I like all the mods I've done to the car so far. My favorites in no particular order are Rewrapped three spoke steering wheel with leather airbag, Ben006's short shifter, Nine8six headlight conversion and aftermarket top with glass window.

Like the new roof Tommy, I like how black it is (compared to my 20years old gray'ish roof loll). Your car literally looks brand new.
Nice work man (same to all here who've modded their ride)

Gt3 centre console delete opens up the cabin for comfort. Short shift. Lightning cable from iPhone to CD-R 220.

+1 Tommy, she's a beauty!! And Fred's car has been a fav of mine since I joined the site! I have been concentrating on the maintenance stuff mostly, IMS, water pump etc...but my favorite mod so far has been the Android tablet install, and stereo upgrade.

Thanks for all the positive comments on the car guys. It came with the Aero kit. All the rest has been a slow 4 year upgrade process. If you check out my garage you can see all the improvements listed in the info. I'd like to thank Particlewave, NINE8SIX, Chuck W, Ben006 and Woody for all the help over the last few years

Super easy to retrofit indeed. You can get $50 retrofit kits off eBay and diy. Good’ol untested Fire Hazard composites and materials with body, shrouds/bezels prone to cracks and early uv discoloration or worst; flaking! “The ultimate plastic kits” for Porsche car (Chinese/Japan style!!!).
Another option; there is a guy on this forum who works those especially for Porsche owners; full aluminum body/anodized however (class appearance only!). Looks sharp from up close if you know what I mean and should look that way minimum 10~15 years. No-no cheap plastics kits! He also engineered the riser/adapter for those particular 9x6 headlights so that the projectors sits where they should – prevents the kit from being hidden & tucked inside the headlight unit where the halogen used to be thus preventing overheating.
Cheap-Cheap: $6,999 (for the left side only, of course)
