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 know a lot of 996 drivers/owners don't much care for this mod...but I have to say..it looks damn good on a black P.....
Eventhough I just bought all upgrade parts to make the P look like a post '02 with turbo bumper....
But check out the movie (just 5secs) but on stills it just doesn't look right!

and Riad mine isn't as nice as yours YET, but I am working on it....love your rear bumper, which is my next mod...or maybe the sport exhausts!! Or.....it just never stops..I should have bought a 2002 and all would have been done already..this is just more fun! I think!
The link to the video is still not working. Either there is something wrong with the AVI file or your website is not configured correctly for the AVI MIME type.
I got it to work, you have to download a DivX codec.
Nicolaas,
What I really like about the 911's is that your rarely see two exactly alike. Most people put their own personal touches on, but never really go "Civic" with the mods.
I'm waiting until my car is out of warranty before I SC her.

Your car is really done riad..wide body...and the turbo/c4s front and rear and red calipers, the only thing you can change is the rims (but only if you are sick of them after a couple of years)
When I bought mine, there were a couple of things I wasn't happy about, like the calipers and the cheap plastic look inside ('99 models had graphite black/grey..whatever you call it) so I HAD to change it.....nad I never liked the 996 front (early models)..so now I found a good deal in the turbo front and just went for it...just found out that my wife arranged for it to get lowered tomorrow...very happy with that too!!
Next time I just spend the money upfront and buy a newer one! this was my first porsche in 10 years and I didn't know that I was going to like it this much!!!
My 2001 C4 had graphite grey interior with the shinny black buttons - really a bad choice by Porsche. The MY2002+ was much improved interior - at least Porsche listens to it's customers.
I would like to go lighter, nicer rims (take off some unsprung weight) and possibly a Supercharger so the cars a bit quicker, however, I don't track this car, and I don't push it to it's limits now it all depends on whether or not I have extra money burning a hole in my pocket.
Rob
burn the hole.....SC sounds pretty good, just for the extra push in the back by take off....I hate the shiny black button too...I should replace those too...ah a new mod project! I like you rims they go with the car....but then again you have seen them for a while now!!
The link works fine...on my mac, just have to wait for the download. What is that square ugly thing next to the P-car...just kidding. I have gone back and forth on this mod. It's the Strosek one? Not really sure. Thanks for ther pic though.
yes a square ugly japanese thing..but I haul the whole world in that thing! I am a photographer and like to get my hands dirty by building my own sets...and with that Element I don't really care about scratching up the interior! BUT this said...within the next couple of months.....I will give it the boot for something even more square, just bigger: Hummer H2
No, I don't because my '04 already has the matte finish on the buttons. You should be able to get it in the paint department at any hardware store like Lowe's or Home Depot.
I should be able to buy those new buttons from Porsche ..... at 50 bucks a button.....next time I should just put more into the car when i buy it, instead of keeping myself busy with mods.
