Picked up a new TOY...996 Turbo

I finally picked me up an 04 996 Turbo. It took a while to find a white cab this clean with only 18,600 miles. I picked it up in FL and drove it almost 900 miles home. WOW>>>I am impressed with this car. Now I want to do some work to it. Im looking at a new front bumber (GT style) and C/F wing. I would like to put new tires on it or powder coat these. Im not a fan of these. I plan to do some mods on it. The car has been lowered and not sure if I should keep it that way.
Give me some advice and opinions>>>>>
Thanks

Wow congrats that really nice. I have the same wheels (I think) on the 996 tt I picked up Sunday. I like them but obviously to each their own.

What was your 900 mile route? Did you encounter any bad weather?

Looks great! Are those cargraphic wheels? Any questions you may have on exterior mods, please don't hesitate to ask
