The more you ask, the more you read, the more you know. Mod bug alert.
Get a nice exhaust as mentioned. Fast Intentions, Motordyne, Invidia, etc. there's a bunch but I'd go with the top two I mentioned. Enjoy your time here.

Happy Birthday and nice gift to self.

Edit: forgot to mention, excellent color choice.

Wheel spacers have been a Porsche thing for a while. As mentioned, google them and you can get some great info. on them. Basically, they will bring your tires out closer to your fender openings and give your car a broader more muscular stance. In person it will surprise you how much it will change/improve the look of your car.

Good modding.

Got my order from Zaino's yesterday, so I spent the afternoon getting her cleaned up. Removing the dealer stuff was the first step.

Grats!

FI exhausts are very popular..not only because of the quality..but they look good (love the tips) and really work with you to get exactly what you want... (but you are looking @ 8-10 weeks until it arrives..and then you have to either install it yourself or get it installed (Should only be 1 hour shop time max..so whatever they charge 85-100 bucks an hour).

Now if you have an idea how loud you want to go, it opens up other options... Remember, you do not have to buy new..especially with an exhaust... I found an Ark Grip exhaust here on the forums for much less than a new one (any brand) would cost.... and also cat-back exhausts do not void the warranty.
