Good eye! I missed that. It also looks lower than mine in the rear. Could just be the angle it's sitting at or the angle of the photograph though...

I would be curious what kind of price you paid for it? There is one locally with low miles but they have it priced around 48k. Seems like they should be low 40's or high 30's?

Congrats on the ride. I wish I had looked around a bit harder for a Anniversary when I bought my 996. But hey...Guards Red is hard to beat.

Guards red C4S was my fall back car if the 40th deal fell thru. Guards red needs to be seen in person to appreciate it. Pictures don't do it justice.
