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.

Quotes source post: 3351934

Quote: Yeah mine only had 13,780 miles on it The previous owner was a 65 year old man who drove it once a week to his country club for Sunday tennis and brunch. He bought it brand new in Feb 2003. I have all the records and its in near perfect condition except a small scratch located slightly above the right rear wheel well. I am very happy with my new C4S! Just today I received some new clear side markers that I will be installing this weekend - my first mod Your car looks identical to mine - artic silver metallic is my favorite color - good choice! -rich

POST 2Original post

great. post up a pic with the new side marker lights. I bet the car with look better. One mod I've been thinking about is painting the black lower running strips to match the car, front, sides, rear. I've heard of some folks painting the front with a rattle can as paint there can tend to chip off. Body shop to do the sides and rear, unless the detail shop feels confident. Been thinking about this for some time, still somewhat undecided. Your car looks great. Cheers....

Looks more like the classic air-cooled 911's. My SC ("fight on") had a small, little console with 2 air conditioner control dials and a little cubby. I like this mod. I was going to do it but actually have come to like having the cd trays up front, and the tray does come in handy.
