Same here: I got my first Porsche three months ago. 911s convertible 2007. I did the following small fixes: install a Dension to add bluetooth and audio in. Replace tires with Michelin pilot super sport (made a lot of difference in handling and road noise vs yokohama tires). Replaced starter, as it was getting harder to start car when warm.

And I'll follow your thread for mods. Possibly replace the front with a different look, or taillights with LED.

I've only had the car for 6 months. It's easy to pour a lot of mods on those cars...

Congrats. Myself and other will tell you what mods to go after if you post pictures of what you have. For all we know now it's a rusty 914

Congrats on catching the bug. I understand your experience. I bought my first a year and a half ago, and now have 2. They are amazing machines. Enjoy.

Congrats and would love to see some pics. Might be parting my car out soon to get a Turbo S. Surely this might be the most epic 997 part out we've seen.
