- BBI Catted Exhaust
- Champion IC’s
- Evoms Headers
- IPD plenum and Y pipe
- BMC Filter
- Cobb AP Stage 3 Tune
- TPC Suspension Tune
- 3 Bar Map Sensors
- 991GT3RS Steering Wheel and Leather Airbag
- Techquipment full pedal set
- Techquipment gas cap
- Matte Carbon inlets


I maybe missing a few items. I haven’t done the PDK tune yet because I’m waiting on more feedback from other owners. I haven’t had any maintenance issues and the car is amazing to drive. I have spent a lot on it and wouldn’t consider selling it (with everything on it as is) for under $130K. I would be hard pressed to find anything close to this car for under $200K.

I’m certain you will enjoy yours...
all I can say is...WOW! Very nice touches and I think the wheels look fantastic. I very much like your pedal set. I will have to check that out.

Lovely Turbo S! Almost exactly the same as the one I've just bought (and am picking up next Saturday!). Black, 14k miles, 2011 model. Only difference is mine's right hand drive, as I'm based in the UK! Clearly you have superb taste

Beautiful S, love the painted seat backs! Nice contrast to your GT3 RS. You definitely need a Valentine One with this car

Cheers
