I'll tell you, I bought my 997TT with 900 miles on it from a dealer. The carbon fiber trim was one of the things that prompted me to buy the car. If the car had not had it - or if I had been purchasing from a private seller who had added it aftermarket - I might not have purchased the car. Just something to think about. Factory carbon was a big selling point for me.
Most enthusiasts like to do their own mods. That is why it is hard to recuperate money spent on modifications on resale. The buyers who appreciate the modifications want a stock model so that they can do their own.
Sounds exciting! Good luck with the project.

It is a TTS so adding the little upgrades should hopefully make difference.

Anyone have an opinion of the Fabspeed vs Cargraphic bypass pipes?

This post is now making me want to go all out and do the CF. I think I would rather do the CF then new wheels since finding a good pair that will look good on the Caynne is hard enough and I might as well do the exhaust and engine upgrades since you can never have enough power.

The only mod that you might see some return on when you sell the car is a nice set of wheels. You won't get your money back on any other mods. Trust me. I have been through this with several cars.
Are you looking at after-market carbon or is it from the factory? If it is from the factory, I think that it could help with resale. Aftermarket stuff would not.

If you are looking at any modifications from a resale perspective, you will never get your money back.
