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.

..I had my OEM twists painted at Autowerks in El Monte (great shop
)..I also highly recommend Performance Wheel Repair in Walnut for paint/powder coat/polish/wheel repair/etc..
Hey I Have a 2004 996 C4S can anyone tell me what size speakes are in it. I Up graded the radio and was tring to save a little money, so i did not upgrade speakers. and $2800 later ive got a great radio and a bunch of blown bose crap. Help!
Brando, I'm sure you've been asked a thousand times, but if you don't mind repeating this what front chin spoiler is that and is the rear wing an Porsche piece or aftermarket? Car looks great.
Thanks!
Front is the OEM Aero lip.
Wing is the Misha GT2M.
I think the next thing I'm going to do is have the black side skirt pieces painted body color.

B, when you do post up somes pics asap. I'm still on the fence, but cant help but think the car will look lower and sleeker with the sides and rear painted to match. good thoughts....
Hi guys,
I just got a 2005 C4S last week and have a couple of questions I hope someone will kindly answer:
1) Has any of you successfully replaced the CRD 23 unit with a Pioneer AVIC? If so, any info would be appreciated as I am contemplating that mod.
2) After looking as 48 pages of mostly gorgeous fotos, I can't help but wonder why some model years have the oval exhaust and others the siamese twin ones.
I'm coming from a BMW E90 335i and my car is Arctic Silver on black w tip. Bought used with 9.7K miles. Will post pics soon.
Thanks
Quote:
I think the twin exhaust is just an option found on some C4S configurations or orderable from the factory. I dont think its dependant on pse. Tips are changeable. I think its Fabspeed that now has some very cool twin dual straight pipe tips. I didnt like the "siamese twins" on my car at first, but have grown into them a little bit. welcome aboard.

Thanks.
I found the threads after quite a while. Save some fotos and took them to my installer in NJ. They can do it with an interface that is rather expensive. Main issue was the year of the car as it was originally sold as 05 but manufactured 07/04 in order to determine the correct interface.
Should be done by the end of next week and I'll post pics.
Thanks for all the help to a newbie.
Beautiful........when it's clean.
My last car was black......and I sure am loving the Grey for not showing dirt and swirl marks.
Love those wheels!

Few pix from the Canadian Grand Prix 2010 in Montreal, Canada... Dont mind she's dirty from the 600km trip from Toronto... In front of the Hotel we were staying at during the F1 Weekend on 420 Sherbrook "Holiday Inn Mid-Town"
Just done: Avic 710 BT + 2 Alpine amps. Bose speakers and subs stayed. Like it, clean install. Takes 2 mins to initialize but once done is easy to use with touch screen.
Pic shows Zune connected via Aux input. Ipod in glove box. I'm one of those who prefers the Zune sound and its ability to play Ogg Vorbis.
Beautiful rides everyone!
Can someone here point me in the right direction as to how to find out if a particular C4S I'm looking at is a good buy or not? (without coming out of pocket for a PPI, etc) I made a thread asking just that but was given an infraction warning.
Thanks a million.

Hey guys, nice rides!!!
I haven't been on 6speed that much yet so haven't figured out yet how to post larger pics..
That said here's my C4S, it doesn't have the "carrera 4s" logo in these pics (new decklid) but it is on right now (red S).
Cheers,
Sid.
