FRIGGIN WING! I feel like a poser in a Pontiac.
I _know_ the stock TT "aerokit" could have been designed with a retractible spoiler just like the NA 997/S.
For Porsche to put a decorative wing on the car really is embarassing to me.
Someone please correct me if I'm wrong. Need proof that the TT NEEDS that uglya** wing.
(sorry: bad mood)

I dislikeD the stock wheels the most, over the crappy exhaust sound, over the soft handling, over the turbo lag.
All of which are now fixed for 100% enjoyment
Never had an issue with the Turbo clutch and I came from a C2S too.

I hate the fact that the homelink (aka garage door opener) does not work when the car is off, which means that you have to either (a) open the garage door before you get in the car or (b) start the car before you open the garage door.

The way the keyfob opens the front trunk just by looking at it.
The way the motor races on startup sometimes.
Fugly rims.

While we're at it..., Lemme show you this thing I did. I "hated" the exhaust styling and was thinking of customizing to get back to basics something like this comp photo.
Keep in mind the photoshop skills I have suk. Would look cleaned up somehow in reality; some nice trim piece with a round hole?
Nevertheless, I like the simple dual tips: classic and un-fabulous.

Slatty, venty, wingy.
I knew the only way I could tolerate buying and owning the car would be if I ordered it in a DARK color to downplay all the stuff going on.
Here's an excellent comp for illustrating this point:

MMD,
My 2 cents: Sorry but they both look very busy still -- even stressful. I am surprised, as much as the slats bother you, that your car still has the stock Turbo wheels. I used to think the Turbo's hopelessly busy look could not be corrected, until I changed the wheels.
IMO, the wheels, *alone*, account for 95% of the Turbo's busy look. Just count: there are 10 slats, AND 15 little bars on each wheel. 40 slats, 60 little bars per car; that's a lot of bars and slats!
