All look much better with Seal Grey, in my opinion.

Even though these are cosmetic tweaks I'd say these add at least +20-25HP, no doubt about it.

Absolutely - those side markers alone are easily good for 10 to 15 hp

Since yours is a 997.1 I will post only about that model . My 997.2 is modified differently .

On the 997.1 I loved the F77 Tubi setup . The carbon fiber airbox is like a work of art and the Tubi sound sounds great with it . I had the software too .

It sounded just like theirs -- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XMWLpdVrhWU

+1 on the PSE (or Gundo) exhaust hack. A 2" pipe welded onto the third chamber to replicate PSE.. unbelievable difference in exhaust note, even if there was no power increase.

I like all of my mods allot. But the smartkey or top has to be one of the best. Beeps when I lock it and no unwanted trunk openings.

for convenience - mobridge. there is no other way to accept calls with blackberry in a car with manual transmission. it is a safety issue. ipod streaming music is also nice.

For power - plenum, oiled air filter, full exhaust and ecu flash is a package, really. I like how it helped my car, if I would have C2S with sport chrono - I would not bother with this, probably. For my C2 this mod package transformed it completely.

mods4cars is nice little gizmo, convinient to have, but hardly critical. same as valentine one radar.
