Ohhhhhh great question!!!!

I have a 996, but I think this is still relevant.

1. Exhaust: GMG X-pipe. Exhaust should always be the first real mod IMO. Much lighter, more cowbell, and the sound... it just makes every moment a joy. I NEVER turn my radio on.
2. Moton/MCS clubsport suspension: The handling difference is phenomenal, and must be driven to be believed. I was dumbfounded that it could be that much better than OEM GT2. Also, the remote reservoirs look VERY cool mounted to your roll-bar uprights.
3. Sequential Shifter: It's just so serious, so substantial, and changes the driving experience into something more intense and serious. It's one of those mods that helps make your GT2 look that much more like it's gonna beat you up and take your lunch money. It doesn't add 70 lbs to your car like PDK, but you do need to use the clutch.

i had a cab and I loved putting in the smart top. one touch operation of the top is a must have convenience. wheels for the 997 turbo are another must in my book

I would start off with these simple mods:

1. Change the front amber turn signals to clear.
2. Hardwire your V1, Escort or whatever you are using as a radar detector
3. Smart top
4. Exhaust to improve the driving experience!

1. GT2 Slave conversion (You can modulate the clutch pedal)
2. Suspension (stock is very harsh)
3. Protomotive Tune (He will continue to work with you through all the stages of development)
