo
and call me crazy but I like the Centerlock Wheels
Well, I would probably black out the hood and roof, add a Cup front end including cutting the finders for the flares, Cup deck lid and aero bits, X-pipe, side muffler bypass, new suspension, wheels, tires, ... Oh wait, I already did all that lol Still need rear Euro bumper cover and ??? Its a sickness over here
I have a good spec 997.1 C2S car from what I wanted.
Gundo and turbo wheels was already done by previous owner
Clear bra on front
Spacers for rear wheels
It has the Bose and full cocoa leather.
I have only done smaller, reversible mods and will continue to do so. So far:
-TranzIt Blue Bluetooth
-Quick charger cable to CTEK
-CAI and Helmholtz resonator delete
-Door sill protection film
-Grille mesh protection for the radiators
-Change to 997.2 key fobs
-LED bulbs for fog lights
-Proclip Phone mount with magnetic holder
Only bigger thing I'm considering is Ohlin's coilovers or Eibach Springs.
I don’t mean to be sarcastic but the spoiler is not intended to add any downforce. Although it may add a bit (of downforce), it’s main function is to generate turbulent air flowing over the top of the car. With the bottom of a 911 being relatively smooth and the top rounded, the profile generally resembles and acts like a wing. The deployment of the spoiler disrupts the airflow, generates turbulence, and lessens the lifting effect. I suppose the Porsche engineers have figured out that at 78 mph (the speed at which the wing automatically deploys) there is a tendency for the car to lift.... SNIP

As to the OP’s question, when I ordered my car I wish I had had the model designation done in PTS (as I did for the headlight washers).
I get to use this graph about twice a year. here's some indy research on lift/downforce of the electronically deployable wing on the 997.2:
