From a Z to and S!
nice ride!...cops fear this car according to someone's collected data http://editorial.autos.msn.com/cars-...d=autos_2455#8
only one thats not been modded right haha. Wheels are ordered, possibly an exhaust at some point, dont think I will ever lower it. Paint the fog lights, side intake, and front lip black to give it some contrast. Loving it so far. Such a fun car to drive, and it only cost me as much as a new loaded civic.

The Cayman is a well balanced car, i've driven many of them.
If you decide to do anything with the suspension, H&R springs for the Cayman are excellent. You will not be disappointed!
Don't bother wasting your money on an exhaust. They are expensive, and don't really provide any gains unless you do headers with it, which just adds more cost. The Cayman's exhaust already flows extremely well.
Those 19" wheels that are on the car are very well made. Unless you ordered something like BBS or better, it will be a downgrade.
Also, did you buy your Porsche from a dealer and got the extended factory warranty? Porsche backs their stuff up 100%, as long as you don't do any mods to the car.
One more thing... When it comes time to replace the tires, stick with Porsche's N rated tires. Porsche spent thousands of hours of R&D to pick tires that meet their overall standards of performance, such as wet and dry braking, handling, etc. If they don't meet their standards, then they will not earn an N rating.

6-speed, CPO Warranty till 2014 Fabspeed exhaust shows good gains, Porsche exhaust does flow well except for at the tips - exhaust has two pipes flowing into one against each other where there should be a y-pipe. Might just replace the tip and that y-section. The tires on it are Bridgestone RE90s which I hate and dont get any mileage from them. Probably will go with Hancook Ventus V12s next time around, or Nitto Invos, had very good results from those in the past without spending a ton of money. The wheels are Forgestar F14s Flow formed, light weight 19s. Same as on this BMW Brushed finish with black windows. Very well made wheels from what I've been told and seen. Voted

New wheels got here a week or so ago.
I know it probably needs to be lowered about .5-1in but I'm probably not going to screw with that, really don't want to mess up the ride of the car. Coilovers would solve that but dont feel like spending $1600 bucks for that either.

That is one of my dream cars, I freaking love the Cayman. Unfortunately, I think I like the stock wheels more than the new ones 
As for an exhaust, I think the majority of it's value on a car like this lies in making the car sound even more awesome
