Let's see what modifications everyone has done to their 992. Before and after pictures if you have them. Also it would be helpful to know your thoughts on the mods. I'll start. Currently I have painted my exclusive wheel black from satin arum. Also I did the clear side indicator lights from amber to clear. I installed Bilstein even SE coilovers about 6 months after having the car. The Bilstein ride great and keep all of the adaptive function. The ride quality is very close to stock. The coilovers were on backorder at the time but well worth the wait. I was not happy with the pirellis that came on the car. I had Michelin P4S on my previous cars (BMW M3, Audi RS4). I found a great deal on a set of Cup 2s and went that route. I kept the front tire size stock and went 315 in the rear. The suspension and tire changes are great and gives the car that little bit extra in the Arizona canyon and mountain I drive. I also added a rear wing (China special). I wanted to get a car with the aero package and there where non to be found when I was looking. The wind was in okay shape when I got it and I had to have the body shop do a ton of work on it to get it decent enough to put on the car. The wing fitment is about 95% there now. The car also has full PPF. The plan is to do a proper conversion when parts become available. I have the front aero bump sitting in my garage now waiting for me to source the other parts needed. I also added GT3 side skirts to the car. The car came with the sport design side skirts painted to match. Pictures below.

I'm testing spoilers/wings right now. Did you install yourself or have shop do it? Did you get a new wing base or just bolt on to active aero base and code it out? I have same color, car looks great!

I had a body shop prep, paint and install the wing. The dealership coded out the active wing function so it does not go up at speed.

Where is anyone shopping for spoilers ? I have stock height B6 front shocks, non adjustable, & stock height springs.
I have a 996, not S4, looking for a small chin spoiler for the front to help on those really hot days shove some additional air into the nose. Also looking for some high speed dive. Front end wants to float on the long quick straight.
I have not found any available for the standard base Carrera dot one or dot 2, only for the 4S.
any source will help.

Kinda “weak” but 1/8” vinyl pinstripe tape fits perfectly on the rear intake grill slats.

I found a blue that is a perfect match to Shark blue. Cheap and quick but adds a little pop !!!

Looks great! Subtle yet noticeable. Maybe I'm not seeing the pic correctly but to me it looks as though the slats' indentations were specifically designed for 1/8th pinstripe.

I'm waiting on some parts, but I am installing a third radiator (front center of the bumper) from Porsche. This option is for hot climate vehicles. It is stock on the Turbo and Turbo S and also on the GT3. I've read that when you tune our cars, they tend to run hotter than stock, so by installing this kit it will help with the cooling. Don't have picture yet but will be doing a video on DIY and posting it on here.
