However, I saw this beauty at a local dealership, took it for a test drive, and told my 2 daughters they'd have to stay small (to fit in the back seat).

Believe it our not, all the new Masseratis are all using chicken wires as grills.

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.

black on a C4S looks amazing... especially when you own a light colour you begin to love the darker colours more and more.. I think C4S looks best when left stock from outside. no wings no nothing.
Here's a pic of my new ride. Lighting is a bit off, but you get the idea. I've been shopping for a new ride for almost a year. If you can't tell from the ///M stripes on the cabinet, there was supposed to be an M5 parked there. However, I saw this beauty at a local dealership, took it for a test drive, and told my 2 daughters they'd have to stay small (to fit in the back seat). I love the car! It handles AMAZING and is in pristine condition.

Not sure. It was there when I bought it. Somekind of laser/jammer/radar would be my guess. It's not there now
...just a hole. Wonder how much the stealership will charge me for a new one?
Quote:
Yep, the body parts are expensive. If you are doing the 3rd radiator upgrade, then you could replace it with black painted chicken wires. Believe it our not, all the new Masseratis are all using chicken wires as grills.
Quote:
line up your chicken wire with maserati oem chicken wire. there is a diff, but even with that said, chicken wire or metal grills have no place on porsches or any sports cars. it looks cheap and out of place.
even the pricey lorinser kits on the mercedes... it looks like a joke.
Quote:
I know there is a difference but not a whole lot. Speed shops sells sheet of those things that are not chicken wires but something similar.
Its too bad because my Ruf bumper comes with something similar and I think they look awesome. The reason they are used is that they are really light yet very effective against debris. You know how 996 collect debris, leaves, cigaret butts, etc in the two side radiators. It's a lot of work cleaning them out. The chicken wire type grill filters out a lot of larger pieces yet do not restrict air flow.
Quote:
I know what you're saying, but I can't believe that BMW, Mitsu and Audi picked out that diamond pattern because it wasn't functional. You know what I mean? I've seen an authentic Ruf bumper on my buddy's 911 and that wire mesh while in black is much better, it really did cheapen the overall look of the piece.
Take it for what you will, but I'm just not a fan of chicken wire style mesh.
thanks for sharing everyone! some unbelievable c4s's on this thread! i have a weak spot for 993 c4s's too

Thanks! It's been out of action this week, though. You probably didn't notice me in my 1994 Integra.
p.s. that is not a finished pic of the DVD system...there is a trim around the unit now.

Car is in the shop today for an alignment and oil change since new mods. I only have a few pics that suck because the car was in the garage due to the downpour outside that day. I promise I will get more when I get it back.
here's some pics of my ride from my recent trip to beirut...

i live in a small town, so when i see congestion like Zookie's i have no feelings of guilt from the footprint of my Landrover and soon to arrive Cayenne.
it isn't what you own, but how you use it that sets that footprint.
I have some black Lloyds mats about 6 months old with red logo"carrera c4s" for sale $80. also selling OEM SSK, Fabspeed exhaust, REUS audio/nav system and I-forged 19" essen wheels and Mich. ps2 tire for sale.
PM if interested for pic and more info!!!

This picture for me, lets me know why without a doubt why I did what I did to get my dream car. With the wing up, the lines of the car and the plain fact that Porsche makes a daily driver you can drive to the track and whoop up on everyone just makes me proud to be part of the club. Nice Pic!! and God Speed.!!
It did great, I wasn't pusing it as hard around the corners as if it were dry but the awd/psm was kicking in around a few real slippery corners. I was still lapping all the other cars except for a Subaru that was on the track.
