Looks great. A little trick to turn the gray plastic back to black on your lower rear side bumper on the section from the wheel wells to the exhaust pipes is to use Forever Black Bumper Trim. It is a dye that will turn them back to black like the plastic on your lower rocker panels. Buy a foam brush to apply vs the applicator that is included. I used this product on my car and it made all of the lower black trim look like new. 1 year later and it still looks good.

A real beauty. I love the wide body and this looks like a very nice example.

Thanks everyone for the welcome and compliments. Hope to learn and contribute over time as much as possible.


Will take some interior pics soon. I am in Katy on the West side of Houston.

For details...car has 61,000 miles. There were no records as the most recent owner lost them when he had the car shipped from the guy he purchased from. I spoke to the two previous owners, both enthusiasts, so their memory plus the PPI made me feel okay. It has some issues that need to be addressed over time. I just replaced both headlight lenses, plan on painting the front bumper and putting in the turbo ducts in lieu of fog lights. Paint is very good otherwise. I also have in hand new rotors and pads for all four corners. Plan on doing the replacement soon with a caliper refinish and wheel well cleaning to boot. Interior is in good shape, i fixed a couple plastic tidbits that were cracked. it has aftermarket white dials and carbon fiber door/dash trim. Not sure if the turbo S wing is OEM or not (don't know how to tell). I don't think I will add the chin spoiler that goes with the kit and not sure I will keep the wing, I am partial to the C2S split grill. Also plan on getting the wheels refinished or possible trade out for hollows. We'll see...

This is awesome. I was just looking at that this weekend and was wondering how to address it. I think this is my next project...this Saturday.

Anyway, here are a few more pics I took of both of my C4S's side by side

whats up with the 996?

if its yours, what are you thoughts thus far between the two?

That is beautiful. I love the wide body cars.

I have had them both for about a year and they each get about the same amount of use, which is not enough since neither is a daily driver. My favorite is the 993 however, both for the looks and the driving experience. I do like top down driving with my 996, but I have thought about trading it a couple of times. There is just something about the 996 C4S however that makes me think someday it will be coveted so I hold on to it. I really like the way it looks, maybe someday it will be the "Best Looking of the first water cooled" as opposed to the 993's "Best Looking of the last air cooled".

Don't know but hey, why not

Yes the 996 is mine. The 993 is much more raw but much more fun to drive. The car gets a lot more attention than the 996 too, which my kids really find amusing around town. My wife however prefers the 996 (or her car) when we go on a "date night". She never wants to use, or even ride in the 993...it's just a toy for me and the kids in her mind

Beautiful cars. Why so much AWD from my hometown of Htown?
