Just curious to know where people started out with their mod addictions? Do most of us start small, working up to the higher dollar mods, or do we just jump in the deep end and go all out? Do we start with cosmetic or performance mods?

My first mod: smoked side marker lights

I worked my way up to some interior cosmetics, new DV's and silicone F-hose, ECU flash, then hybrid turbos. Those $30 smoked side marker lights must have been some "gateway drug" for me!

 

I've managed to resist changing the side markers -- never felt the need. My first mods were 997 SSK, EvomSit Flash, DVs, and GT3 Wheels. Otherwise, the car is pretty close to stock and I'm enjoying it that way .

 

Start with the basics -

honestly get an aggressive alignment .. it cures the understeer issue.. do some research on the forums as to alignment setups and choose something appropriate for you.

whenever the dealer messes with my alignment i can tell instantly! and they were surprised that i even noticed.. but that just proves how much it effects the handling of the car

another great mod was upgrading the brake pads to something other than oem.. i like cool carbon pads from pelican parts, they are cheap and offer great bite for street use but show their limitations at the the track as i believe they overheat and begin to stress.. if you need something a little more hardcore i.e for track use go with pfc's or pagids

My first was the side markers, like most people here I bet. I haven't done much but in order: painted rear center console, 997SSK, UMW flash. Next is coilovers then exhaust. Hopefully that will be it.

 

My first mod was a sequential shifter, but the car was not stock when I got it. It already had a great GMG X-pipe exhaust on it, among other things, otherwise I would have done the exhaust first thing.

 

GBox detent for the transmission, then GT2 wheels. That's it for now.

Probably PSS10s in the near future.

 

Snow tires. My one and only mod. Makes it quite a beast through winter.

 

My car had a flash and a v flow when I bought it. I would have, more than likely, just left it like that but then I became good friends with Markski. It's been a blur ever since.

 

i bought a bunch of stuff before the car was delivered, clear sides, body color rear bumperettes, bumper plugs, keyhole plug, short shifter, silver hood crest, i didnt have much self control lol

clear side markers are prolly the best bang for the buck imo

 

euro pipe loud , flash, then it was down hill.... headers, ics, turbos,piping lwf, ssk, pss9s,air box, hoses and wheels ,side markers , tires front and rear spoilers (carbon fiber) carbon fiber mirror covers and the list goes on.. oops forgot, rear lenses, rear bumpers, carbon splitters, painted skirts, think thats it except for inside carbon stuff

 

I went straight for 550 hp package at the time... in 2001...

 

Paddle shift wheel in natural brown leather, then tint, clear side markers and Sharkwerks exhaust bypass.

 

ECU Flash, IRC select tints (not sure if that counts), V1 hardwire, 997SSK, shift linkages and diverter valves.
Now about to get the exhaust, spark plugs, air filter, and FPR.
next....either sat nav or kw v3 coilovers.

 

flash, exhaust, dv values, plenum, short shift kit, rims, new turbos, different exhaust, re-flash, new boost hoses, gt-2 ic's, new clutch, pulley.. just ordered a new car cover for it today. next week changing the ecu to protomotive and doing coilovers, then new tires and i'm done .. if i were you i would leave it alone..... LOL

 

A GIAC tune was first,,next a Cargrapics exhaust after I got use to the tune power>>>>then the rest I said I would never do came after those....lol....
