CTS168 is infamous around these parts
Great Pics,

Have some questions?

* Where did you purchase the Turbo Bumper & Carrera Wing.
(I assume they came in grey and had them painted by paint shop.)

* Was the OEM motorized tail removed completely.

* Did you go with the OEM Tires Sizes on the HTRZIII's for the OEM wheels.
Front (225/40 18)
Rear (285/30 18)

* How well will a clear bra work on preventing rock dings.
( I had a CarBra (www.speedlingerie.com) on my Boxster S and it fit extremely well.)

* What is the Smart Top & Remote Module.

The turbo bumper was purchased on ebay and painted to match. The side skirts and rear wing were purchased through the dealer. They need to be painted to match your car. They do not recommend installing the turbo bumper without a wing. For a factory fit you will need a underbody extension piece as well. You can get more details and pictures by searching previous threads.

Yes, the motorized tail was removed and saved.

* Did you go with the OEM Tires Sizes on the HTRZIII's for the OEM wheels.
Front (225/40 18)
Rear (285/30 18)
Yes, stock sizes.

* How well will a clear bra work on preventing rock dings.
( I had a CarBra (www.speedlingerie.com) on my Boxster S and it fit extremely well.)
The clear bra will stop chips where it is applied. It is a thin very tough film that is applied directly to the car. I have however gotten several chips in the center of my hood where there is no clear bra applied.

* What is the Smart Top & Remote Module.
This mod consists of two add on modules. The smart remote allows you to program the key fob to perform several functions like remotely opening and closing the top. The Smarttop module gives you one touch opening and closing of the top while moving and enables you to open and close the rear windows with the top down. You can also add other functionality. The Smarttop module is very easy to install the smart remote is a little more challenging due to location.

To get back to your original question. The best mod I have done to date is suspension. If you need to spread the mods out start with PSS10's or K&W's and sways, Then move on to the cosmetic upgrades, and sound system.

If you're going the coil over route (good option) don't forget to look at some of the geometry/links. Dan wrote up a good explanation of what we did on ours:
