>So, suggestions on changes: polish the Fuch paddles? S front bumper? Lose the trim bits? Duck-tail? 911 mirrors?

- Mirrors, ditto, please ;-)
- Raise the car (enjoy the new found comfort and handling) - that rear camber looks evil !
- S front bumpers are either $$$ $ if real, or fiberglass of varying quality and that offer no accident protection. I like the looks of the original one you have, leave as is or close the fog light openings ($40+ on ebay - good luck matching the paint ;-) You can add bumperettes if that is your thing....
- Trim is incorrect and yes, holes galore behind it... so you can either go down a size (early trim is skinnier), but honestly bending the trim to match the bumpers is a BI@T$h of a job - I'd suggest going the other route since it's no museum piece, leave the later trim and put black grills (72/73 style), much cheaper that way...
- Euro headlights, too - it'll look great !

>like the idea of running minilights / superlights on it, but where can we find a set that will fit Porsche spacing?

Stick to 15" max, and don't go nuts on tires, 195 is plenty, 205 tops (and then again not on all cars, some fit, some rub)

Other than that, I'd say replace all the suspension bushings, most likely the engine and tranny bushings, and enjoy what it probably the most comfortable, balanced and yet "tossable" 911 out there... ehh, 912, but you know what I mean !
