Hey Schnee, glad you made it to "the board"!

Here's the suggested mod list, in sequential order of course:

1. Clear sidemarkers
2. Guards red door plug (bumperplugs link on right of screen)
3. V1 radar (ignition hardwire)
4. Exhaust - you'll get 3 or 4 different opinions here
5. K&N / BMC airfilter & airbox cover
6. Suspension - what you gain in performance, you lose in comfort

+1 on dgray's post, although my preferred order would be clear sidemarkers, 19" Carrera S wheels, Suspension, S tips, KN intake - If you still want to retain a relatively cushy ride pick up some H&R springs. If you are into aggressive driving get a set of coilovers like PSS9 or KWv3. Congrats on your purchase!

Oh- the SmartTOP is a MUST HAVE!! www.mods4cars.com > buy from "BlackKnight" (Rich) over at www.pcars.us. I just put mine in and love it, worth every penny! EZ install.
Pick up the clear sidemarkers from Sunset Porsche in Oregon, $24 for the pair of OEM Euro markers.

Have lurked here for a while and learned a bunch. Thanks for all the help. Enjoy the photos...

Congrats on the new ride... Absolutely stunning... I too have wanted one of these my whole life and still lurking to find the perfect deal... Can you share with us how much you paid and why you didn't go with the S model?
