Thanks a lot! You guys know your stuff with these cars. It seems like there's more enthusiasm about the cars here than on the previous Porsche boards I was on. Thats awesome! I'll definately contact some of the people suggested and get ideas and quotes on parts. I think I'd like to eliminate that throttle lag first, then tackle some lighting issues with the car. Like I said before, the license plate LED's look great, and the brighter angel eyes also really stand out. I just don't want any weird error messages popping up on my i-drive.

I'm also considering 20% tint, but not sure if it's too dark. I don't want to make the car look trashy with dark tint. On a black car, it definately looks better, but on silver I'm not sure...

I like the idea of upgrading to a larger wheel and tire package, but the car came with the upgraded sport package with the larger wheels already. I just wonder if it's worth getting rid of the sport wheels for something different since it's already considered an upgraded option. I think I'll wait till I need new tires, and do a total wheel and tire package then. I'm still thinking about it. I'm sure I'll continue to mod the car out.

Thanks again, and keep the suggestions coming!

Get 35% tint, also micro edged. Then, Upgrade to 19's or 20's or get a kit to give the car a more aggressive look. GL!
