As I mentioned above, I have the silver Carrera 4 script on the rear on my C4 (not S) and also have the silver calipers.



There were two PO on my car--one a doctor who simply bought a new 996 one day when he brought the car in for an oil change and then a VP of finance for Unisys (who did no mods), so I think both of these are stock.

Sorry for taking this thread OT--I was just curious.

.
correct: silver script on the engine cover and titanium calipers were standard on the C4.

mine also has "carrera 4" script on the wheel caps (which i thought was standard) and i believe that the silver gear shift inlay was standard on the C4

Scott, you can pick yours up directly from Ralph Boothe. He lives in Hacienda Heights and is a very nice gentleman. Walking into his home is like walking into a Porsche museum. You can get silver crest, center caps, no turn center caps, wheel bolts, locks, etc. Chances are Devek (and everyone else who sells silver crests) got them from Ralph as well.

David, bring it over tomorrow and we'll throw it on. It's a 2 min. job. If you have a new gasket, I'll take your old one off your hands, since the body shop that repainted my SC's hood forgot to replace the gasket. Doing the rear badge is a bit more tricky, if you're not replacing it with something the exact same size. Taking my black "Carrera" badge off to replace with the chrome "911" did not come out too well.....until I had the whole car resprayed.
