...interesting.

Not sure I like the idea of dressing up a C4S like a turbo, but if I didn't know the model differences I'd think it handsome.

Tasetfully done

Very nice job, OEM look, and would have thought it could have come from the factory like that....clean and well modded. This is one of the the nicest 4s I have seen modded..... thanks for posting

Why?

Why not, that is what Porsche has done for years...... 996 c4s has turbo front end and rear bumper from factory? Not like he re-badged it...... Porsche should have offered this as an option IMO. Its kind of silly that a well optioned c4s is 10K-20K or more in cost then a base 997 etc and besides only the wider hips offers no visual differences in 997.1....

..probably in the minority here but I think ALL 911's need a rear wing. Great job none the less. White = win

thanks... I kept it wingless to maintain the C4S identity and with the new bumpers it looks (somehow) wider

I always loved the C4S, the 993 and the 996 and that is what inspired me when doing this. The good thing is that my younger brother loved it coz he didnt have a clue how his car will turn

Great mods -- first time I've seen a C4S like this -- really nice!

I'm still not clear about whether/how you got the front signals to work tho -- I'm interested.

I was also worried about the LEDs and the fog lights, but the workshop didn't mention any issues about that, they only complained about the exhaust tips! In fact, the 1st thing I did when I got the car was making sure blinkers and fog lights working

However, this is a GCC spec car, not sure how similar the lighting system to USDM cars.

Wow, just like the 996 C4S version - only done to a 997 - great concept! Looks good - I'd also agree on leaving it wingless. Otherwise, it'll look just like a Turbo and lose its uniqueness.

what is the source of the GT3 vent in the front bumper?

Very clean, impressive vision.

Nice mod. I was told the GT3 front end aerodynamics were unbalanced at speed without the spoiler, is this also the case for the turbo without spoiler? Not hard to get the puppy over 200kmph.

One of the sensors on the rear bumper looks like it was pushed in.
