Default New to me 2013 GTS

First Porsche for me! Bought it this past week - has 100k miles on it, but was primarily one owner, and the dealership put a CPO on it! I bought a third year of CPO for peace of mind. I have good service record details on it. It’s had valve cover seal replaced, coils, spark plugs, fresh oil change, so hopefully is pretty mechanically sound for a bit. The exhaust note is just fantastic.

Any recommended first mods? Im planning on doing clear turning lights, maybe replacing interior lights with LEDs(holler if any recommendations), and really want to replace the high beams / fog lights with better bulbs.

I should add I’m very interesting in adding CarPlay. I’m in the Philadelphia area, think it seems like a couple shops will do that work.

also thinking of wrapping the car in Nardo Gray and blacking out wheels and emblems.

Congrats - great looking GTS! I’m not much of a mod guy so no suggestions there, but I do have a 14 GTS that I love.

Congrats on your purchase. I bought my 2013 GTS about 5 years ago. I still love it now as I did back then. Just an all-around fun vehicle that is fairly practical too.

As far as simple minor mods... I really like the grab-handle storage containers and the Porsche logoed door bottom puddle lamps (everyone loves the look).

Great for storing glasses, pens, keys, etc. Barely can tell they are there.

Tons of places sell these, don't recall where I purchased mine... probably on eBay:
https://aoonuauto.com/car-led-door-l...s-2-pack-a-po6
Shop around, probably has to come from China to get Porsche LOGO

Rear cargo "anti-slide" velcro blocks. These work perfectly with the existing carpet. I use them almost every time I open the hatch. Simple, cheap, easy, and highly functional.

Congrats nice whip!

I wouldn't replace those interior lights with LEDs. That central light with it's super warm glow and the way it gradually turns on and off is so elegant and makes for the nicest skin tones. why ruin it

Congrats on the new ride! Post some interior pics when you get a chance and if you're looking for those grab-handle storage pockets, I've got a set in black that I'm not using so PM me if interested.

Those grab handle pockets are awesome to have and a no brainer mod. I bought the Porsche OEM rubber floor mat set with the one for the hatch also - that’s a good buy too. Also the Rennlist phone mount - easy to install and great setup.

This cup holder insert is highway robbery, but essential for holding everything but a coke can.

I think they might have meant Rennline. They make great stuff.

I personally prefer this vent mount because it moves it away from the screen, but it’s all personal preference. There is a long thread(s) going over all the pros and cons…

Doh! Yes Rennline - I like mine because it doesn’t block any of the vents and sits to the right of my navi screen. GTCharlie is pointing you in the right direction.

Congrats on your purchase! It looks very familiar! I blacked out the emblems the side markers and tail lights and reflectors. I also have full front end clear bra and tint. I’ve put Morimoto fogs in and done a complete audio upgrade with Morel and JL audio speakers and a Mobridge amp. Enjoy!
