What Should Be My First Mods..... ?
Stock - Black/Tan 996 TT (non X50) with existing Warranty.... (see sig for pics)
This is my Daily Driver
What are some mods that you have found drastically improve the car over stock and should have been there from the factory. Mods where you can't go wrong and everyone agrees is must on the TT; either styling, engine, exhaust, interior, suspension, brakes etc
Keep in mind I have an existing warranty and don't want to viod it just yet
Also, please keep in mind that this is my daily driver and need it to be practical for the street and every day use
Ok, let the suggestions begin..........

I've done absolutely everything upto the GT700 kit (640+), and it's not my daily driver - it's my ONLY driver 
As far as modability/practicality these cars cannot be beat. My advise is go for it all at once...you'll end up replacing less and get a better deal, thereby saving money in the long run. The GT700 is where it starts to get significantly more expensive because internals must be changed.

Oh, and as far as warranty goes, I think if you do anything other than exhaust/airfilter that may come into question? But hey, that's why I bought a used car for just over half it's original msrp. I'm sure any of the tuners featured on this site will stand by their work. Speed Gallery certainly does.

first of all I do not believe ANY ECU/Exhuast give you 100 HP
(but that is another debate).
top mods.
1) Short shift kit (B&M or Porsche) cheap
2) Suspension (I like my Cross JIC for cost/benefit ratio)
3) Europipe Stage 2 quiet
4) ECU (do with exhuast and throw in the silly DV valves)
5) GT3 seats
Now you still have a nice/refined (no drone, not too loud) sports car
that will take on just about anything in ALL AROUND performance.
Good Luck!
