Just picked up 2006 911 cab!

It's picked up this car and I love it! Car has 48,000 miles and has excellent service history. Anything I should be looking out for with this car? I am putting in a new pioneer nav unit with Sirius, Bluetooth, back up camera. I also replaced side marker lights with clear
Thanks

I have the same year cab. only silver..
those wheels u have are MFs to keep clean, I went with 09 turbos OEM, much easier to clean..
nice looking car!
only problem ive had with my car is shifter cables broke, stuck in 5th gear,,had it towed so I didn't ruin clutch$$$

I do have a question. I have noticed on a few occasions I get a grinding noise from shifting from 4th to 5th gear. It is not all the time but I am concerned it could be the synchro's. Any ideas on this? Thanks

One of the first things that you should check on a 911 that is having problems shifting is the level of the transmission oil. Check your service records and see when the last time it was serviced. You can read more about it here at this tech article.
