Lightbulb **Top Factory Upgrades**

Need some help ladies and gentlemen,

We here at Suncoast needed some feedback on some of the "Must have" factory upgrades for your cars (997 TT).

Would love to see what you guys are really happy about...

I think the things you could sell the most (factory parts):

1)scripted armrests (turbo, 911, Porsche, etc)
2)clear corners
3)deviated stitching shifter boots; so many cars with deviated stitching ordered always miss the shifter boot - an unacceptable oversight that I blame on Porsche's overly complex order process

Would be great to have a factory upgrade from one generation of PCM to another, say PCM 2 to PCM 3, etc...

Are you asking what people "must have" when ordering their car? Or what is the first "must have" factory option added after they've received their car, such as clear corners?

Yes, Yes, Yes!
Other upgrades would be thicker steering wheel (MF), Definitely interior components to match exterior color.

Update 997.1 rear lights to 997.2

...and some frikkin hood mounted lasers of course!

Bingo! "must have" options after you receive your car..

The stiching on the shift **** boots can only be obtained when ordering the car. We cannot order deviated stitching after the fact.

However if you need a replacement we can only order one with a vin who had it specced from the factory...

That would be a really cool upgrade! I wish we could have a kit for this

LOL

What we can do for you... is get almost any GT2 RS parts that you need, interior or exterior. Everybody knows you 'aint cool unless you have some GT2 RS carbon parts on your car.

(incredible car btw)
