get the modules to replace your incans, much better. no bulb out warning, they are porsche specific. i have dLED city lights and fogs in yellow also and the stealth signal bulbs. city lights are an ok match, not perfect though but still like em.

+1. The car's performance will improve beyond belief.

Use the change from your thousand for clear side markers and then save for another DE day. And another, and another.

Maybe get a Das Schild to protect the frunk lid when you start learning how to corner and forget you've got something put up there.

1. clear side markers
2. silver hood crest
3. locking plates for rear eccentrics/adjustable toe arms
4. track days and good coaching
5. a Charlie Sheen hooker for the right seat or a Valentine One...either will save you a lot of money in the long run

It really depends on what you want to do with your car in the end. Springs, sway bars, and a shock tower brace will transform you car. However, if you spend $300 on a DE day and then another $300 for another DE day, your priorities will change.

Unfortunately a thousand dollars is not a lot in the P world of mods, whether performance or cosmetics.

Therefore:

1) Springs for performance and cosmetics (two for one because they will change your stance and make your car look more aggressive, yet improve your handling)

2) Front shock tower brace (handling/performance gain)

3) Spend the left over cash (if any) on a track day and then decide want you really want out of the car; looks or driving euphoria. Although the latter greatly depends on your financial situation.

Keep us posted on your direction and mods. Good luck & enjoy either way!

1. Rotech LED taillights. Really improved the appearance.
2. EVOMs intake. Awesome sound at very reasonable money.
3. Alcantara wrapped steering wheel. Truly the best for the buck. Only about $350 from Dallas Custom Steering wheel.
