FWIW, I will crawl under the car later to check on any stamping/marking on the back side of the rims.

Got bit by the bug back in 07 but had to delay/postpone getting a P-car till now. Finally found one: 02 996 C2 cab (Arctic Silver with Metropol Blue interior), tip, well optioned from the factory plus a few aftermarket goodies.
Seller (who manages a speed shop) also modded the exhaust and airbox for free plus service credits for future work at their shop.
Enough with the chatter, on to the pics (want to be on the good side of the pic ho's)
Very nice car. I have always liked the arctic silver/Metropolitan blue combination on the 996. I wanted one myself. What kind of exhaust is on it? Enjoy.
I was ambivalent about them earlier but getting to like them more. Black was my preference but this shade of blue actually looks MORE black most of the time
Future service credits was indeed icing on the cake.
Finalized purchase 2 weeks ago but had to take a trip overseas so I delayed delivery of the car. Flew in to LAX last 26DEC and seller offered to pick me up at the airport to officially hand over the car to me. The 120-mile drive home was pure bliss and I am still grinning ear-to-ear.
I am predominantly a motorcycle guy (I have a Hayabusa which feeds my need for speed) so I can appreciate handling and acceleration. This car did not disappoint
very pleasantly surprised at how quickly it gets to "oh shat" speeds
I concur
The seller's shop did their in-house version of Fister D's mod to the factory exhaust....no drone in the cab, not incessant, nice snarl when I hit the GO PEDAL.
THANKS ALL for the welcome and compliments.
Thanks. The seller advertised the rims as "
19-inch MonoForged
" but I have been unsuccessful with Google to get more info about it. Was actually hoping that someone would recognize it.
FWIW, I will crawl under the car later to check on any stamping/marking on the back side of the rims.
Nice find. Love the wheels. Gen 1 996's are the best value for performance dollar right now. It seems like the greater Porsche community is starting to see them for what they are - another incremental improvement to the 911 bloodline.
This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
