I am finished! PICS Included

Well... almost.

I have finished my first round of mods to my Cayenne Turbo. I will put on cross drilled rotors when I rework my brakes this spring but for now, I am finished.

List of mods to date:
2005 Black/Black Cayenne Turbo
  • I replaced the extra high beam bulb, the cornering light and the fog light bulbs with PIAA bulbs. Very nice add.
  • Added Techart Headlight covers - I wasn't too sure about this at first but I really like them now.
  • Porsche Silver Grill insert - I know some prefer black but I think this really compliments the silver trim and it looks different than most everyone else.
  • Porsche Wheel Arches - Painted black. Not quite as aggressive as other wheel arches but a nice touch.
  • Porsche Sill Trim - Painted Black These are hard to see in the poor pics but they really help form an aggressive stance and lower the posture of the rig.
  • Clear side markers
  • Silver Hood Crest
  • Lowering Links - Nice alternative to $2000 lowering module. Lowered about 1.5"
  • Miltek Exhaust - Deeper throaty sound that has no resonance and puts a smile on my face.
  • Cat Bypass Pipes - same as above
  • EVO Intake - Improved breathing helps with power. A lil noisy but not too bad.
  • GIAC ECU Flash - definite improvement in throttle response and quicker acceleration off the line. A lot of power for a SUV
  • MoBridge iPod integration. - Very cool listening to my iPhone taking calls through my bluetooth headset.
  • Work performed by my friends and Board Sponsors MAXRPM Motorsports
  • 21" BBS RX II Wheels

Captain - looks great!! I like the lowered stance and the wheels! The lowering links are a great add on for the money!

Enjoy it in good health!

Lowering Links available from adjustableairride.com

Mud flaps were a mistake by dealer. They ordered the wrong arches and had them painted before they realized they were wrong. They paid for the mud flaps. Not too bothered by them.

Looks great! I agree with you, on your truck, the silver inserts are a nice touch - VERY good looking ride

Any chance we can get a few sound clips of that exhaust?

Two thumbs up on the upgrades, Honestly I really really like every single thing you have done to your cayenne.

Now just add the RSS plenum,Aerokit front and rear valance and enjoy your cayenne. I am telling you to get the aerokit front and rear because they balance out your new Aerokit sideskirts and add an even more sportier appeal to your gorgeous cayenne.

You need to add in some spacers for the back & Front. It's a shame not having a flush tight finish look with the fender.

Fantastic progress though.
