Bart1 - What size (rear) tires do you have on your MY02s?

When I bought my car it had a 'Carrera RS' decal on the deck lid. It's not an RS and I thought the decal looked pretty tacky, so I removed it immediately. I liked the badgeless look and decided to keep it that way.

What 911C2 said. But, if I had a C4S I'd be tempted to leave it on 'cause I like the look.

Well, even if I have a C4S without a badge I love my "signature". The car came with some Gemballa mods from the factory which were interior upgrades and the rocker panels.

logan2z- our cars are twins. I had my rear badge removed when I had the RS tail added and basket handle removed.

I used to have 285s on there, but moved down to 265/35 when I bought the last ones.

I had an "arrera" for awhile, but after the novelty wore off I completed the badge ectomy.

285s fit great on my car, no rubbing at all. It's iffy, though, for different NBs.

Brendan, yours was one of the 993s I fell in love with before I bought mine, so I tried to find one like it. Our cars do appear to have been separated at birth
