I "sent the check" on this car about a month ago - but due to travel schedule and shipping time...

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 "sent the check" on this car about a month ago - but due to travel schedule and shipping time... just took delivery earlier this week. It was a LONG wait.
bought the car from private party in Oklahoma and it was shipped to Vegas.
The car has Fabspeed headers and exhaust (not mentioned by seller).
I don't have the window sticker - so it's hard to tell what option "999 Special Instructions" is.... one of the guys I know at the local dealer thinks it is the coco brown alcantera headliner.
plans for the car:
1) IMS retrofit
2) remove clear bra + paint correction and detail + reapply full clear bra
3) ceramic tint
4) GT3 Console Delete
Oh my, that's a keeper. WOW! Absolutely love the interior. Barn996 has something similar where several black pieces break up the tan. He has a black steering wheel also, which would look good on your car. Get some guards red bumperettes for the rear from Bumper Plugs.
Love the painted front lip and side skirts too - I need to do that to my car.
Congrats and welcome! Don't be a stranger. That's a very special car!
thanks!
I am gonna leave the bumperettes black for now - I like the contrast. I am going to get those plugs in front bumper for license plate bracket painted red.
perhaps the "999 special instructions" were to have the lip and skirts painted to match body color.
Forum member on Pelican Parts sent me the attached "996's produced and sold as 2005's", as info.

I also have a 2005 996 C4S. Built in July 2004. Sold as a 2005.
That's the OE aerokit spoiler. I know that Suncoast Parts used to sell the complete aerokit, but I'm not sure if they do anymore. It is quite expensive.
mine is the XAH.... not sure if they can be purchased now... was told when new the option was over 7k
per the link below: There were four factory aerokits
XAA - Aerokit Cup (this is what everybody calls the 996 aero)
XAE - "Carrera" Aerokit (much rarer in the US, a little more common in the UK)
XAF - Turbo Aerokit
XAH - Carrera 4S Aerokit

Suncoast still shows it as being available for sale on their website, for $7,995 (a 24.56% savings!).

so, after more research - I found out what the "999 special instructions" are on my C4S
it is: "interior monitoring sensor, cars with colour to choice leather interior"
but what the heck is the "interior monitoring system"

THANKS for your friendly tip Gbug
but, strangley, my car is 2005 996, but all of the manuals in my glove are for a 2005 997..... so it makes it hard to just read my manual.
have a nice night
hahaha... Helluva deal right there friends! And, as a courtesy, the kit comes unpainted so that you can make sure it's professional color matched to the perfect shade of Guards Red.
Sorry if you took offense, my comment was all in good fun.
The interior sensor you are referring to is part of the security system, i.e. motion detector that activates when you lock the car. Not sure if all 996s have this feature, but my C4S does as well. FYI, If you don't want to activate the interior sensor when you lock the car, lock it twice in quick succession from the remote.
no worries, thanks for the info, a buddy on the east coast had an old set of 996 manuals - from a 2003, but should be more similar at least than my 997 manuals.
cheers
