Mods?? Got my C6 yesterday, it's not stock
hey guys, I'm new here so expect many threads for a while as I try to learn more about the C6 and more specifically, my car.
what i know so far...
Some of the notable (good or bad) RPO codes:
AAB (memory)
AQ9 (sport seats)
FE1 (non-performance suspension)
GM8 (not the performance axle)
UV6 (hud)
U65 (bose)
3LT
*Well taken care of 2006 Base 3LT
*Paddle shift
*2-Owner (2nd owner had this car since 2008)
*Paint is immaculate, car is clean
*Wheels are replica's (of the originals??)
*Had worn Michelin Pilots (until today when i put Continentals on...I'm not loaded, sorry)
Mods: (that were already on the car)
Corsa exhaust
Halltech air intake
Quality window tint
The previous owner appears to have taken VERY good care of this car, and also had the money to trick it out a little
So...with the condition of the car and the couple of performance mod's listed...what other things/mods should i look for? any hidden gems i should look for?

Nothing modded on the outside that I can see other than the exhaust tips which you already know about. Post some interior pictures.
The center caps on the wheels should have the C6 logo on them.

i guess i was just wondering what a person might "typically" mod if they also did an intake and exhaust on a C6... bolt-on stuff that i could visually see without a lot of digging.

I already noticed the wheels are replica's of the factory wheels (that made me laugh...maybe the chrome peeled or he had a little too much curb rash for his liking). i never even thought to look at headers...it's not a mod I ever consider for my cars so I never even thought to look!!! i will put that on my to-do list

its VERY clean under the hood.....
the headlamp covers have that weathered finish (so i assume they are the originals) so I don't think there was any front end trauma...the carfax is clean, no accidents on it and the interior seems solid (nothing loose, no rattles).

Dry climate means not much chance of rust or moisture damage and never salt on the roads. My 05 looked identical to your when I got it in 2010. I'll post some pics of it now. Maybe you can get some appearance ideas.

C6 of Year Finalist (performance mods) 2019
80xxx miles. i do have a history report and the small amount of service was professional and documented. Other than scheduled maintenance and fluid changes, there was "exhaust and suspension" work performed at a Porsche dealer that seemed to stick out as reputable.
