997.1 Mods



Full interior and exterior LED and 6K HID; Rennline pedals and vinyl headlight trim (all ordered).

I was going to order the IPD plenum and GT3 throttle body but my independent Porsche shop persuaded me the cost-to-power value isn't there. So, I opted to continue with other mods with the OEM front Aero and Getty Design 997 Cup S Rear Bumper.

I appreciated the honesty in performance mod territory but I am going for the Fister exhaust.

Mod-mode for now...

Looks like she has lowering springs already? And spacers?

Yes, H&R springs and 15mm rear spacers and 5mm front. I'm going to order 10mm for the front as I'm keeping the OEM wheels.

Not wanting to hijack your thread, besides IDP + throttle body, I was going to add 200 cell cats with Evoms air filter. I'am not looking for any real power gains.

No worries, and an honest question - why then do it?

So again, price isn't an option for 25-30 HP gains? Just curious. That's what made me rethink the engine mods.

Installed these little beauties today from RENNLINE. I've also ordered their GT3 Vent Kit for the front bumper

Have you considered the 3rd radiator kit by chance?


I fit a kit on mine after a raccoon ran into my bumper cover, and I love it from the looks to the aerodynamic aspects, and oil running cooler.


I picked up from ECS tuning, some of their black powdercoated mesh with radiator push pins holding it in place on all 3 radiators....


it does add to the looks while applying function as well.
