These are a test set (cheap auction site version).
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.

Thx 911C4S
I used plastidip to check if I want my rims black. And I do
Plan is to powdercoat them next time I need new tires. I do my powdercoating myself also

Is there anything you cannot do? Post those pics when you're done with the wheels! It's always nice being able to do your own mods, saves on $$ too!

Hehe, yes, very satisfying to do your own stuff
Will post pics when finnished, in the meentime, hers pics of my first powdercoatjob with my homemade equipement.
Weels and fork for my -98 900 ducati Monster.
First porsche 03' stock with 95k miles with metropol blue interior. Always wanted a polar silver p car. Replaced the speakers, coil packs/plugs, 2" hack, and have H&R springs to install when I do a wheel upgrade. Learning from this website everyday....
Wanted to share some pics of my 2004 996 C4S.
After doing some searching on here for headlight options I found a great
alternative. I ordered some "Covers" on Ebay and then had them painted and mounted. Attached are the pics, stay tuned for the tail light LED upgrades and other options.
I am in the LA area so I am attaching the places where I have the work done. So far my experience with Pristine Auto on FairFax was phenomenal. The Owner is a Porsche lover and did my headlights for $100 even once I brought in the parts.
H&R springs, camber plates, refinished the wheels, new rear tires, alignment, and popped in the 4S center caps. While the car was up replaced bank 2 cam sensor and no more p0349. The car feels much better. Beginning to enjoy the car now.
Upgraded my tail and side light to LEDs.
The taillights are the "Black Smoke" LED option. I really liked the center reflector and the bottom of the LEDs.
The sides are the non-Amber white LEDs.
Both done at Del Rey Customs in Venice. True plug and play no adapters.

Hello:
I've got an aesthetics question for my fellow 996ers. Here's what my car looks like (got this image off the internet, but everything's the same except for the wheels):
As many of you know, Fuchs is making some modern versions of their famous windmill wheels. This is what the standard wheel color options look like:
Of those options, I think the the ones with the silver petals are the coolest, BUT, here's the one I want your opinions on. They are totally unpainted:
So, my friends, what do you think? If you hadn't guessed, I'm not super tied to what went on widebody v narrowbody back in the old days. Just want to get some outside opinions on my idea before I drop the $$$!
thanks,
Steerpike
Recently joined the club and added some DRLs. These are a test set (cheap auction site version). Eventually, I'll get a higher quality set, but happy with the result and added visibilty.
Picking up my new C4S next week. Guards Red over black. Bone stock. Factory options were red console, red belts, embossed seat crests, and draped leather. 85k miles, Clutch/IMS/RMS/etc. done 3 years/10k miles ago. I had been shopping for a C2, but managed to find this one within my budget. Replacing my Guards Red over black 1989 944S2.
Of those options, I think the the ones with the silver petals are the coolest, BUT, here's the one I want your opinions on. They are totally unpainted:

I agree the Fuchs with the silver petals are the coolest. Like to see them on my car.
For the first time in 10 years of ownership, I may need snow tires. I've been told they do not make snow tires for factory set of wheels. Anyone running snows? What are my options?
here are some old pictures of my 2004 C4s a few years before I sold in in 2008 - traded it and burned through 3 more P cars but back looking at the C4S again.
have found a nice Atlas Grey one on the market - that colour was my first choice when I got the first 4S, but I ended up with a Basalt black. anyway, always loved the Atlas Gray.

Hi all,
Owned this C4S for about 4 years now.
Looked hard to find white/black combination.
Luckily this C4S was nicely done with Techart black wheels along with spoiler, IPD plenum, and PSS9 suspension.
Since it had 68k miles, I decided to do the clutch and IMS upgrade. I also upgraded to Alpine stereo/JL amps & speakers.
Lots of fun and good news is car has held its value so well.
ps. Shall I change oil each year even if only 2k miles per year?
Patrick

For $25k plus/minus, there's no better Porsche on the market, imho.
One can get newer cayman or boxster, or older super high mileage 964 w/ oil leaks & bad AC...but for me, unless one is willing to pay $35k+ for 996TT or 997.2, the C4S is the best car for the $.

Here is what I read on the PCA email I got last night... Please see the link and can any one tell me know and where to find the release!

Zook, what are the specs on those HREs?
After keeping it stock for a few years, finally starting the wheel search. Hard to find ones that fit the car better than the twists though!

Last weekend a local photographer asked me if I had a little time so he could test a "new" location.
Ofcourse I took the change to have some great photo's made of my car =)

UPDATE:
Aerokit II wing is off to a new happy home in Idaho. Thanks,
@c210rg
.
Pretty quiet thread here... hopefully I can get some guidance. A friend took over a car dealership and ended up with a bunch of Porsche parts. Most interesting to this forum: an Aerokit II rear lid. It's a bare lid (no reflector) and in OE black paint. I offered to sell it for him. My guess is the value is around $4400. Thoughts?
