The Official 996 C4S Thread

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?

even the pricey lorinser kits on the mercedes... it looks like a joke.

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.

Take it for what you will, but I'm just not a fan of chicken wire style mesh.
