I own a '04 C4S Silver, Black Int. Just purchased last year. Have enjoyed the car very much. Am looking now to add some fixins... 2 questions here.
1) Live in Bay Area (Peninsula, San Mateo County) and need a recommendation on quality shops in area. Looking to first do ECU/remapping then maybe a body addition (rear wing potentially). I've seen Sharkwerks at a couple of car shows locally. Please give me your recommendations. They will go farther in my book than seeing a company at a show.
2) any recommended mods?? Like i said, first will be ECU/remapping. Then maybe a rear wing, maybe.. here is what the car has so far:
Arctic Silver Exterior with Black Full Leather Interior
Recently Serviced @ 61,000 miles new spark plugs, belt, ect.
New 19" Rodrick wheels shown in pictures with new Hankook tires (245/35/19 Front - 295/35/19 Rear)
Litronic Head lights
Navigation with Multi Disc CD Changer
new porsche carbon fiber shifter ***
new aluminum door handles to match aluminum center console
painted yellow (all four) brake calipers
new front silver porsche emblem on hood
new clutch installed 10/09/13 along with recently upgraded IMS oil lubricating kit ($1,799)/ 10/09/13
brand new aluminium pedals
new porsche floor mats
Brand new GT2 front bumper with black mess in air intakes
Push button exhaust option
Rennline strut tower braces front and Genuine Porsche Sun Guard Visor.
Thanks for any and all recommendations!

Before even thinking about modifications, you should be looking to strengthen the foundation; IMS/RMS updates, spin on oil filter, 160F thermostat, magnetic drain plug and FilterMag. Adding a third radiator is also a good add on.
Do your homework before re-flashing the DME, several of the highly advertised systems, while fairly expensive, add minimal power and often then only near the top end of the RPM scale. When you read between the lines of their promotional materials, you find very modest gains on vehicles with a lot of other modifications (headers, exhaust systems, intake modifications, etc.), which means you are only going to see the claimed modest gains if you have already done all the other stuff first.
A lot of Porsche aftermarket vendors make big claims that ultimately cannot be substantiated on a dyno.
