I will be doing the rear LED upgrades for sure. Along with the front intake grille screens.
Im also playing with the idea of getting the RENNLINE Engine mounts.... http://www.rennline.com/newssection.asp?dept=853


I wont be doing a lowering kit because the clearance is an issue already and I like the wheels that are on it right now. And in my eyes right now dont see a need for a new shifter.


I like the Exhaust idea. But it is a daily driver and I do business calls in it so im not so set on permanently increasing the noise.


I strongly want to tune my 997 but the prices have been way to high for my taste.

With your motor, you will certainly want to put in an LN Engineering magenetic drain plug (at absolute minimum), as an early warning of the potential IMS issue with the 2005 997, which still shares the same IMS as the later 996 motors. GIven that you're spending some money on cool upgrades, it would be nice to keep your car/motor in good shape. If needed, consider the LN Engineering IMS upgrade option (talk to your shop about installation). FYI... I'm not trying to sell you LN Engineering... but I do believe they make very good stuff, especially for your car. Consider it.

Thanks starshek.
I do oil analysis every oil change because of that. about $20. I have also thought about getting a mag drain plug for that reason.
