Rate your Mods.

ok here's how I feel with regards to bang for the buck for my modfications.
1 = the best

1. Ebay 'plastic chrome' grill strips ($25) can't miss.
2. Porsche License plate Frame ($10) very classy
3. Porsche spoiler logo ($20, only visible when going fast!)
4. 550 edition Crhome BoxsterS badge ($50) = winner!
5. Sideskirts ($1000 painted and installed) = must have for 18's
6. Carrer 5 spoke Wheels ($1900 delivered) = Very Porsche
7. GT3 Seats (only visible from the outside so one step below the wheels)
8. Window tinting ($100 and a couple of compliments)
9. Clear tail lights and side markers ($180 & not one non-pcar person noticed)
10. Litronics ($1100 Brandywine group buy) save your money or get a pair of clear halogens. This mod will always be at the bottom due to the price.

Overall I'm happiest with the seats. At least 7 comments while they were driving!
The best mod I've ever done to a car. Completey changes the driving experince.
Not cheap hence its #7

But the sideskirting I think has been the most effective mod if you take away
price, definitely the biggest visual change. From every angle the car looks much more 'porsche" err If you know what I mean.
The Wheels are also a huge change in attitude for what I think is a low cost relative to the entire cost of the car.

Future mods.
GT3 front bumper and Supercup lip(if I can ever get it down to the bodyshop!)
Silver hood crest $100
sliver center console $350
red leather shifter and e-brake: too expensive to admit!

and yes other than tires NO PERFORMANCE MODS. I learned my lesson with my last car.
