Default Mods for 997s, Need advice

Hi, all.

I am now 9 months old Porsche owner by now and trying to make my car better, mostly convenience factor and look. Here is list that I am trying to do.

- LED taillight
- LED DRL front light
- Thicker and d-cut steering wheel
- Swap headunit to Pioneer 8100 NEX (Android auto is Must)
- Back up camera
- May be audio upgrade?

Could you guys give me your opinion on those, if you have done it? I am shopping around mostly Ebay. Is there anywhere that I should check out? Any recommendation will be appreciated. Budget is also important to me. I want to minimize spending here to save money for 60,000 maintenance that’s coming in 4 months.

Thanks in advance!

Maybe a collision avoidance system ?

The 911 head unit is ugly and terrible. I can't wait to change mine.

Just dont have time to do the research

- OEM short shift kit.
- Swap interior bulbs for LED.
- Frunk lid liner.
- If you don't already have PSE or aftermarket exhaust--Fister D mufflers. I got mine put on today and they are just great. No drone, sounds bone stock at idle, but hit the go pedal and it sings! Really enhances the experience.

If you're using Android Auto, do you need the nav on the 8100NEX? I think the 4100/4200NEX is the same without nav.
