Your Top 5 Mods under $1,000
Forgive me if a similar thread has already been posted, but I could not find one through the search forum option.
I have read and seen an impressive array of modification thread owners have made to their 997 over the years. Some are not only improve performance, but are also eye candy as well. I have earned a tremendous respect for the knowledge and input from performance and aesthetic seeking modifications made to the 997.
My topic is going to focus on the lower end of the spending curve.
What I am interested in are your Top 5 Modifications for under $1,000 for the 997. Can be anything from appearance to performance, and only includes the price of the item; not the labor (yours or others) and potential headaches to get installed. But, do feel free to add your commentary as a word to the wise on installation.
Got it. Good. Ready......set......go.

A few suggestions to consider:
1. BMC Drop-in Air Filter (better than EVOMS CAI in my experience at 1/3 the cost)
2. Softronics (or any other flash)
3. Professional Paint Correction (if it has significant rids, esp dark color)
