Got it today Yahoooo!!!!!!
I picked up my new to me 09 Carrera c2 today. I am so far very pleased. It is time now for some modest mods, Wheels/Tires maybe an exhaust and a computer tune. Look forward to reading and learning on this forum
Pics will be up later tonight. The PDK Trans is very cool much better than the one on my Vette even after the tune. Im am pleased with the power but I can use more would like to bump up a little more hp.
All of you guys were right the car handles very well in turns and lays really flat way cool.

Congratulations. Personally, I would hold off doing mods until I had a chance to get used to the car. They seem to get more powerful with every mile. While you may initially think it needs a boost, especially if you're coming from a higher powered car, I think you'll find that it will become more satisfying over time. Plus, the chip tuning and exhaust mods make hardly any meaningful power difference. Better to spend the money on driving school to learn to fully exploit the car's capabilities. Enjoy the car.

Congrats .
Usually I like to decide to mod or not to mod when I first get the car . This way if it is modified then I get to have the upgrades for the entire duration of ownership.
On the other hand the cost of the parts you list above is not cheap if you really want to do it right . Usually the person buying the base coupe is trying to save a few bucks over an "S" and these upgrades can add up.
If you still want them and you've thought it out --
--then here's my list of suggestions ( because i saw you asked on another thread)
1) Complete FVD exhaust and software . I chose a more quiet decibel level but they also have a "sound" exhaust. Forum member Sayboy did a great write up and video of it https://www.6speedonline.com/forums/...installed.html
2) Hre P43 Brushed wheels OR Champion RS98 .. If you do an aerokit .. add the Hre C90 to the list.
Both are awesome .
3) Bilstein coil over suspension.
4) Not a fan of the aerokit selections but the best of them IMO is the OEM.

He will notice it when he goes to the dealer with an engine problem and Porsche denies warranty coverage because of the flash.
