Would let these go for cheap. Currently set up with Pirelli winter tires but I think I've decided for this car that I don't really need a set of dedicated winter tires/wheels. I know that everyone wants to out bigger wheels on these cars but I think the 17's are the sweet spot for compliance and handling.

P.S. You should list the size. XS
i like those better than the stock -
problem with the stock is they aren't directional, so one side looks different than the other
who does that?

bumperettes have to go. bike rack or not.
Would it be sacrilegious to install a real radio with carplay in there?
apparently the climate controls can be moved to the lower pod - delete the CD holder,
and use a double din infotainment system in the upper pod.
also re-use those button blanks for counter measures -

I say go for it. It would definitely make owning the car a lot more enjoyable.
Considering the same for my Cayman, although I haven't looked into it recently. From what I remember it's a lot easier if you don't have one of the "upgraded options" (Bose, etc), but might be different with the 986.

I upgraded the radios in the M3, my daughter's 325 and the boy's GTI (and also your truck 😁). Not sure for the Porsche, but usually they have models that fit like stock, best mod ever.
With the bose system, the amplifier is in the frunk. Purchasing a system with low level (RCA) outputs and adapter kit should make it relatively painless to keep the current amp/speaker setup - although not improving sound quality, it would certainly be an improvement in capabilities.
I haven't looked too much into them - but it appears the stock systems use an amber theme, would be nice to maintain that. and no chrome bezel!

The BMWs were the same. Had to relocate the climate controls. Search the forums, I know the Bose w/pre-amp systems on the BMW didn't work with the aftermarket stuff.
There's also this insanity.

Crutchfield usually lays out what you need pretty easily.
Oh, and nothing is cheap for a Porsche. It won't be the first time you hear this.

This is not true at all, especially for a 986. Plenty of aftermarket out there and lots of used body parts if needed. Just dont go to the dealer for parts and you're fine
BaT and local to NJ - a dealer that seems to move quite a few of these.
This has some cosmetic work at minimum. Hopefully no surprises mechanically.
