I would also recommend the Element fire extinguisher (or a traditional one) for a just in case. I used a traditional one for years and just purchased two Elements E50's to carry with me now.
Things I wish I had been told when I bought my first 911 a few decades ago:
Head studs (broken or replacement "before" broken)
Fuel lines (replace!)
"Triangle of death" oil leaks (look bad but easy fix)
and...different relays for lights, dash lights, etc.
My 911's are both 86 models so yours may not have same "issues" but knowledge is power and as I stated, just wish I had known about a few of these things and would have addressed them early on.
I too went with the Carmagic Vintage bulbs...the best upgrade was the turn signal replacements, very bright at night, but perfect in the daytime. Was actually pulled over for my turn signal being on for miles and I had no idea (driving into the sun/west Texas). No ticket and when I got home from my cross country immediately ordered the bulb kit.
It's a great forum, sometimes very direct, but with the forum and a few manuals, decades later, I now drop engines, fix electrical issues and next is a full engine rebuild.
This coming from a guy who changed a few belts, did basic oil changes, and kept tire pressure full
