I had the side markers replaced a few weeks ago after learning of it and seeing the difference on this site.

Niagara plastics does not have the cap serial number available using their web search.
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.

Welcome aboard. Great looking car. Looks like it was optioned nicely. Those are some great pics as well. Make sure and change out the side markers with the pumpkinectomy mod.
ls911 - OK, so we have had some fun with you. Welcome to Rennlist. It is customary for "newbies" to introduce themselves, tell us a little about their car and to post a couple of pics of the car, because we LOVE pics! So now comes my usual and customary "newbie initiation" comment:
Come on "newbie," post the !@#$%^&* pics!
< Tim whispers so only ls911 can hear > The other guys make me do this to all the "newbies!" If I don't do it, they won't let me stay here. < Tim stops whispering >
We are just having a little fun with you, no malice intended!
Once again, welcome to the Porsche Phunny Pharm.
Ok gents, you all got me good. I must admit I have been enjoying all the comments and feedback.
I Just bought a 2001 996 about a month ago. It has been very well taken care of (Seattle area). I am the second owner, 12,200 miles, PSM, 6spd, sport seats, white dials/alum. trim. I
USED
to be a big corvette fan (owned 3 of them) but I always had an interest in the 911. I made the big move on one and it is better than I could have ever imagined. Now I am addicted and can't stop reading, researching, cleaning and driving it.
This took me to the orange cap subject. I probably should just get the fabspeed and call it good. Niagara plastics does not have the cap serial number available using their web search. Seems like the cap and fabspeed do the same thing (?) I am looking for just a bit more sound and thought this might do the trick. It's probably the start of an adiction
Great looking car. Welcome!
Dell, you were correct onm the pumpkins!
ls911... you will be modding your car a lot if you are going to habg out with this crowd. First suggestion... change out the orange side markers and put some clear ones on.
Welcome again.
Appreciate all the compliments.
I had the side markers replaced a few weeks ago after learning of it and seeing the difference on this site. A cheap change that made a big difference, cleaner look.
As far as mods go I am open to them and any of your suggestions. I will do more as time and $ allows. For now it is stored for most of the winter (downside of Spokane living)
Glad to be part of this great site
Thanks again
ls911 - Great l@@king p-car! Thanks for sharing the pics and the info about the car. Before you do the "orange cap" mod, do another "orange" mod, as Dutchie said, and "harvest those pumpkins," and replace them with clear side markers.
The orange cap mod is not really that great, it only adds noticeable sound at WOT (wide open throttle) but it is easy and cheap.
Here are a few additional ideas on some mods to help you with the addiction!
o B&M Short Shifter.
o Aluminum Gauge Rings.
o Aluminum Pedals.
o Garage Door Opener Switch installed in Horseshoe.
o Paint the Brake Calipers Red.
o Paint "top hats" Silver.
o Increase your remote key fob range with the antenna DYI.
o Stock mufflers to PSE mod.
I took note of all those suggestions and will look into them. How do you go about installing the garage opener? is it a DIY?
What are the "top hats"
Thanks
Ludwig
Great cost effective improvements, I will work on them this winter starting with the garage opener. Your 996 looks great, I'm surprised it's for sale, unless your are upgrading.
Very helpfull tips/mods
Im all over it
Thanks again Tim
This Is911 (more like Was911) newb got an 01 996 in 07? And now he's acting like he owns the 996 forum. You can now go on your rampage like a girl while I go shopping for a car or two. Oh, I have an orage cap I found in my neighbor's garage, if you still need it. It's a little chewed up by a rodent of some type, but useable. I'll be glad to send it to you if you pay the S & H.
Yeah, you may start today's chore of writing posts in here so you can meet your daily quota
Pumkins are removed!!! Fabspeed hose in place.Thanks for the kind offer JJ. Shame the rodents chewed up your cap, must suck to live around them.
JJ, I love your stuff..lollollol
Strangely, the habitat of these rodents like raccoons, possums, or some mammals like deers happen to be high up in the hills in the bushy areas like North of Beverly Hills above Sunset, Bel Air, Malibu neighborhoods with home values in the multi-millions. Once in a while, they do chew up what-could-have-been-free your orange cap, but no it doesn't suck living around them.
You're a high roller, you are, it's ok
My bad for bringing back that last thread, it's just such a classic, I undertand you closing it and reaching back for something, anything....lol
This has all been way to easy and predictable, I do feel sligtly guilty.
Will leave it alone now...
Best of luck with your new car JJ
So... who's going to start with the keyboard warrior threats? (I have an idea who) I've kinda watched this grow into a multi thread dispute..... Somewhere, at some point in time, this is going to get ugly.
No worries Eharrison, have never and will never threaten anyone, not my thing at all.
Yes I admit I made some fun of him and his threads (I did know he would go off on me) but that is as far as I'll go.
I do agree this is now old news and I'm done with it.
I do not like closing threads for several reasons, if need be or requested I will do so.
ls, seriously consider getting those rear strakes to complete the kit. it gives that narrowbody rear some additional width that i think looks fantastic.
as for the battle between JJB and ls.... dude guys seriously you both sound like cool guys so let's try to make up. can't believe i'm the one trying to put some water on the flame.
why not start over and start from scratch? there are too many nerds in here so keeping the cool kids playing in the sandbox together well is my interest.
Will consider it BC, I have to see them up close and personal.
By pictures they seem to look stuck on with glue, like an after thought or something. Will keep my eyes open for a 996 that has them.
The JJ thing got a bit overblown, no real battle in my eyes, just a little poke and fun.
I will stop as I've previously stated, probably most are sick of reading about it.
I was very surprised on what you wrote
You must not be completely off the meds, right?
Well...done with my work and rennlisting for now the Zags are on shortly
Oh well, then I'll have to watch Amerian Idol then for the cat fights....
FYI, I stayed at the Davenport Hotel in Spokane in December. What a hotel! I like your town too. I hope I'll head up there again and enjoy more of it. So where are the good bars downtown?
Yes, a great hotel it is, built it by Kirkland Cutter, famous architect.
I am a bit out of the bar scene now but know of great restaurants with nice lounge spots in both Spokane and Coeur D Alene.
If you make it this way again feel free to PM me. I'll be glad to buy you a drink and get you the info you need.
I will suggest to you another great place to stay, The CDA resort, ID.
Top notch lakeside resort that has won many awards.
In the summer time Coeur D Alene is the place to be
An easy 40-45minute drive to downtown Spokane, no real traffic.
Comparable rates to the Davenport.
Regardless were you stay, a visit there should be on your list
