Great article post, Vancouver; thank you.
I love this car, and I cannot lie. It's here to stay.

Love that combo of color with the Sport Techno wheels. Looks like a nice dark blue. Some wingnut powdercoated my wheels at some point. I'll get them refinished back to a stock look at the next tire change!

Thanks. Yes; midnight blue, with gray interior. Came with a partial carbon option, which I've…augmented (translation: got rid of many cr*ppy soft touch painted plastic parts, without going completely overboard).

I'd like to get screens for the air intakes, but I go around and around as to which ones, silver or black, yada yada…it's a sickness, I tellya.

Also: If anyone knows how/where to get an abbreviated ducktail, similar to the Singer version that'll fit a C4S: I'd be much obliged. I've yet to find just the right piece, beyond I believe one from RUF that'll set you back about $5000.
MAShaw has a nice one, based upon their GT2 wing minus the upper plane if I recall: but it's just not quite right.

What about a rear decklid from a TT and then remove the extendable spoiler... like this:

This is standard given the way these cars are aligned, right?

At 39,709 miles, the Yokohama AVS Sport tires had gotten noisy, and we noticed the inside of the rears were worn out. That's a sure sign the alignment had gone south.

I read all the articles here, and man it just made me go out to the garage and stare at my car. Oh yes I love her, and all these articles just reinforce that. I can't wait to get her back to California to do some canyon carving
