Hi, My father handed down to me his 2005 Cayenne S as a graduation present. The car is practically new with less then 10k miles on it (he is the kind of person who garages all his nice cars and drives the worse cars). So right now the car is 100% stock but I want to spice it up a little. Any ideas on exterior modifications that can make the car look nicer (rims, kits, etc.) My price range is 15k. I am new to this kind of thing. Thanks.

 

So many options, what do you want to do to it? You can lower it (techart lowering modules or others), put larger rims on it (personally prefer to stay 20" or below for performance reasons), lots of body kits available - I like the techart pieces. Don't know much about tuning with the Cayenne S, I know with the turbo you can easily chip it to increase HP dramatically. Regardless, have fun!

 

Rims are like a necessity because I do not like the stock ones at all. I do like porsches GTS rims but I'm not sure where to find them. If you have any idea please post the url

 

Take that $15 grand and put it in the bank. For now just enjoy the awesome SUV you just got. There's a lot to learn about that car.

 

exterior:
1. 22-inch wheels
2. lowering module or links
3. rear valance/skirt (to cover the large stock exhaust muffler)
4. aftermarket quad exhaust tips

performance:
1. EVOMS V-Flow intake
2. cat bypass pipes
3. ECU Flash
4. more robust diverter valves

 

ndavis: I am going down to Panama City for spring break in about a week and would like to see the wheels in person before I make any decision.

 

to start:

1. replace rear lower valance and add quad tips(cosmetic)
2. roof rails(cosmetic)
3. Fabspeed bypass pipes( performance)
4. BMC filters(performance)

 

Could not agree more with this! You will receive exactly $0 for your $15,000 in extras when you go to sell it. Remember cash is king in this economy. Just my 2 cents.

 

+1 to that

 

Here's what I've done:
1. White side markers
2. Quad exhaust tips (need new lower valence)
3. Roof Rails
4. Rims - nothing fancy, just switched to the '08 Turbo rims
