This is both an introduction and a post on mods. I am new to the site, but not to Porsche.
My first Porsche was a 2001 Boxster. I modified the heck out of the car, and was a regular on the Porsche Pete’s Boxster board back in the day (username GreggZ). That car NEEDED a lot of mods, as it was really a very basic car focused simply on driving. Not even a cupholder. Porsche has come a long way with luxury and convenience since then.
I kept that Boxster until 2011 and replaced it with a 2011 Boxster S. Numerous improvements over the earlier models, and still a great driver to this day. I might just keep it forever.
Latest addition is a 2018 Macan S. Have only had it for a about a month but it’s already provided miles of smiles. Honestly it’s exceeded my expectations. For a two ton SUV it handles like a Porsche and somehow feels much lighter. Toss in a good amount of luxury, utility, and Porsche styling and there is lot to like there.
When I started looking at Macan’s I spent a lot of time searching this forum. It’s a great resource and thanks to all who have contributed over time. The one thing about forums is that they are exceptional at creating a “NEED” for things that you didn’t even know existed the day before. But I knew what I was getting into and have been down this road quite a few times over the years.
So here’s a list of what I have done so far to the car. I am sure there will be more to come, but for now pretty darn happy with where I am at.
Very first mod was smoked LED side markers. The orange on black just didn’t fit. Installing the first one took a few minutes to figure out how to release the clip but the second one was done in seconds. Well worth the small investment. Looks better both during the say and at night when it lights up.
