Default Just moved from 993 to 996 C4S
The car got loaded onto the truck today. It's on its way to Kansas City. Should have it in 2 days. ASG in Fairfax, VA did the PPI and went above and beyond in helping me get the car shipped.

Here are the details: 2002 C4S lapis blue w/ gray interior. High miles (82k) but the price was right and it passed PPI with flying colors. It's been driven but well cared for. I'm not sure about the wing. I'm also getting the OEM engine cover. Anyone need a Guards Red 993?

Do you prefer a different wing, or no wing at all?

I will probably go with no wing, but I'm going to drive it for a while and see if it grows on me.

wing doesn't look right w/o all the other aerobits, lowering and bigger wheels. i'd take it off and roll stock.

Very nice Congrats! Great color, I'm not biased in any way!

First two mods: 1) clear side markers, 2) aluminum gauge rings. Both can he purchased from Eric at BumperPlugs.com.

Congrats on the car!

Looks like the one Tim has for sale, only with higher mileage.

Nice! I agree with most, lose the wing and it will look a lot smoother.

Yeah, I'm not a big fan of the BAW. (Big assed wing)

A wing on a Carrera is like **** on a bull. Not much use unless you want to go flying.

(yes dell, I know, they're useful on a track car)

WRT the RUF badge - who knows, hopefully we'll get more info. Doesn't look like a RUF, nor cost as much as a RUF, so that leads you to assume....

Totally agree. Hate them on the street, LOVE them on the track.
