Default What Are Your Best Mods?

I am sort of new at modding porsche, but have a long history with another car. So far, I have added the clear bra and changed the side marker lights to clear on my 997S.

So, what are some of the best things you have done to your car?

If you don't have PSE, then get it. With the cable disconnected it is awesome and it doesn't affect your warranty.

I think the best mod on these cars that would guarantee results would be
the Moton Club Sport suspension package. Very costly but you get results.
You could raise or lower your car, very practical!

As with exhaust and other mods like that, you have to tune the car and based on some posts here, sounds like the hp gain at the wheels is varied and somewhat of a mystery and a lot of marketing hype for the $$ you spend.
