Porsche 991 Mods - My First 7 Modifications (and mainly cheap) on this 2012 Porsche 991 Carrera S. Most of these mods are fairly easy to do yourself, but some you might need the help of a mate, or a specialist.
Ill be doing another video on the cheap porsche 991 modifications when I get round to doing them.

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.

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.

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.

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.

@sm308racing4 3 жыл бұрын

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.

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.

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.

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.

@moviebod 3 жыл бұрын

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.

@docj5031 2 жыл бұрын

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)

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.

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!

@omarg6022 3 жыл бұрын

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.

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 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.
