Read evidence and context
Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Also the look with the factory aerokit changes the looks quite a bit.

Source reports, not a diagnosis or a success probability. Counts refer to discussions and can overlap.
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.

I'd say C4S, but don't see it listed, unless C4 counts?
C4S (in my biased opinion) is still one of the all-time great 'lookers' to come from Porsche. Top 5 easy, top 3 in the right color.
I'd add the following to your poll:
996.2 Carrera 4S
996.1 C2/C4 with aerokit
996.2 C2/C4 with aerokit
You could consider adding 996.2 C4S with aerokit, but they are so unusual that I doubt most people here have ever seen one.
The two 996 variants that look the best in my opinion aren't in your poll (996.2 C4S and 996.1 C2 with factory aerokit).
i am a huge fan of 996s both .1 and .2 and i agree that the C4S is among the best however, i have been on a quest to making the best of all of the 996s. Here are the pieces...
.1 base car
.1 Aero - front bumper, skirts and wing (love taco)
.2 Rear bumper and bumperettes
.2 GT3 splitter
.2 GT3 Wheels
amber ectomy
This combination beats even the C4S for me.

Missing the C4S in here. Also the look with the factory aerokit changes the looks quite a bit. Especially with the 996.1 C2, which I think looks amazing with the factory aerokit.
