It's just a common case of "I love my car, think they all look awesome, but mine is awesome-er cuz it's mine!" Everybody has it, no cure. If someone doesn't have it, I hope they catch it!

Build Specs:
-Agate grey with the black/grey full leather combo interior
-PDK
-Platinum wheel finish
-PASM
-Sport Exhaust
-PCM/Nav
-18 way adaptive seats
-Heated/cooled seats
-Premium package plus
-Bose upgraded stereo
-Sunroof
-Power Steering
-Sport Chrono
-Sport sterring wheel
-Porsche crest on seats
-Aluminum foot rest
-PDK shifter in Aluminum
-Stainless steel sills

Sorry - I will post pics this weekend.

On another note - Man! - I love driving this car. It drives like no other. Makes my GT3RS even more raw - didn't think that was possible.
Congrats man and you have quite the collection good luck.. I'm new to the Porsche world and loving it.

Okay - you now can get clear taillights. Even though this is a lease - I guess I could remove them and switch it back to the original before I turn the car in. The local dealer had a C4S come in with the clear lights in Agate Grey - very cool looking. Really completes the car.

I already have the clear turn signal up front. Any thoughts on the rear lenses?

My personal opinion is since you have the lower rear reflectors in red anyway, it looks better to keep the red turn signal/light lenses.

How does the c2s compare with your 996 c4s? Specifically when going into a curve or coming out of a curve and in different road conditions? Does the c4s feel significantly more planted to the road? Do you feel the c4s pull you out of the curve better/more stably than the c2s?

scubadriver:
If I had the extra cash - I would have preferred the C4S - hands down. The 993 is a different feel and drive than the 991. the 991 is wider and longer that the 993 and of coursce, a completely different car. Having said that, the 991, to me, is a true GT car. Great performance with a high end luxury interior. With pasm and the sport exhaust selection - you can get it to feel very stiff and responsive. The PSE option releases an incredible sound - I will never order any Porsche without it.
