What frame should I buy for my rear license plate... currently have a cheapo one with dealer name and am looking for something nicer. Cab is Seal Grey... can you get frames in that color.... where?
Can always go the Chrome route... lots on ebay for sale.
Any thoughts?
I got a brushed silver to match the brushed sivler Carrera script on teh deck lid/ It looks good, not too flashy, not really an attention getter, just blends in well as part of the car, which is what a license plate frame should do, IMO.
My car is arctic silver, so I have a polished stainless steel frame with the 'Porsche' script. That way it's reusable with any Porsche model (should I ever switch in the future).
Your votes please:
1. Carrera in Black Script
2. Carrera in Black Script
3. Porsche in Silver Script
4. 911 in Silver Script
5. Carrera in Silver Script
All are about $15 (shipping included on eBay).
Thx!
I really like a plain, black polished or satin finish frame which doesn't detract from the look of the car. Can't remember where I got it, but it's a stainless steel plate frame.
Phil - I know that I have seen a lot of pics of the 996 C4S rear end, but this is the first time I have noticed the chrome around the edge of the exhaust opening in the bumper. I also noticed it on the pic that Cosmos posted. Just curious, is that a stock item? My '04 C2 does not have that.
Speaking about not driving your P-car in the winter, you never did tell us how you got your car from the dealer to your house a couple of weeks ago when all of the snow/salt was on the roads. Did you have it "flat-bedded" home?
I'm impressed you remember.
No, I was very lucky. The day I had to take it in I was lucky enough that we had only light salt on the roads and the roads were dry (did make an effort to avoid the heavily salted roads - it helps that I live only a couple of miles from my dealer).
On the day I had to bring the car home it was a close call... it was right after snowfall and they overcompensated for the lack of salt during the icestorm a few days earlier by putting tons of salt on the the roads. The roads were wet and snowy in the morning, but thankfully the roads dried out during the day and I was able to get the car home without any major salt exposure. I thought I was going to end up with a salted car, but got lucky.
The dealer said that they had a very large number of cancellations because of the weather - pretty funny. I know I'm a freak when it comes to my car, but after waiting a month for the appointment I wasn't going to let a little bit of salt get between me and the final bit of my aero kit being installed.
Do you service your car with Holbert's? How has your luck been with them - I've used them and Brandywine. I like BW all around, but their damn driveway is so steeply raked, it's almost impossible to get my car to their service area without scraping my front valence - I have one of their folks come out and guide me in.
As to whether my plate frame exists, the answer is yes - to the best of my knowledge. At least it did when I last saw it a month ago before I put the car away under its cover.
I agree with Phil above that it is a heat shield - it looks chrome in the photo, but it's a white material, ceramic I believe. And yes, stock on the C4S.
I do use Holberts. I've had good luck with them so far. They can be pretty expensive, so you have to watch them to be sure that they're only doing work that needs to be done, rather than up-selling, but otherwise they care about doing a good job and do give a PCA discount. The big plus for me is that they're less than 5 mins. from my house.
An example, the aero kit job that I just did, their quote for parts, paint and fitting came in around $5600. My completed job came in at less than $3K with the combination of sourcing parts from DPS, having them do the painting, me fitting them bumper and Holberts doing the side skirts.
Yeah, mine was under a cover until it had to go out for the sid skirts fitting, now it's sitting there without a blanket getting cold.
I think that plates with '911' or Carrera are quite redundant. Not only does the car say Carrera on the back already, but the shape is so ubiquituous, that everybody knows that anyhow, so why does the plate need to explicitly say it!
I am very inclined toward the Rennlist plate (show some support) which I might get, at this stage I have a simple thin-framed black metal plate, which is very clean and simple, and matches the black 'Carrera' logo on the back of the car.
Very good. I'm impressed.
Well, Wednesday is Ladies Day for oil changes at the local BJ's, so my wife told me a should put on a dress when I told her the concept was sexist.
Hi, I have an arctic silver car and chrome frames looks great with no writing. It really sets off the exhaust tips and the one i have is upscale with snap on covers for the screws. Try it out!
