Last year I picked up a Porsche 997 C4s. When I first got the car and started driving it, I was amazed by the overall package. It was the sportiest car I had ever owned when pushed hard, but could also be used for Costco trips, daycare duty, and driven 365 days a year. For me, it was the perfect daily driver, and I really believed, at the time, that I wouldn’t feel the need to mod it. This is what it looked like when I first got it

The car came with some nice options, including sport seats, red seat belts, carbon trim, and factory short shift kit.

Of course, it wasn’t long until I started to make some select upgrades. I swapped out the stock wheels for some forged lightweight Champions, installed a GT2RS steering wheel and matching shift knob, and updated the ECU with a Softronic tune.

For the rear wing, I swapped out the stock decklid and installed an OEM Turbo wing, with an EB Werks fixed wing kit. Also, the painted side sills were looking pretty rough, so I installed new black ones.

After the summer, the car will be going into the shop to get additional work done.
