Hey Sin, I've added mostly cosmetic mods since I picked it up. "Carrera S" from Bumperplugs in Guards Red, Silver Hood Crest, Full Carbon Fiber side mirrors, Hardwired V1, Premier Clear Bra for RUF front end, Premier Diamond Cut IR tint, BMC Air Filter. I have the Red Tail Lights and the Red Seat Belts coming from Suncoast, those will be installed in the coming weeks.
My big decision lies with the exhaust/cat/header set-up. I have the Fabspeed exhaust currently, the headers/cats are stock at this point. The Fabspeed sounds good, but I'm contemplating whether to go in a different direction. I have spent hours researching the various combinations and listening to Youtube clips. I'm sort of stuck in the old "analysis paralysis" position! I just can't decide what I want to do?

He had Coilovers, HRE 890R, TA side skirts, and RUF front bumper.I would stick to one brand. An exhaust system is supposed to compliment each other, that is why you should keep it the same. I have AWE Cats & Mufflers, and X51 headers, I have lost some low end torque because of this decision. Each brand is specifically designed to match with its products, not others. So I think you should keep going with Fabspeed.

I didn't know his actual name... When you said you got the Ruf bumper, I thought you had a different car

Rep Power: 108 Beautiful job...the car looks killer...love the P40's...Because of the dark wheels for asthetic (and also aerodynamic) reasons you might consider a Gt3 rs wing rather than the taco. It looks meaner, is less common but still oem, and the black bits on the blade would work well with the wheels & front spoiler...which appears to be an RS part also. Just an observation.....
The GT3 Taco wing is much more understated, goes with the curves of the car better. Doesn't stick out as much as the RS wing. I have time to make my decision, so we'll see

sin911,
Sorry late to the thread but nice work on all the mods. I think you got your wheels right after I got mine. They look great on your car and all your mods have been tastefuly done. I went full AWE exhaust on my car as well (mufflers, headers, cats) and absolutely love the sound. I can't wait to hear what you have planned next. Nice work.

Thanks for the compliments, I wanted to mod the car in a way that it doesn't stand out too much or look too boy-racer 
I am thinking of getting the Aerokit/GT3 wing and maybe adding the X51 Intake along with it
Other than that, I think I am done...

Yeah, I remember it was kind of killing you to get back into the country to get your wheels on. Well, well, worth the wait as those P40's look incredible on your car. Great color combo.

Rep Power: 108 I don't like black wheels on silver cars so much... They stick out!

Rep Power: 108 I can not comment on Fabspeed since I don't have any experience... But they are a well known and respected company
