Best Site(s) for (Minor) Mods

[ghost]

I've just bought my 996 C4S and am enjoying it thoroughly. Was curious, though, which sites you'd recommend for some basic mods. Just swapped the clear markers in, but would love to get the aluminum shifter, turbo twin tips, etc. - small stuff like this.

I know Gert's Carnewal is a good site. Any other online sites that do a good job of offering some of these mods?

Thx.

Congratulations.

Sunset Imports has parts at cost +15% (see link at top of window).

Carnewal is great, but unfortunately the exchange is not too favorable right now.

If you still have the CD holder, I'd recommend you replace it with another "shelf", available from your local dealer or from ebay (from a Porsche dealer). IMO, the CD holder is not a very efficient use of that space.

The aluminum shifter is a good choice, I did that and the handbrake. I got mine from Suncoast Porsche.

If your mats are worn, you can get these Lloyd mats with a C4S logo. Lloyd is licensed to use Porsche logos/script and I hear they are good mats. My mats are starting to wear a bit and I'm probably going to get these.

Thanks for the comprehensive response Scott. Agree that Carnewal, while comprehensive, isn't offering the most competitive deals due to the X-rate. Will look into all of these vendors. Many thanks!!

Any thoughts on pedal sets ScottW?

[Bostonduce]

Gert's (Carnewal) pedal's are the "Ruf" pedals without the logo and added 'Ruf $$$'.

Rubber dots for wet grip and very heavy guage aluminum.

They'll cost you about $400/set with the upside down exchange rate and duties.

Any other suggestions then Bostonduce?

[ScottW]

Personally, I'm fine with the stock pedals. IMO, a solid rubber pedal is better than the rubber dots. They look cool, but when do you actually see them?

There was a thread over at 6speedonline about a group buy from Gert and/or Ruf. I don't remember whether they picked Ruf or Gert's, but search and you can probably find the thread.
