Default Reflector back on C4/C4S for the 2009 997 (MK II)

The 2009 model year of the 997 C4/C4S has a reflector on the rear deck lid. I know that many of you liked the reflector on the 996 C4/C4S and bemoned the demise of the reflector on the initial 997 models.

Just curious to hear what you guys think of the new reflector?

I'm not sure I love the new taillights but they will probably grow on me. I do like the rear reflector, makes it look like a Porsche!

I hate the new droopy tail lights and the red reflector looks like it shouldn't be there.

At least I've "got a 911" to go with my Mac!

Tim, you gonna change your userID?

BTW, here's what it looks like on my screen right now. I've never seen problems like this on Rennlist. No pics showing up today. Some avatars are missing (blue box with question mark in it), PM down for several hours. Damn! Makes you really appreciate the hard work that John and Jenn put into RL when they owned the site.

Im with you on this... Ive been getting this for a couple of days now. Been really flakey... database errors, slow, missing attached pics.... and to many blown engine threads (when I finally attached to the server, that is)

I can say that I do NOT plan to renew my membership when my current 2-yr term expires. I think I still have 1.5 years left on this term but if things don't get SIGNIFICANTLY better then I don't see the utility of supporting the site monetarily.

I loved it on the 996 and on the older models as well. Not sure it really seems to be a good fit with the 997 MK2. It might grow on me, but it just looks "a bit much" for some reason on this car whereas it looked completely natural on all previous models.

something ain't right. Needs more end to end linear lines to make it look wider instead of the new tail lamp shape.
