First of all, I want to thank you all for the compliments. This is the reason why I've join because everyone seems so friendly here.
Misha - I'm a big fan of your body kits and wings. Love the rims in your avatar picture.
Boxzing - I heard the speed yellow option adds 15 hp's!!!
RPM - Tim... of course I've heard of you guys! I was reading up on your porsche work 4 years ago when I first bought my p car. I will definitely stop by one day.
996c4s dallas, joesmoe, BoxsterGirlie01 - I wish I could've afforded more expensive wheels. I think these were the best bang for the buck. I got them from wheeldynamics. 235/35-19x8.5 et45mm front with the 2 inch lip and 285/30-19x10.5 et52mm rear with the 4 inch lip. I've wrapped them in Nitto Invo tires.
Redridge, Exlondoner - I don't have much in terms of performance mods. K&N CAI, 3-2-1 sport headers, Agency Power exhaust cans (Thanks Vivid Racing). Now for the little things... white LED city lights, 6k H7 high beam bulbs, 2k H7 fog light bulbs, Porsche litronic HID low beams, clear turn signal lens with silver bulbs, clear LED 3rd brake light, aluminum gauge rings, aluminum pedal set, aluminum skid plate, painted key hole plug, painted roof spoiler, painted rear bumperettes, full aero kit, dual exhaust tips, lightly tinted all around.
Attached are some pics my brother in law took of the car, before most of the mods.
I'm okay with Photoshop so if any one need help to envision their car with new mods... let me know. If I have the time, I'll be glad to mock something up for you.
Again, thanks for all the love and I hope I can contribute to this great forum.

BoxsterGirlie01 - Yeah... Carlos from wheeldynamics is very friendly and knowledgable. I'm very happy with my purchase. 
ebcarrera - You're very welcome, let me know when I can have another chance to spend your money!!

i have and will always love the aerokitted mk1 and you got the full kit so that's awesome. the rear strake pieces are a must! and i love the roof spoiler.
but yes, your wheels kinda spoil the party. i'd rather run the stock factory wheels over the wheel dynamics ones. the reason why the lip is so big is because they gimmick it with the extreme curvature of the centers (kinda cheap looking).

Wow, thanks Ben... coming from you that means a lot. I've read your posts and I know you're a tough cookie when it comes to the aesthetics.
As for the rims, the original owner put some major road rash on them. So I wanted to change them and not spend a ton of cash at the same time, hence the wheeldynamics wheels. As for the future, I rather save up for a 997 than to invest into HRE's for the 996.
Thanks again and I appreciate your honest opinion.
