Funny, I have not taken delivery of my car yet, but I am putting my list together of Mods. Should be here next week and I can not wait.

No tints??? They are a MUST with the blackout.
I got the cap at Suncoast - they had a sale, maybe $117. I'll take a pic soon, maybe next week, along with more pics of the other listed mods.

Cool on your list of mods / congrats on the car!. I ordered in some things (wheels, damptronics, Suncoast little stuff) before I took delivery on my car! Maybe not totally advisable as I made a couple of mistakes (not sure I want to swap my pedals, and bought $18 aluminum look tire valve caps and then decided all black looks better)

Tints - we'll see. This is ATL and tinted windows would help with keeping the heat out. The guy who did the sound recommended tinted rear lights and I'm considering that, but liking the stock look. Someone mentioned the red stripes, goes with the red calipers, plus I have red seat belts (factory exclusive option), so the red lights go with the black/red theme. Also, I may put my logo (Carrera S) in Red, or maybe just the "S", or maybe that's too much. Thanks for the suggestions - like I said, we'll see on this tint. hmmm

Comments???
you can do those 2 listed above right now, do not have to wait for CPO to expire.
do not do CAI (ever) and do not change headers (yet).

for suspension - if you did do dogbones and toe kits with all monoballs etc - put in also monoball adjustable thrust arms (into front at least to be able to correct caster but better all around) and put in GT3 upper mounts and 996 gt3 LCAs to complete the transformation. otherwise dogbones will not do much good if you still have rubber in stock LCAs and upper mounts.

Only negative thing I can think of - I am not a fan of gundo hack, i think you lost some power now as you messed up mufflers airflow path completely.
i would throw those cans out now and replaced them with fabspeed maxflo mufflers.
