Hey everyone...Some of my recent mods were inspired by some members here sharing their interior photos. I thought we should start a thread focused on the next mods/updates we have planned (or just thinking about), exterior or interior. Maybe others can chime in if they already did it and provide help, have suggestions, critiques, etc.

I'll go first... Currently @Crazy Eddie is working on some Fuse Box Covers for me. I am certain I am driving him nuts by my over-the-top ideas But oh well, he does such amazing work I might as well get something really cool.

I was actually inspired by someone here who posted their Fuse Box Covers (Can't find the post), but it was wrapped in leather and they had it embroidered as well.

Anyways, would love to hear everyone's future mods/upgrades.

My desired next round of mods, some of these are desired, not necessarily in process.

Fine tune the fitment of my TechArt front lip around the front bumper wheel wells.
Install GT4 rear valence/diffuser. It has more aero than the GTS rear valance
Install linear rate springs with height adjusters, possibly the to be released GT spring kit from TPC Racing
GiroDisc front and rear rotors, will do the 350mm upgrade in the rear.
Rear brake ducting from GT4 or other model
3M door edge guard on the leading edge of my GT4 scoops, possibly PPF them long term.
CSF aluminum center radiator, thinking is it is more resistant to rock punctures than the OE one
Install new CV boot clamps sourced from McMasterCarr that are ever so slightly smaller than the OE ones to stop the grease slinging
Arrive and Drive key fob in Carmine red, instead of the ebay red one in there now. Wish there was a key fob and mode dial cover combo that matched @Tom
Custom override button for the PSE valve so I can make it always loud/always quiet/factory programing
Custom override button for the Sound Symposer so I can make it always loud/always quiet/factory programing
decide if a lightweight battery is worth the dollars to save a few pounds.

Will likely add more items over time

Nice list Jeremy! You're gonna be busy in that new garage!

The new garage is taking longer than I was hoping. The roofing is going on today thought, so progress is being made.

Wow, I can always count on @J-Dub when it comes to mods!

Cant wait to see that diffuser! Might need to get some gt4 tips/xpipe to go with it

Better to take longer and have it done correctly than rushed and find overlooked issues that require unnecessary punch list fixes and/or repairs.

I have a few interior mods currently being made, but I’m still thinking of what to do with my sports chrono housing…

leather/chalk stitch
Alcantara/chalk stitch
Porsche weave Carbon

Hmmmm. I kind of like the CF. If your car is going to be sitting in the sun for any length of time (probably not), maybe the CF is more resilient? (I have no idea - just guessing.)

But the others are nice too. I like Alcantara but for that surround the leather would be better imo. Would need to see your interior live to decide as any decision would be dependent on the entire look.

You'll figure out which one you like best. My input is basically worthless, especially considering that, as you know, I'm mostly good appearance-wise with my cars as they came from Porsche.

Do you have all three of the housings now? (The pics almost look as thought they were taken by you - cannot tell by the file names.) If you do, set 'em on the dash to see which looks best. (Btw, if you have all three now, I can see a new business in your future: "71eh's Porsche Parts Emporium". Your gonna have to sell the unused versions of extra, unused customized pieces that you've acquired. )

Hey. Ha, no I don't own any of them yet. I really do like the carbon. Right now, I have matching carbon for my inner door sills, all the trim, and the center console trim piece. I don't want to add to much carbon, as I really like leather and alcantara, so it's nice to just have a couple pieces in carbon.

But yea, I agree it has to go with the rest of my interior, which is what I am trying to do.

I have a bunch of interior pieces in progress right now (in either Leather or Alcantara)... The idea is to create a nice mix of Black Alcantara & Leather, with little splashes of Porsche style carbon fiber, with a couple red accents (gauges, mode selector, seatbelts).

I vote for photo number 3. Is that sold by Edguards?
