Well there are a couple of good reasons to keep her stock:
1) All that space between the wheels and fenders makes for good clearance when you take her off road. Great for rock crawln' too!
2) The sucking noise of the stock exhaust will, for sure, make your car a bit of a sleeper.
3) You can hang with the 3.8 997 NA cars when at the track. They are really nice cars anyways!
GOOD LUCK!

BB, thanks. I try!
Sadly, I live near Dr Bill.
Adding to Zippy's nice three:
4) The Carrera GT twists save you the hassle of cultivating brake dust, since they look dirty all the time. Not that ceramic's would dust but most people don't know that anyway.
5) It's nice to be confused with the 997 C4S cab, but the true enthusiast knows that car is wider anyway.
6) Guys who like triple black cars really don't want to "go to far" as black wheels might really push the look over the edge.
7) Louder exhausts are really for ricers and not the discriminating P-car buyer.
8) and the main reason: mods are a waste of money and God knows these cars are a good investment !

What, this is a disease? You mean after buying my car in April and spending $25k in mods since then, I have a "problem"??
Think of as a cure rather than a disease. Better to spend the money on cars than on booze, drugs, gambling and hookers, right? Or is that just a justification and I need help? Maybe it won't work on you guys, but it sure works good on my wife!!
Oh, the guilt you buys have heaped upon me now. I feel so dirty. How will I handle myself when my CF console lid shows up today from Eric? Do I have a problem because I asked him to send it by FedEx air rather than Ground? Could this be because I needed a CF fix because I haven't donr e anything to my car for nearly a month?
Thanks guys. Now I have this hanging over my head all day.

That being said, I have never been a fan of the Turbo twist wheels and that would be my first and maybe only mod.

I agree 100%....then you would lower it of course...
then the Euromarkers....they are practically free anyway.
the pedals sorta bother me too...and not expensive.
upsolute...how can you not?
little tint to the windows...good bang for the buck
just these mods...no more!
oh...K40....it pays for itself...

well you can always start Modding my car
I will smile and look pretty as I pick out an exhaust, new rims, etc etc. And to think I just did my first mod, dropping the car down.. Love it!!!! Goodluck, A Turbo S just might be too hot to care about mods,...Vikki
