Favorite Mod Ever.. difficult choice. I'd say

Favorite: Thicker and much heavier steering wheel in the 320mm D.

#2 Headlights, for sure.
#3 all of the others

997 Sport Plus Seats!

Agreed on the whole "category" thing. I'd have to say from a comfort category I love my seats - without comfort and control, I just can't enjoy the drive and the stock Boxster seats didn't fit my frame correctly.

For performance, I'd have to bump +1 on the Koni+H&R Spring suspension. Although the original drop was a bit too much at first, once I installed ~1/4" of spacers above the H&R Springs, I found the ride was a perfect balance of firmness, control, and dampening without being harsh.

A few pictures added.

Tell me about these spacers. I find my H&R's are a bit too low.
