I'm not a fan of the lights or the reflector or of Tim changing his handle (Is that even possible anymore?), but I do have a mac and I could see the image fine (in Safari)

I actually started a thread and asked for opinions on changing LVDell to NCDell but the choice was made clear by my constituents to keep LVDell.

Coverage and how to read this overview

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.

24 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

  • Rennlist: 1 discussions

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

Generation: 20261026T150451Z · outcome-qualification-6. Deterministic extraction; no AI model inference. How we use sources

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

The 2009 model year of the 997 C4/C4S has a reflector on the rear deck lid. I know that many of you liked the reflector on the 996 C4/C4S and bemoned the demise of the reflector on the initial 997 models. Just curious to hear what you guys think of the new reflector?

POST 2Original post

I'm not sure I love the new taillights but they will probably grow on me. I do like the rear reflector, makes it look like a Porsche!

POST 3Original post

I hate the new droopy tail lights and the red reflector looks like it shouldn't be there.

POST 4Original post

Are y'all able to see the "attached image"? I get nothing.

POST 5Original post

I liked it on my 79'SC coupe...but not so much as pictured on the 997.

At least I've "got a 911" to go with my Mac! (From one Tim to another)

POST 11Original post

Tim, you gonna change your userID? BTW, here's what it looks like on my screen right now. I've never seen problems like this on Rennlist. No pics showing up today. Some avatars are missing (blue box with question mark in it), PM down for several hours. Damn! Makes you really appreciate the hard work that John and Jenn put into RL when they owned the site.

POST 12Original post

Im with you on this... Ive been getting this for a couple of days now. Been really flakey... database errors, slow, missing attached pics.... and to many blown engine threads (when I finally attached to the server, that is)

POST 13Original post

I can say that I do NOT plan to renew my membership when my current 2-yr term expires. I think I still have 1.5 years left on this term but if things don't get SIGNIFICANTLY better then I don't see the utility of supporting the site monetarily.

POST 14Original post

I loved it on the 996 and on the older models as well. Not sure it really seems to be a good fit with the 997 MK2. It might grow on me, but it just looks "a bit much" for some reason on this car whereas it looked completely natural on all previous models.

POST 15Original post

something ain't right. Needs more end to end linear lines to make it look wider instead of the new tail lamp shape.

No, I am not going to change my user ID!!!!! Why should I????... you didn't when you moved to NC. BTW, nice car you recently got. I don't know much about them but I'll bet it is awesome on the track. DO you miss teh GT3 much?

I actually started a thread and asked for opinions on changing LVDell to NCDell but the choice was made clear by my constituents to keep LVDell. Maybe start a poll? Ah hell, I'll get it going. Thanks, I have my first test with it this weekend. Full report to follow. Does a bear **** in the woods?

POST 20Original post

The consensus over on the 997 forum is that we don't care for it. Some are even talking about putting the 2wd deck lids on their 4s. It will clearly date the 997 Carrera 4 cars from 2006 through 2008. It's all purely cosmetic, and the rear sag in the tail lights just doesn't work for me. Sadly, it's a sign of Zuffenhausen learning a few things from Detroit--like how to date a car quickly from year to year. One would think getting the DI engine would be good enough!

POST 21Original post

the new reflector is to thin... if you gonna put one in... PUT ONE IN! it just doesnt work with the tear drop brake lights....looks like an after thought and half assed it....

POST 22Original post

I'm not a fan of the lights or the reflector or of Tim changing his handle (Is that even possible anymore?), but I do have a mac and I could see the image fine (in Safari)

POST 23Original post

+1. Droopy tail lights and too thin reflector = fail! On a mac too. No images with firefox, but all okay with safari. IB is f#%king up this site.

POST 24Original post

since I wrote this now it seems it's totally random what I can and can't see whether safari or firefox (and I even tried it in internet explorer on VMware) Sometimes it's an avatar, sometimes it's attachments, sometimes instead of pics I get a list of attachments, which then sometimes work an sometimes just pop up a blank window. And I am on HIGH speed internet 50+MB/S Where do we paying rennlist members send our constructive criticism now? (a similar going to the dogs period occurred when a buddy of mine sold his forum to IB last year)
