Thanks for the comments guys, appreciate the feedback on the mods weather it’s positive of negative. My current feeling since making this video is that I might switch back to the Carrera classics and put some summer tyres on, and remove the vinyl lettering on the side of the car.
Cheers.

Yep, good move! Perhaps it's because I'm an old scroat, but I prefer the car as it comes, standard. The front spoiler might be something I might consider though. Good video, as usual.
I prefer the original Carrerra wheels myself.
They are the only forged wheels out of all
Prefer the original wheels vs the others.
I would of kept the original alloys, and definitely remove the decal stripes. You mentioned a few times trying to avoid tacky and the those decal Porsche stripes screams tacky. You got a very nice black Porsche and it looks very classy, elegant and classic
Interesting. I thought the decal stripes were the best upgrade
The Yellow on the stripe should be red to match the brake calipers.
Kill the stripes as everyone knows it’s a Porsche.
I always feel it's a downgrade when adding stripes on sides!
It looks cheap to me.. personal opinion.
Side decals maybe in red would of tied it in nice with the callipers. Not a fan on the wheels but personal choice. Nice to see a fellow Porsche owner modifying his car 👍
Ive got to be honest mate, those mates just look cheap and tacky really not in fitting with what is a classy looking and tastefully modified car
I agree entirely
100% my favourite are the Carrera Classics. Such a gorgeous shape and colour to them.
The rears need the spring perches adjusted to reduce the rake which will give your front lip more clearance.
Is that your car for sale at dove house? Looks very similar?
Nice car! Standard Carrera wheels are best. No yellow decals.
Only because you asked. Normally I'd keep my opinions to myself. Not a fan of the stripe, the springs, and the shake can painting. I like the mats and the splitter. Not a big fan of the GT3 buckets though, They're not very comfortable outside of the track. And I absolutely hate Alcantara. It's a miserable material IMHO. And last but not least, I'm kind of ambivalent on all the wheels shown.
Sport Technos are definitely the best. Not a fan of side decals, but as you say, it's a matter of personal taste.
Interesting that you spray the very small chrome spray port black, then put a huge vinyl stripe with yellow lettering on the side. I am a big fan of Porsche’s and have owned and modded several over the years.
Enjoy your car.
The original wheels looked the best!
Keep the original wheels (or maybe check out the Sport Classic wheels, best 991 wheel IMO) and lose the stripes, or at least the script in a contrasting color. No stripes would look best but if you want to keep them make the script the same color.
Need to get a sports design steering wheel
Wheels look good, side decals no, we know it's a Porsche
Sorry but I’ll only give you a pass for 3 of the mods. The front bumper mod, the light washer colour change to black and the lowering of the suspension. The original wheels that came with the car are best. All the other changes look tacky. The side decal looks horrible and the grey logo looks off as well. The new mats look cheap. Sorry that’s just my opinion.
Very good video. Your idea painting the rear emblem is something I will do to my chrome too! Thanks
Just saw your car for sale???
Dove House Motor Company: perhaps!!
I have the Carrera S Wheels in Platinum, but always love the Sport Techno Wheels. Great choice. My favorite. Also, love the floor mats. Great look.
I like the Techno wheels, interesting that you have so much $$ tied up in wheels / tires, good to know for those of us with limited budgets. I like the dual-season floor mats, nice choice.
I agree, the sport techno II wheels look the best.
Agree on the stripes. They are tacky and 1970s. I’m also concerned with your apparent addiction to buying wheels and tyres. They all look pretty good to me although the originals are fine. Nice car though.
Lol you are not the first person to say that. My plan would be to keep the ones I love and sell the rest.
Remove the stripes the car is fine without them, Carrera wheels and no to the carpets.
I like the 2nd set of wheels and the spoiler lip. They simply look good on this vehicle. In addition, I would include those same stripes, only they would be entirely silver. Otherwise, I would leave them off. Good video...keep up the good work.
Very nice! So far on mine:
1. Clear front side marker lights (North American cars come with orange ones)
2. Soul Performance street headers (sounds awesome!)
3. Softronics engine tune (the difference is noticeable)
4. Radiator grill covers to protect the radiators
5. Raised height centre section leather armrest with embossed Porsche crest (looks great and makes the armrest a bit taller)
6. 20" phone dial wheels (a bit controversial, but I like them and it gives a cool retro look)
7. Full PPF covering followed by a ceramic coating. Keeps that black paint swirl and scratch free.
8. AntiGravity lithium battery. Over 40lbs lighter, and has a built in reserve capacity that you access with a push of a button on a fob that lets you unlock your car and drive away, should your main battery go flat.
9. Carbon fibre exhaust tips.
Next up is Eibach springs as well. Just need to lower it a little bit, like you said.
Original Carrera wheels look a lot better than the others, maybe that’s why Porsche chose them, however it’s your car your choice! 👍🏽Red decals too.
I like the techno wheels but also the classics like great too, I do like the side strip, however if are to keep the yellow lettering, the brake calipers need to be yellow as well, just my thoughts, sweet looking car anyway, cheers for Australia 👍 keep the content coming Satch
All looking very smart. Love those wheels!
I like your current wheels and the original wheels the same. As for the other mods, I think the lowering of the car is something I would never do, but it is one of the nicest Porsches I have ever seen, so is it the wheels? The side stripe is fine. I could see myself getting one, but some people prefer the less shouty approach I guess? I love your number plate. Nice car man.
Rims look good, unique choice. I also surprisingly like the side decals, would probably match better with yellow brakes but overall very clean and tastefully modded car.
Your right about the calipers, after you pointed that out the striping would look better, I generally don’t like stripes but that may look good
Looks good mate, nice subtle upgrade.
Everyone hates the stripes and I thought I would too, but I have to admit, they make the car look awesome. Even better with the Carrera Classic wheels. Gorgeous gorgeous car!
Gorgeous! Ever think about switching in clear brake lights? I always thought those looked good on darker color 991s.
Porsches Looks awesome in black. 🙌🏼
good video, I have a 2013 991, not the S though, my mods were I put on the same front spoiler, added, the dual exhaust tips, had a back up cam installed, added a usb connection in the center console, went with the clear side marker, put 20s instead of the 19s, had the calipers painted red and added the Porsche decal on the calipers. I also brought the reset tool, and did my own oil change, and the biggest job was i replaced the two air filters where you had to remove the entire rear bumper. Thinking of changing out the exhaust for more HP, but how fast do I really want to go. Lowering it seems a nice change, I will consider that. Love the car...love the manual feel , plus if prevents people from asking you to drive auto version.
Awesome mods bud, well done! I love customising my Cayennes. Now I want to add a 991 to the collection! Subtle and nice … keeps the car updated. Love the graphic decals. If was shit, Porsche wouldn’t be offering this and the 911 versions on their cars as options in 2022.
Congratulations on your simplicity of exposure and for the beautiful machine.
I also own a 2013 991 4S with a Cartier red interior. Could you send me the specifications you placed the order with for your front and rear mats?
Thank you
Michele Marullo
Stripe looks great. I want the same but in the US so hope to find them. Mats look great too!
The wheels that came standard are my favorite and what came on my 17 .2 base. Mine is also the base black! So hard to keep clean but it is my DD after all. The sport techno wheels are a close second, and I do like the stripes. An exhaust would be a great mod to look at, Soul PP has a few options!
love the wheel love the side strips yellow -gray is cool. thumbs up from newport beach california USA
The front lip is a must imo, I install them on every car I've had
Also big fan of the Sport Technos, just wish they were more concave
Floormats nice and the decals are cool too
I have a 981C but it has the standard sport wheel with multi function, I want to swap it to the sport wheel with alcantara and paddles instead of the 2 way switches. Its for looks only, the wheel I have now is more practical and with the 2 way button I don't even have to lift my fingers which mean I can grip the wheel better and focus more on driving. I just don't like the look of it, that's all. That's what Id do if I were you. The decal.. I don't know, I've never been a fan personally. Too subtle for flare, too noticeable to blend in.
Lovely 911. Definitely keep the original alloys, maybe change colour of alloys to gunmetal grey. If you want to keep the side stripes do them in matt black. Whatever anyone says, do what you want as it’s your motor 😎
😂😂 How did you spray the letters 😂😂.You are crazy man .
Love the Sport Techno wheels!
Nice idea on the plastidip on the chrome - question, does it simply peel off the bodywork, and how did you not pull it off the badges?
Hi mate, just wondering what you did where the side decal overlaps the paint protection film on the back arches? Did you just go over the top of the PPF with the decal? Would you do the same if you did it again? Thanks in advance for your help.
Those floor mats are fantastic. Great video, been watching a lot of your videos, great stuff. I like how you are an owner, not jus some auto journalist who gets to drive every new car then make some video about how every 911 isn’t as good as the GT3, as if we don’t know that already (i hate the GT3 wing). One question, do you still have this 991 or did you sell it to buy the GT3 Targa? Also, since I’m buying my first 911, do you recommend the 991.1 over a 991.2 since pricing is getting close to the same since the .2’s seem to be depreciating more? I know this isn’t an easy question, but my 911 won’t be my daily driver, so i don’t care so much about the tech being a little older…..must admit, it’s a tough decision since the .2’s make more power and torque down low….
I like the vinyl decals !
You thinking of putting a mesh on the front to avoid rocks and leaves entering the condenser?
Sports and super sports mode alter the transmission change time and not the throttle response. Same on the 997
my 991 has the classic wheels but with the grey blacked. also its silver and I have black wrap on roof. also spacers 10mm F and 15mm R
My 991 Turbo S is 100% stock and I am keeping it that way, I see no reason to change anything.
Thats great to know. Thx.
I would put the winter tires on the original Classic wheels and then use the Techno wheels in the summer. Best of both worlds. If I were to stripe it, it would only be in red to match the brake calipers. The de-badging of the rear is nice, but I would leave Porsche in chrome, not sure how long that grey would last. Can take or leave the front spoiler, not that big of a change. The floor mats were pretty cool. ECU for sure.
Love the Car, just not a fan of the decals. If you still have the decal would you consider changing the "PORSCHE" to Red as it will accent the calipers.
Love what you did with the "PORSCHE" in gray on the rear bumper, but in spraying the letters it seemed as you painted the bumper as well How did you clean up the gray plastidip overspray?
One other question, have you considered adding spacers to the wheels? (I have 7mm up front and 15mm in the rear of my 991 4S)
All modifications made it worse - looking best original 👍🏻
nice upgrades, go for mirrors upgrade too
Think I'd have got the porsche decal in red to match your calipers - you're right, those first audi wheels were horrid
*_Perfectly curated mods_*
I love the floor mats but found website hard to understand as far as getting ciorrct mats
Carrera classic wheels look great!
Is there an updated link for the floor mats?
Satch I would paint the calipers yellow to match your side banner.
I Wish we could upgrade the PCM system in the 991. I have a 2013 911 Carrera and could not believe it didn't have a back up camera.
Techno's look the best...personally I would remove the Yellow Porsche lettering and just have the current theme solid grey stripe if anything...but I like "plain" sleepers. Like those mats, and the bucket seats are great - but I would likely drive the car daily and I wouldn't want the hassle (even as a young guy) of damaging the bolsters. Tune is cool.
I’m not a fan of the yellow lettering either.
What remap are you considering? That’s something I would like to do as well.
Looks sharp. I have the same wheels on mine. I just installed the ducktail and sports design front bumper too. Will you be doing this swap as well? I know you did the gt3 front bumper on your last 991.
I’m thinking eventually I will put the sport design front bumper on yes. 👍
Must mods: 1) lowering springs 2) tinted windows 3) stage 1 tune 4) forged wheels (example: BBS FI-R) 5) Aerokit 6) carbon diffusor 7) sport cat 8) PCM delete 9) rear seat delete
Why use a diamond cut wheel with winter tyre? Winter salt will seriously corrode them if there is the slightest stone chop in the laquer.
I am going against the majority of comments and against my usual stance but I like the decals. Maybe it is the 2 colour thing but I think it works. Mine it black.......will have to brush up my photoshop skills and see how it looks lol!
+1 for the Carrera Classics
Sport Techno are the better wheel as they are .5 in wider front and rear than the other 991.1 oem wheels and have most aggressive offset.. They also look great on the rolling shots. The stripe is a bit mehh..
Can you swap the headlights to the full LED ones ? - think they look much cooler and modern
Not entirely sure as I’ve never looked into it, but would look great I agree.
Side vinyl yellow switch to white or color PORSCHE to match calipers (option color).
Wheel spacers to give it an aggressive stance. 15mm all around.
I would go for mat black stripes or dark gray
have a 9114s 2013.... some noise inside of car I can't figure out how to fix ! seat belts case maybe ? help!!!1
me too .... exactly seatbelt case... going to dig and figure out
991.1 or 991.2 and what year is your 911? Thanks!
It’s a 2012 991.1
@@alsatch_ Nice upgrades. Is a ducktail spoiler next on the list?
Says chrome is tacky but has a bright yellow Porsche logo on the side. The yellow matches nothing on the car ?
To match the side decal, paint the calipers yellow, not red!
Yellow calipers to match Porsche side decals!
Thanks for sharing your ideas and progress on your car. Personally I wouldn’t be concerned with what anyone else has to say. It’s your car and that’s all part of owning a “passion” car like a Porsche. If it was supposed to be sensible you would have bought a Toyota and this channel wouldn’t be nearly as entertaining
what year is your porsche
Your Winter wheels look best... classic
Classic Wheels. No sticker
- but that’s just me 😉
I have a 991.1 but I would not change anything on it
Hi, where do you buy the carpeta for 991? Regards
Carpets, sorry
U need colored crests in the wheels
The washer caps pop out.
Chrome badge matches chrome wheels.
Fuchs alloys would be better IMO
Seems pretty expensive trying four sets of wheels. Personally I like the original Carrera S wheels.
Tasteful
Original Wheels
The sticker is tacky and the chrome on black are very classic.
