Jason, I am STILL regretting selling you that C4 coupe.

I had the same reaction to the 996 I replaced it with, fast, more updated, but a lack of soul. It lasted less than a year in my garage.

Vic,

You'll be happy to know that "our" old 993 has found it's way back to New England. The owner lives in Burlington, VT...he put snows on it and it's a year-round daily driver! I cringe when I think about what road salt will do to the car.

OTOH, there's a 1969 911E (with a 1982 3.0 motor) for sale on Pelican Parts. It looks like it left the factory a few days before I was born...my wife doesn't buy the argument that god has intended for me to have that car. I've got to come up with a better angle

If you track your car, you should have the brace, even with the 17" wheels.

Installation takes about fifteen minutes and total cost is about $40.
