Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Hello Rennlist Community!
I've been lurking for a few weeks, since I bought my 1999 911 Carrera Cabriolet (Ocean Blue Metallic!). I have to say, this board is a great resource, so thanks to everyone who has posted useful info here.
I didn't find Rennlist until after I bought my Porsche, which is bad, and good. Bad, because I didn't get a PPI. Good, I suppose, because if I HAD read this board extensively, I doubt I'd have purchased the car at all
Just had a POST purchase inspection, and no major issues. The car has 50,000 miles, basically stock (with hardtop). Needs a rear window now, brakes soonish, tires soonish, a clutch eventually.
I have LOTS of questions that I haven't found in my searches. But first, pictures...

LOL - since we have opted to go down THAT road - clears and amberectomy for sure... then fix that paint that the PO looks like he drove it thru the automatic car washes
- this is one that would benefit from body color bumperetts in the rear too - then we will talk "ride height"
Zaino is good on the dark colors
hold on to your wallet.... we like to spend YOUR money !
Cabs? who likes Cabs?
Black WOW is a great dressing for your bumperettes....

Welcome......I like the name Frisbee. Reminds me of some British Chap with a stogie hanging out of his mouth. Eh' llo Frisbee.
Nice car..change out those side markers.
Nice car. That's my new 99 in the pic. right now it's on the truck hearing north from Florida to Toronto. I loved the Bumperplug web site lots of great idea's.
How you swap out the old cassette holders for cd holders?
Thanks and enjoy your new ride.

First mod complete! Received my replacement tray for the cassette storage thing from Bumperplugs today. To remove the cassette thing, you just pull it straight out! Easy as pie. Pushed the new tray into place. 30 second swap, and now my console isn't embarrassing to look at.
Anyone with a Culture Club cassette collection want to buy a cassette holder? (kidding!)
This is a common afliction slow drivers have since their slowly driven cars give people a good look and shot at them.
You might find more important than a PPI is to pay off the hwy patrol first then hit the road.
Nice and clean headlights. I wish mine were that nice
Best to have a grit gaurd screen for your wash bucket and microfiber mit. Then have a seperate bucket and mit for doing the lower portion of the car. Saves the paint job that way. Real nice looking car.
it's one of those topics that just strikes up conversation easy... the amber lights. Really its great because it starts people talking and rather the owners opt to switch or had no idea about the clears, amber lights are responsible for many many great friendship starts !!
and maybe 1 or 2 break ups
Yes... Like amberectomies... You want me to burn what with what??? And that's okay??? ($1,500 or so risk if you screw it up...)
+++1 on the friendship comment!

Congrats. Where are you in Delaware? I just moved from Hockessin to Chadds Ford. The Delaware PCA club meets up a lot in Hockessin in the Lantana shopping center, fyi. They have a website with events, that you can search on google for.
I just sold my 99 Coupe Aero, as I was going into temporary housing over the winter with no garage, and had a lot of other things going on, but regret the sale a bit now. I am already back in the market for another 996. I love the look of the Aero, the rush of a Turbo, and love the feel of a Cab, so I am not sure at the moment which way I am leaning.
Anyway, just wanted to mention the DE PCA and say congrats. Looks very nice.

The new tray was $36 from Bumperplugs, plus shipping. It replaces the cassette holder (or CD I think). Now I have more space for phone, glasses, etc. (see pic.)
What did you pay for the windscreen? Does anyone besides Porsche make one for the 996?
Well, I spent about 6 hours washing, claying, waxing, appling back-to-black, interior cleaning and detailing, etc. on Sunday, and ZERO hours on yardwork. My wife is not too happy (thinks I'm nuts), but the car looks good
. Now I've found all the small scratches and chips I didn't know about before.
Used Zymol wax, and it did a nice job on the dark paint. After it's gone, I'll probably order and try some Zaino. I also used Meguiars leather cleaner and treatment, and I like the way that turned out on the seats.
Also put on a new "Carrera" logo on the back, since the old one was broken. The old adhesive was a PITA to remove!
Only had time for a garage photo...
seriouosly, the paint looks WAY better !!!!
nice job!
OH - and just go ahead and tell the wife you are nuts... saves a lot of guessing!
frequent trips to the garage to peek and make sure it is still yours are common and do not go away over time!
Wow that's awesome! I've gotta do that too.
I found the windscreen on ebay and paid $250.00 for it plus shipping. It's not here yet but seller advised it's perfect condition. I've seen them sold new anywhere from $600 - $800.00.
