Our great journey, started in April 2000 when I was looking for a replacement for my son’s (Rocky) 1984 Euro 928S since it was in the shop more than on the city streets and I heard the rumors about the 2002 996 having the new turbo style lights and other enhancements. Rocky has worked very hard in college and was graduating from Cal, so I said why not. I placed a deposit in April 2000 at our local Porsche dealer, the seal grey 2002 996 C2 coupe arrived on September 2002, you should have seen the smile on my son’s face. Then he started talking about mods, I was so afraid he was going to ruin a perfectly great car ( I said only exterior appearance, absolutely no mechanical), so again I got involved with his “honey’s” project. I started searching the web for a 996 forum and wanted to thank the following people for their assistance in our project. Thanks to: Ken Edwards of Rector Porsche, Burlingame, CA (the salesperson) Ben Kea for introducing us to the 996 forum Don Watson for his knowledge, information and support Claudia Ellenreider of Ruf in Germany Denniel of Sunset Imports for the Porsche parts (she is great) Stuart Davidson of Weissach Ruf Performance Victor and Lawrence of ASP Auto Sport Performance Ken Tu of Eastern auto body shop Oakland, CA And the numerous 996 forum members for the part numbers and information Finally, To our son: You are the greatest son any parents can hope for. Enjoy, have fun, drive safely and congratulations on graduating. Love, Dad and Mom We have posted the before and after photos, your comments are welcome.

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.

That's one great looking car. The more I see of Seal Gray, the more I like it...sort of a cross between dark gray and silver. Hope you have many years of enjoyment! Narrow-bodies rule!
