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.

75 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

Don't add a spoiler. Leave the air dynamics as is. Improving the suspension, air intake and plenum would be a worthy addition. The C4S is a unique body style. Keep it the way it was engineered to be.

Zookee: It's about time somebody makes full utilization of their Porsche. The roof rack system is impressive. It reminds of a Porsche carrying bicycles on the roof rack. I'm going to do the same.

Quote: Agreed. The C4S was created with a perfect balance between the front spoiler/chin and the automatic wing. Perhaps the Turbo automatic wing but a stationary one . . . just not sure. Nevertheless, the shape of the C4S' rear is something to admire.

POST 66Original post

My time has arrived. I just took delivery of a 02' 996 C4S and cannot wipe the grin off my face. I am amazed at how nice it rides and drives, comfort wise. This could easily be a daily driver. My first Porsche. Car came from Dallas to our home in Ashburn, VA after a year long search/quest. Looking back, I should have flown in and drove back as some have suggested. Also, I must say, the Porsche Sports Exhaust is something special. You just cant help but smile every time she boots up. I was a little concerned it might be too loud for me(and others). However, I was dead wrong, it is one of the prettiest purrs I have heard. Thanks to those who convinced me and shared their thoughts. I am thinking of is a K&N filter change(upgrade) or cold air charger kit. I would welcome any feedback if you have experience. Love the thread, loyalty and group here. Some great pics and advice. Thanks.

POST 68Original post

Hi everyone, here's my first post. Just picked up a 2003 C4S, in yellow. I am very excited as this is my first P-car. Currently at the dealer getting some CPO work done. One thing the dealer refuses to replace is on one of the headlight there are small cracks all around the seal, I will try to take a pict of it when I et the car back, it looks like the plastic was stressed and these small cracks starts to form over time. Anyone else have something like that? The other headlight has already been replaced 2 yrs ago and looks brand new. Any advice?
