First mod I did made a world of difference to driving comfort, center console delete. I couldn't do it fast enough.
Almost all others were deemed by the stock parts failing, headers, suspension, and brakes... One year into this and looking forward to Ben's short shifter, clutch spring mod, lowering, and then a custom exhaust.
Years following, maybe some metalflake paint, and different rollbar

well to be a contrarian, the car is getting long in the tooth. Young people buy an old car and want it to be more like the latest version that costs 7x's as much. Especially with so many Boxsters rolling around with 16" and 17" wheels when that's something you just hardly ever see on the latest sports cars anymore. There are some elements of the 986 that really date the car in 2015.
And to be fair, putting the coffee can exhaust in the back doesn't seem to be the norm for Porsches as it is for Japanese cars.

But the knee jerk thing among young people in general must be playing all those video games like GT6/Forza or whatever. Buy car, put in stage 14 exhaust, "rims", coil overs, etc. They've been programmed that way!!
