2.A drop is honestly NEEDED
3.Fast intentions exhaust
4.Test pipes for me but most owners will go with HFCs...
5.Change interior bulbs and license plate bulbs... OH and the city lights

1. New tires (probably Michelin PS2's). I fell in love with those tires after borrowing my friends Porsche Cayman S for a few weeks. They aren't r compounds, but they are nonetheless absolutely great tires.

That's about all I can think of is necessary for this car since it's so good from the factory.

Why would anyone run coilovers if their car is never going to see the track?
