Mod Help needed...

Any good inexpensive mods I may have missed? OK, I am talking sub $200 here -- the less expensive, the better. My wife no longer thinks it's funny when the UPS/Fed-Ex guy shows up at our door with something for the Porsche!

I really enjoyed Itzkirb's garage-door mod, etc. Easy, useful and inexpensive. Any thoughts??? Feel free to list your inexpensive (sub $200) mods....

Being a 99', I have already done:

1) Headlight/Taillight Updates
2) Installed aerokit side-skirts
3) Silver Porsche Airbag Crest
4) Garage Door Mod (thanks Itzkrib!)
5) Custom Stereo (rear seat removal and more)
6) V1 install (hardwire)
7) Bumper Plugs

Thanks!

Spoiler switch! Just as cheap as the garage door mod.

Silver hood Crest to match your Airbag one.

Aluminum Gauge Rings

Das Schild to protect your trunk

Do you have colored center caps? Even so, you could move up to Boothe no spin center caps (check out Kevin M's)
Your ride it black so it might not even really look much different, but if you're gonna go to Eric (bumperplugs.com) for silver rings, may as well have the bumperettes painted...
There is the non-smoker kit, replaces ashtray with a little cup/tray thing perfect for cell phones, change, etc...

Thanks Guys.

I think I am looking at doing the Short Shifter & New Pedals to start. Possibly the spoiler switch, but not sure since I never manually control it.

If you think of any more, let me know.....

Sindi.. yes it is... its the exact copy of RUF & Techart, for a lot less.. my buddy just got his, we haven't installed yet.. but its the same as my RUF. Also they are charging the same for the TT Short shifter where as RUF wants $450 for theres

That is the short shifter from B&M that is like the Ruf short shifter that is connected at the transmission. I think someone called B&M about it and it can not be combined with the other B&M short shifter. I do not know if that is true or not so you might want to check with B&M.

The two can be combined....

I currently am running the B&M short shift kit along with the Ruf SS linkage kit set at 40%....
