Just went on a shopping spree

Today the dealer called and said my cayenne has left the factory and is on its way, they still don't know where it is or when it will be here, but the phone call got me excited. So this is what I have already or just ordered today:

ZE Forged Mesh 22" wheels black centers w/ polished lip
Lowering links
Fabspeeed cat bypass pipes
Contact navigation dash kit
Pioneer d3 navigation with bluetooth and Ipod interface
VHT nightshades
Lime green paint for calipers

Oh its a 2008 cayenne V6 6-speed, black on black
I honestly don't know if there is anything else I can get for the car. I think I will end up with the techart kit when it comes available, but until then this is all im going to do. Is there anything else even available for the car that I need to look at? How do you think the lime green calipers are going to look?
Also does anyone know if a supercharger is in the works for the 2008 v6 or who I could talk to about a custom setup?
Thanks for listening to my rant and for any feedback

This may be a naive question, but why soup up a V6 rather than getting a V8?

Because when I ordered the car in July this was the only way to get a manual transmission.

blk/blk Cayenne with lime green calipers...

I dunno...

having trouble picturing it and it looking good....imo


(congrats on the purchase btw) The new 6cyl Cayenne isn't as slow or boring to drive as the earlier year models. Just make sure you press the sport button everytime you get in ;-)

Lime green will be interesting. If you want some color besides red that will def look good on a black porsche, can't go wrong with yellow calipers.

I dont know about the Lime Green's either...I like to keep mod's as close to factory as possible.

In my opinion I would say if not red, then go for yellow calipers with blk porsche lettering on them.......thats the color porsche uses for their ceramic composite brakes....i believe its a $10,000 option on the car

blk on blk w/yellow calipers..hot

I decided to scrap the green caliper idea, I guess I was having a hard time imagining it. So I guess red it is, Should I put the Porsche logo back on or the Brembo logo?

I say go yellow calipers with black lettering. Itd look amazing

If you go with red, then get the white lettering...in my opinion.

I like both those options because they are original colors and combinations. The red w/white lettering obviously being the turbo and above calipers...and the yellow being the super ceramic composite brakes which cost about $10gs!

i have an Titanium CS and i painted my original silver calipers red w/white lettering to match the turbo's.

if you need to find caliper decals, got mine here, theyre amazing!

I am actually thinking about getting the GTS with v8 and manual. Hopefully Porsche is still going to sell them here with a manual since they pulled the details in the website after couple weeks the GTS was introduced in Frankfurt. I am thinking of getting air suspension and pdcc too but may try out the standard springs with pasm first to see if the ride is ok.

Yeah both PASM and PDCC, the car should be here and day, I ordered it in early July. It really should look good, I have e-mailed a few shops about superchargers, so who know whats next, all this before I even have the car.
