Only S I've ever seen where somebody swapped the twin grill for the black single. To each his/her own I guess ...

Very nice. I find it odd that someone would do a rear bumperette delete and just paint the fronts? Nice car though.

This car looks like it use to have the turbo S kit, they removed the back wing but not the front part, but man it looks SICK!

Yeah .. good call! Maybe checking a Carfax and asking the owner about any rear end accidents might be a good idea ..

I was thinking the same thing. Euro bumper, non-split grill, no badge sure seems to signal a rear end makeover.

Beautiful car, either way. The TechArts usually aren't my favorite, but they look the part here.

BTW: is it really a 2S?
there is no "Carrera S" badge on the rev counter and the brake discs seems to be 322mm diameter (turbo/4S "big red" size)

I forgot .. there's a shot of the option code sticker showing 993 340 at the top. 340 is the code for Carrera S. A 4S is code 140.
