I just bought my first 996�a 2003 C4S coupe with 58K miles. Black with brown interior. I am having the IMS changed out immediately, as well as changing out the wheels to some five spoke Fuchs lookalikes (the wheels on it now we�re chromed�not my thing.) I plan on adding some new coco mats or sisal mats and doing something with the exhaust as well. This is my third 911 and fifth Porsche. First was an �86 coupe. Second was a 2015 coupe. Both were black. We currently have a 2016 Macan Turbo (my wife�s car) which is fantastic in every way.

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.

Looks great! I love the "Natural Leather" interior... Is it "full leather" as well (judging by what I can see of the dash, it looks like it)? Good luck with it!
Nice!
Nice looking car! Enjoy putting miles on her.
Beautiful combo! Don't see that much on the 996s for whatever reason. Enjoy her! Love my C4S.

hands down my favorite color combo. I looked for one of these for a year and couldn�t find. If it happens to have deviated carpet (black) I�m super jealous. Welcome and please post more pix! I�m fairly certain all C4s cars are full leather, never seen one without - seems odd me telling you something though, lol. Mark listen to this dude, dporto is the resident 996 guru and his input here has taught me tons.
welcome!
Congrats.
Congrats! Love the wheels.

I�m changing them to these 19� Fuchs copies. I paid $800 for four vs $5000 for the real thing!
looks great man. Welcome aboard.
Distinctive color combo, very rare for sure. Awesome choice for new wheels and you can certainly get a pretty penny if you choose to sell current set. No better site for owners than this....welcome! Where do you get the replicas for $800?
Great interior color, nice looking low mileage 996.Enjoy!
