New C2S owner. Need assistance

Hi all. Recently purchased a 997S black on black with Chrono Option in Hong Kong. However, there are no really good shops for modifying porsches here, so I did extensive research on mods in several user forums. I have chosen my mod preferences:
Techart spoiler / cargraphic front lip
Techart side skirts
full AWE system
H&R lowering springs
Since I live so far away in SE Asia, I need to ship the products. Is there a shop that has all these in stock in one go? From what I gather a lot of shops either carry AWE or Fabspeed, Teachart or Cargraphic....
And how much am I looking at for delivery? How long does it take to ship them over?
The only mod shop in HK is Gemballa. Too wild for my taste.

PM me if any shop is interested in my business.

Stephen at Imagine Auto, Arling, Sharkster. None of that stuff is too exotic, so any of the board sponsor mod. guys should be able to heeok you up, if they can ship overseas without violating a distributor agreement . . .

So I have sent my requests to all of the sponsors u have mentioned here. BTW....I am going for aftermarket mufflers and sport-cat, but not headers. Any suggestion? I used to drive a 996 c2 with PSE. Sounded very great. How does it compare with fabspeed and awe? Listening to web recordings doesn't work for me!

Is interesting there was not many shops specialize Porsche in HK. I'm originally from HK and there were so many mod Porsche in there. I think most of the higher-end shop can order Techart, Cargraphic, H&R stuff for you.

For the exhaust sound, one of my friend used to have AWE full system in his C2S. It was way louder, deeper and raw than PSE in 996. If you want race car like sound, you will love AWE fully system.

The first thing you should upgrade are the headers .. the stock ones from the C2S are quite restrictive (even the ones from the C2 are better).

Why would they put better header on the lower model??

Fellow users of Fabspeed and AWE. Can u tell me the sound, which one is closer to PSE? Mine will be a daily user, so extreme sounds is not preferred. And further, do new headers give u low end torque or high end horsepower? Need to make a decision now.
