First mod I'd do would be to replace the CD holder with a more functional bin.

Any ideas where I can get a set for a reasonable price?
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Hello all -
Wanted to post a quick note and introduce myself and my new baby - a 2002 C2. Factory upgrades include 18" wheels, heated sport seats with Porsche crests, seat backs and console in exterior color, Bose, PSM, rocker panels, heated seats and a couple of aluminum look bits. Next mod...clear side markers.
I'm really looking forward to getting acquainted with the car. I'm coming off a 2002 M3 that I really enjoyed and am looking forward drawing my own conslusion in the ongoing M3 v 911 debate.
I would also like to say that I've been quite impressed with this board. Lot's of great questions, answers, comments and cars. I hope to be able to contribute some insights of my own soon.

Welcome to the board - Great looking car. Now the fun really begins....
Short Shift Kit
Porsche Sport Exhaust
Suspension
Decisions...decisions
It doesn't stop...... ( - :
Congratz! Enjoy your new ride, and your already bitten by the mod bug, so run as far away from this board as you possibly can. Rennlist has a way of spending other peoples money real easy
Enjoy
Congrats! I still remember making my intro post - only June last year but already 10k miles added - I just can't get enough!
Take to an AutoX too - lots of fun learning how the car behaves with low risk.
All the best!
Barry
nice machine - i also moved from an 02 M3, it was a nice machine and i would have loved both, but just not worth a divorce!
let me know how you find the throttle feel between the two. i find the P throttle much smoother than my SMG'd M3.
Welcome! Nice car, nice pics! Not really sure I'd put clear markers on a SY car. I think the orange markers look better than clear in that color. First mod I'd do would be to replace the CD holder with a more functional bin. See? you just introduced tyourself, and already started a controversy!!
To really appreciate the diff with the M3, take it to the track. Have fun!!
Thanks for all the positive feedback! So far the car has been a joy. I�ll provide a more comprehensive analysis of the car vs. my 2002 M3 at some point but two things jumped out immediately.
- The Porsche is around 400lbs lighter and you can really feel it when you drive.
- I enjoyed the M3 SMG (so convenient when you get a call!) but it�s great to get back to a pure manual transmission. It really is a more engaging driving experience.
Now on to the mods!
Palting - I thought your comment on the orange markers was interesting. A friend of mine said the same thing yesterday when he was checking out the car. I'll probably install one clear, see how it looks, and then make the call - clear or orange.
Carrera Mike - You're right, the yellow seat belts are a must. Any ideas where I can get a set for a reasonable price?
I�ve read a lot of positive comments on B&M�s SSK. What are the advantages/disadvantages of this vs. the Porsche kit? Does B&M OEM to Porsche?
TIA,
911PSYCHO
Hey CPA4s...I have a 99 996 and just got a 2002 M3 to go with it and wife just nodded her head and said "whatever you want and makes you happy go ahead, I know you love your cars!" So it is possible to have BOTH 911PYSCHO...just at a price of your sanity as I decide which one I feel like driving sometimes (the M3 is my daily driver) and sometimes can't make up my mind. Both have speed and power although I must admit the 996 does shift alot smoother and has a smoother power band while my M3 just likes to rev and it's power is sometimes brutal. But what I like most is each does almost the same thing but just gets there a little differently that's all!
Congrats and enjoy! Welcome to the club...you'll regret it...or at least your checkbook will!
Nice looking car , and welcome to rennlist, Most of the people here are great and more then willing to help you in your journey of mods, I remember buying my car new and telling my wife I wouldn't even change the stock audio system.Well in about a years time , The car is NOT the same 996 I bought, which I think is a good thing.With the knowledge of the people here , there is not one thing you cant do....Congrats on the car!
Welcome to the wealth of P-Car Knowledge and Great P-Car Enthusiasts - Remember Once your bitten by the Porsche Bug, There is no going back... Good Luck..
Car looks great--I especially like the Yellow console and the seat backs....As far as the clear corners, I think the smoked look really looks good on lighter colored cars [yellow, white, etc]...hey just my opinion, but it's your car, do what you want with it!
Best mod you can get: $17 Rennlist membership
you will save infinitely more time and money with this mod than any other mod you could get
Paid my $17.00 for memebership last Thursday...still waiting for my status to change
Also, I went with the clear sidemarkers. While the orange looked OK against the yellow, I like the way the clear ties with the rear light treatment.

911P,
I have asked few places for the OEM speed yellow seatbelts, and they want both my arms and 1 of my legs. No luck on that
I just installed the OEM Porsche Short Shift Kit, which by the way is also made my B&M. Here's the + and - : Pluses> Solid feel, shorter throw(of course), gives me that confirmed feel that it's locked in a gear. Minuses>Way stiffer than the stock/extra effort needed in shifting.
Welcome & Happy Motoring!!
Nice P-car! Welcome to the Porsche Phunny Pharm! It's nice to get a new "inmate" in here! How do you like the sport seats? Did you ever try the "standard" seats?
