Performance- haven't done much other than some Falken Azenis which are quite sticky.

Comfort AND Aesthetics- By a HUGE margin I have to say the GT3 console. I'm not a massive human being (6'1'' 195lbs) and I was getting significant ball crunching and leg rubbing with the stock console in place. I don't know how some of you more stout gentlemen make do with the stock console. This is probably my favorite mod and has made the car so much more comfortable on long drives. I also think it improves the look of the interior.

Convenience- putting my flame suit on here, but I was forced out necessity to convert to a manual top, but I have now found the top more convenient as a manually operated top than I ever did as a power operated top. The power top on these cars is in my opinion painfully slow. My new process is to put the windows down using the key in the door before I get in the car, and once that's done the top is down in about two seconds before I get in the car to start it.

Flame, hell. You're to be commended. I haven't had an issue with the Boxster top yet, but if I get into any major PITA issues I'll be following your footsteps. I did the same thing on my prior 993 cab. It is a popular mod with those owners because the tops are very prone to expensive issues.
