FVD tune and clearbra
Although the Softronics works well, the support of their installer, Vivid Racing, isn't too friendly or reliable. I asked for help in returning my 987.2 Boxster S back to stock 3 or 4 weeks ago. He said he would, but-I'm still waiting, except that I had to trade the car without being able to return my Boxster to stock because I never heard from VR again.
In addition, FVD gives you 5 to 8 tunes, depending on vehicle, so you don't have to buy anything else from them if you add plenum, throttle body or headers, or both. With Softronics, I am informed that you would have to pay and go through the process again with each significant performance mod you make after installing the Soft., and it won't be free.

There's a DE and open track event at spring mountain on feb 23-24. There's also pca vegas sunday breakfast on jan 13 at The Egg Works, at 6960 South Rainbow Blvd. It's just south of 215 on Rainbow, across from the Arroyo Market Square Shopping Center.
There's also weekly cars and coffee meets on eastern just south of the 215. I go once a month, but it's cold so I probably won't go til feb.
Nice looking car. I'm sure we'll run into each other someday if you go to all of the porsche events here.
If you're going to get the car tinted or want a clear bra go to these guys. They are pricey, but work on a lot of high end cars. When I took my carrera GTS there, my car was the cheapest car there.

Khanman Congrats on the purchase, it looks simply stunning 
As others have already mentioned get a clear bra installed sooner then later and get some Euro Clear Side Markers. As for other modifications, drive it for a while and do some reading about what others have done and what is going to best suit you. Are you going to track the car at all ?

What bulb is in that picture... did it replace the orange bulb too? If so what type of bulb or LED to go with? for a 09 boxster S <------
