Exclamation My NEW 1998 RIVIERA BLUE C2S! Help me decide on MODS!

Just purchased this one owner 1998 C2S with 12k miles. I just came out of a 2006 C2S, so I hope I enjoy this car just as much! If anyone has made the same transition, please tell me the pros and cons of the transition after having the 993 for a while. As far as mods I am looking at adding a different set of wheels, aggressive exhaust. I will keep all original parts and open to suggestions as to what you guys that have had the 993's suggest. If anyone knows the best place to buy these parts please also let me know. I am completely new to 993's and super excited! Thanks ahead of time for all advice! UPDATE: I am not modding the car, I plan on driving this car as is for a very long time! Thanks to Len for selling me his beautiful car. I hope to keep it just as nice and long as he has.
Chris

Bumper plugs, suspension, Fister StgII or III w/wide oval tips...... then call it a day.

Leave the turbo fin for the turbo cars.

Gorgeous color.

Thank you, where can I order the parts? I am not 100% on the wing as of yet. I saw an aero wing on a C4S and thought it looked good. Thats where I got the idea.

I'd go Euro M030/Bilstein HD shocks for the ride height the car was meant to have (and did have in Europe). After that, bumper plugs as others have said, then NOTHING ELSE! No extra spoilers/wings, the car is gorgeous as is.

Absolutely stunning. I called after you committed to buy. Not that I need a 2nd 993, but this is a very special car. Please let me have 1st in line "dibs" (as my 6 yr old says) if you ever decide to sell, ok? Congrats, I love it...
