I've always love ZB - I've seen it on some Boxsters, but not 911s - great color for both cars. I love it!

patric- Nice color. One suggestion get rid of the orange side markers and go with the clear ones. looks 10x better.

Chris79SC,
Where did you get your bumpers (front and rear) and sideskirts from? Cab looks great.

Im considering buying a second 996 in Zenith Blue. What does it look like when it's detailed?

My son and I picked up this 2002 C4S in Zenith Blue. It was optioned as a paint to sample. I think it was an extra 4300$. So far, we love the car. Need to do a few maintenance items in next year.

My son and I replaced the weathered console, shift ****, emergency brake handle, a number of switches, the horseshoe trim and a new LCD screen for the climate controls. We are happy with the results.

Looks lovely this ZB 996 with grey interior. Are these heat shields the arched covers above the exhaust tips ?

Think about replacing those engine mounts. Yours look almost as bad as mine were. You'll think it was the best $200 you could spend on the car.....

Ari, beautiful 996! Love it! Interesting how your color is darker. Your car probably sat in a garage a lot. The car my son and I bought sat in the hot sun in Tennessee. Surely that did not help keep the paint color intact.

Giorginetto-- thanks for the note. Those trim pieces are just decorative. They must have been part of the C4S package. They are just thin aluminum pieces riveted to bumper cover.

Thank you I have had car about 6 months now. I don`t know about garage when it was in japan, but here in Finland it has been in garage during winter. Just before those pics were taken, car was professionally machine polished and waxed. I know that it seems bit dark in those pics, but in diffrent light it’s lighter. Bumpers and mirror covers were repainted because previous owner ruined lacquer with a pressure washer.
