Smile hello everyone!

Hi my name is Mike.
after my boss(wifey) said go ahead, I went out and bought 2006 C4S.
it has 30k miles. This baby is pure stock except the wheels, 20" Techart, built-in K40 w/remote and iPod port.
I just gave her nice bath. it took me almost whole day. 6 layers of Zaino!
here are the result. what else should I upgrade or change?

You've got Porsche Sport Exhaust (PSE) as well.

Congrats and welcome to 'the club'.

Congratulations on a great car! If I were you I would sell the 20" TechArts and install a set of correct 19" OEM rims. The suspension will work much better with 19s.

Nice example of a 2006. Congrats. +2, I think on the clear side markers. Very easy and inexpensive mod.

Welcome!

Congratulations! I agree, switch out those wheels, stock fit the car much better.

Beautiful! You are going to have a lot of fun in that car!

I would suggest 3M Clear bra on the front and fender flairs. Mine was already installed so I can't tell you more about it but it has saved me from numerous rock chips.

Don't be in a big hurry on the mods, though. It is hard to stop. ;-)

LED tails, makes your 997 looks a bit more modern. There are plenty of mods, probably more than you want to spend. Enjoy what you have now and mod later. Invest in a nice DSLR camera and your 6 layer of Zaino will show. Point and shoot camera's doesn't do your car justice.
