Thanks everyone 
I'll eventually do some basic stuff to it (suspension/wheels/exhaust) but ill wait until I start getting bored. There's not too many around, so there's less urgency to mod it (my S was molested before the plates even arrived).
My other choices included 97+ NSXs or a used Cayman S. I've always wanted an NSX but I don't want to spend ~$40K on a 12 year old car. The Cayman S was my first choice, with so many used '06 and '07 models available. The problem was most of them have warranties that are about to expire, and CPO examples command a hefty premium.

To the OP,
paint your kidney grills flat black.. like i did today!! ==D
rpi hood scoop, afe intake stage 2 + ess software, e46 m3 headers, full exhaust and if we're lucky we can have a healthy 300whp.
supposedly rpi hood scoop, afe intake + software is dyno proven 22whp gain. =P just fyi
