These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

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.

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

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.

I'd like to hear what others are adding! -feeling like a kid at xmas

POST 3Original post

Wow lots of mods on your car. Love the rims. How about some pictures of the front bumper please. Is it nose heavy looking ? I'm wondering if it needs a tail to make it have a balanced look ?

POST 4Original post

You forgot to mention smoke side marker lenses. :-). Seriously looks very nice. I have a GT2 front end as well, really like it the more I look at it. Welcome to the fray! 2003 Carrera 4S Speed Yellow / 1955 356 Continental 1500 Rust Red

Front bumper. Should mention seller took off the lower portion as it was scraping ground all the time. Car was also lowered couple inches.

POST 6Original post

Looks like right headlight was replaced somewhere along the line. I too removed the front valence, scraping everything, it was shot. 2003 Carrera 4S Speed Yellow / 1955 356 Continental 1500 Rust Red

Good catch! Car immediately went to my mechanic who is doing coolant, brake fluid as well as replacing that right headlight.

POST 8Original post

You could try one of those three step sanding kits to restore that headlight. I did mine and they look brand new. Save you $1000 (or whatever they charge for a headlight...)

POST 9Original post

Congratulations. Great pick up! I saw this one on CL for a while wondering why it hadn't been picked up. It looks real nice.

I remember seeing it last year for a bit. He had it listed pretty high $ and hadn't done the IMS. Re-listed it again this month. Thanks!

Very nice. Congrat's. And now after seeing that silver emblem on the hood I am thinking I need one.

POST 17Original post

quick question: what color are the side mirror caps right now (asking because your pics show both silver & black)

POST 18Original post

Nice pick up! Congrats. I too just picked up my first 911 a few weeks ago. I know the feeling! Looks like you got a well cared for car. Mine was pretty bone stock other than a b&m shifter.

POST 21Original post

Congrats! I've seen this car on the market here in the bay area for quite sometime. Seller was asking 38K last year, I think last asking price was around 32K. I really like how he put it together.

POST 22Original post

Quotes source post: 11288332

I used a kit from 3M that went to 3000 grit and polishing compound. The last and (in IMNSHO) most important step is the sealer. They look absolutely brand new now. Done with lights removed from the car, and a couple of beers on a Saturday afternoon.

Took the sanding and polishing advice..went to a friend's garage one day this weekend and had a go at it. turned out great!

POST 24Original post

Well optioned, Glad to hear you made your dream purchase. It only gets better from here, just drive and enjoy..

POST 25Original post

Nice car. Definitely keep an eye on the IMS, my 2003 C4S with less than 30k miles had the catastrophic IMS failure and it came without any warning. Actually, 2 weeks before it was in for a complete service with no signs of leaking, etc. Glad you have some sort of preventative protection.

POST 26Original post

Nice job on the headlights. Now you may want to cover with an XPEL film to prevent future UV damage. I did mine and you can't even tell it's there.

POST 27Original post

need to do that to my headlights, turned out great!

POST 30 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Quotes source post: 11296385

Yes, I'm definitely gonna keep an eye on it. I'm hoping the IMS oil lubricating kit installed last year is the answer (for now). from the service shop, it was the latest LN solution last year; from the service records it was from IMS Solution LLC.

Quotes source post: 11296900

If you got "the solution" installed, you shouldn't have any issues. But since Rennlist is all about gloom and doom, you just gotta keep an eye out for the other 25 modes of failure.
