Still having a hard time taking the first plunge (besides, alum bezels and C4S mats), but really considering doing so every day.
When I bought my 99 this past March I swore, (to myself) that I would enjoy the Carrera "just the way it is" Now I want exhaust, Aero kit, and I already have the wood shifter and parking brake. Damm
No kidding! I've never been the mod type, but being on this board opens up the door to all this evil. I'm like a addict needing a fix. Still having a hard time taking the first plunge (besides, alum bezels and C4S mats), but really considering doing so every day. This site kills me!
Rick,
How about clear (Euro) side markers?

Simple, cheap......
Ha Ha Ha!!!
I started modding my 04 Targa, then lost my mind on launch day and traded it for a 997S (3 weeks after new wheels, a month after PSE and a week after short shifter). I "swore" I would be happy with the 997S as is. Last month, new wheels. Last week, short shifter. Today, PSE. Carnewal pedals. Fabspeed cold air kit. I can't even remember everything! It's a friggin rennlist disease!
Kirby, waiting for your new ideas!

I don't think there is decent mod for under $300 bucks on the 996 (shifter maybe?)

Ditto to C4S Surgeon.
Just remember, if you're married you just might need to balance out all these mods expenses with goodies for the better half....call me shallow but it tones down if not eliminate the nagging. So figure out your cost, multiply by 2 if you're married and enjoy.
Rick, When I first got my 996 I intended ti keep it stock. That lasted for about 30 minutes. I have a Gemballa exhaust, large oval tips, Fabspeed intake kit, clear side markers, Gemballa Pedal cover, Porsche car cover and windshield shade for sales if you are interested.
Would you feel better spending your dollars with me if I told you I drove a Vespa, had 5 kids (Dont know the mothers), half my face is gone, missing an arm, and I live in a pop up camper.
just trying to do my job. I enjoy educating and making people happy in the end
I myself got my 996 cause it already had wheels, springs, and aero kit. I was done spending 60K on a car to make it nuts. Well I am a GOD DAMN LIAR. I have replaced the aero kit, the wheels, suspension, and just about everything else. I am addicted to my own drug! It never ends!
Rick, what made you go with a 996 instead of a 32-valve 928? Performance is similar, at least according to the specs, and it's a
lot
cheaper.
I ask because I just sold my '83 928 and while I'm thinking of getting a black/black 928S4 with 5-speed, I'm tempted by some of the prices I'm seeing on 996s helped by the fact there are a lot more places near me working on 911s than 928s.
Emanuel
Emanuel, I would never sell my 928 and replace it with a 911. The purchase of the 911 was only to be an addition and it is a COMPLETELY different car. But I did not feel the need to have two 928's, one is plenty. Just like my kids, I love them both. Lots of luck to you...
