TURBO LOOK BODY AND BUMPERS, TURBO WHEELS AND BRAKES AND SUSPENSION FULL ELATHER INSIDE WHATS A SHORT GIFT?

Short shifter probably... No much to add from 99firehawk message... Enjoy your search and your car !!!

thanks guys. sorry, wanted to write short shift. the options mentioned are the ones in that car that im looking righ now. what are bumpers? sorry for my poor english... (nico, no short shifter for sure between standard options. the guy as paid for that)

A bumper is the front and back part of your car below the lights the C4 has "normal" bumper but the C4S has the Turbo ones with larger air intakes (holes) in the front and with some more air intakes at the rear. Where are you from ? Have a good day !

BUMPER YOU PROBALY CALL IT A SPOILER

In the states they quit importing the narrow body C4 in 2002, so a C4S here will have the facelift and 3.6l motor, though it's also quite a bit heavier.

thanks guys. yes bumper is the spoiler.. the only thing i dont like in teh C4S is the red thing in the back between lights. looks "old" to me, even if it is the first thing you see to recognise it's a 4S. is there a way to paint it and, in case of future sale, to dissolve the paint and restore it to the original? would you do that?

I wouldn't even think about doing that - I would leave it as is. Phil G. '04 C4S Coupe Atlas/Black

That rear reflector IS the C4S, the fact the 997 C4S doesn't have it is very disappointing. You make my soul cry.

sorry riad, but... "taste is taste". it is not that i hate it, it is just that i think that it looks.. "old"... not sure about doing that anyway, just wondering... eheh please dont cry...

That rear refelctor is one of the great things about the C4S. It sort of takes the ques from its great roots of the 964 and 993. I love it, and wish that I would have gotten a C4S for that very reason.

ok, i think i got my answer... ill leave it!!! thanks guys...

I certainly hope they add the reflector to the C4S when they do the refresh for 2008. It's an iconic element of the 911.

I wouldn't change it. I love it. But you could probably change out the rear deck lid.

sorry riad, but... "taste is taste". it is not that i hate it, it is just that i think that it looks.. "old"... To many of us old is a good thing. After all the basic 911 shape hasn't changed that much in 40 years, and that's the way most of us like it.

I agree, the rear reflector does make the C4S look "old" and dated. I really don't like it. It's almost as attarctive as the "silver arches" on the new 997 Targa.

Don't make me slap you!!!

That's better!

The 4S is about 0.5" lower as well.
