Get an alignment.... put as much negative camber in the front, and take it out in the rears. This will turn boring into lively, more sports car like drive. You will also get way more mileage out of your rear tires.

You will be out of Porsche spec, but I believe the spec is there for safety.

What about just joining a local PCA DE club and learn how to be a better driver and learn your car? What about just a skid control clinic or...winter driving school if you dare to compete with AWD cars? Priceless.

And take the wheel lock bolt off. It only inconveniences the owner.
Bad guys, if they want your wheels will smash the window to get in your glove box or frunk.

Put grilles on the front air intakes ; get your steering wheel redone(made fatter) by Dallas Custom Steering Wheels if you don't have the sport wheel or wanter thicker; wheel spacers; short shifter

For nine years of owning my car i never noticed/paid attention to hose stickers on the visors -thanks guys

Oh and get the colored/painted wheel center wheel caps. Why people complain so much about the side markers yet no one ever says anything about the cheap looking black and grey center caps-i don't get it. Probably about $100-plus will compliment the red calipers. I have the original amber side markers on my black C2 and I am ok with them - I know I am in the minority -what am i missing?

Besides price is there any advantage in doing the gundo hack as opposed to say the Fab Speed muffler bypass pipes?

The reason I ask is that I just sold the car in avatar and am picking up a 997 this weekend.

1) Wheels
2) front and rear LED lights
3) front and side skirts
4) Gundo or Fister exhaust.
All are safe and easily remove if you want to convert back to it original.

Get these if you're on the **** side. Cleaner than black tape. Almost invisible actually. Blends in with the visor material. (no affiliation with the seller)
