I'd consider a set of functional diffusers, regardless of what they're made out of, and an underbody panel to protect the engine while providing some airlfow for cooling, to be performance parts in keeping with the title of the thread.

me too; that's why i listed underbody panels in my first 'ask' also. i just think that 99.9% of folks who get a diffuser do it for looks, not performance.

Fyi, Renegade Hybrids have developed an electric power steering kit for the 996. $1200 though ...

Like I was saying, I'm definitely more for function over form. The Aerokit supposedly actually helps the car aerodynamically rather than being strictly an aesthetic package, and if that is indeed the case, great (though I'm not a huge fan of the look), but I can't just go and throw agressive looking parts at the car just to make it look different...I'd rather spend the money on gas. :dance:
