Don't give away all my secrets.

In all seriousness, my (rough) plan is to:
- stiffen and sound deaden the parcel shelf & backseat seat back
- apply sound deadening to the wheel wells...on the outside
- look more into the sonderworks sound pad for th engine bay...or duplicate it myself for <$300
- seal up the holes in the 'firewall' between the dash and trunk
- replace all window seals, felts, etc
- 993 windscreen & seals to reduce wind noise

- stiffen the chassis to improve suspension actuation
- fancy adjustable shocks/coilovers for improved ride quality without sacrificing handling
- install black 'pillows' in my WEVO mounts to decrease NVH
- replace polybronze bushings with RSR sphericals to stop creaking/groaning/general frustration
- judiciously remove weight to offset what'll be gained from above
