Mod List: Let the fun begin!

So I'm about to succumb to the disease of modifications!

Here's a list of what I Already have on my 06 S

Awe Cats and Mufflers

I love them!

Here's what I'm planning:

996 GT3 sport seats in cloth (Gotta lose the stock seats, no lateral support)

Bilstein struts for PASM (More fun when the road gets interesting)

H and R sways (Don't want to lean like a Cholo!)

Das Sport roll bar (Protection and increased rigidity)

GT3 Front and rear

Now here's the big one! Wheels (Gotta look good!)
I'm thinking HRE P43's. It's a great looking wheel and exactly what I'm looking for but the color is something that I'm not sure of. So I want all of you guys to help me decide! I was thinking that the regular finish is too common. I don't want shiny. So with that in mind, what do you all think of motorsports gold? Like BBS does or like you might see on my STI! The other choice might be flat black, but I'm not so sure.

Any other suggestions or things that I'm missing? Maybe some Dymags?

Thanks,
JT

What color is your car ? Choosing a wheel finish to match exterior color can vary.

The car is black. Another option I was thinking is charcoal grey. I say a pic of a black 997 tt with these colors and it looked really nice.

Thanks for the comments guys!

So here is my finalized list and all of the orders go in tomorrow!

GT3 front bumper
Techart side skirts
Techart type I spoiler

Bilstein Damptronics
H and R Sway Bars

GMG roll bar
Cloth GT3 seats

HRE P43 19's (in satin charcoal)

I'm still debating the side skirts. Should I just go for it?

What do y'all think? Missing anything?

Hey man,

I swapped to Motons. I have the PSS for PASM that I'd sell for cheap. PM me if interested. If they aren't all that and a bag of chips, I'll give you your money back (excl shipping). They're good though. Just not enough for me at the track is all. Mine are off and ready to ship.

Also, the GMG bar does have more of a 'foreward' rear mounting point than the DAS bar too, so you can still leave in the seat backs if you want to. It's a great bar.

Jared

Here are my HRE monoblocks in Satin Charcoal.
It is the most spectacular finish I could have expected. Slightly flecked, and textured, makes you wonder what allow the wheels are made of...
I am absolutely in love with them.
Doing the center cap project now, although I like the HRE I prefer the crest.
So I bought a set of monochrome wheel centers and I am painting the surround to match the color of the wheel. Will be posting pictures soon.

I would scoop them up if I didn't have them. The damptronics are great, I going to do about 8 - 10 Track Days this year and love the improvement that they have brought.

Is your car AWD or 2WD?

Glad you like the exhaust!
