Default You are the chosen one, alright? Let's dance.

She arrived Monday night. Gave her a bath Tuesday morning. Spent last night cleaning her out. Found that the Porsche decals are just magnets so those are now removed. She had a nice racing helmet, subwoofers, battery tinder, Porsche car cover with bag, wind deflector, and the stock spoiler come with her. I went and got her registered and titled today so I can now drive her legally. I really liked my yellow *****, but I love love love my lady in red. She will be undergoing some cosmetic surgery over the next few days so I will post an update after I bring her home. I found she has some fun backlit mirrors and underdash lighting also!

I really don't have time during the week to do anything in the daylight, so it will have to wait until Saturday.

Nice looking car there Hawk, glad it came with a windscreen, the windscreen you were going to buy from Phil ended up in my hands after finding out he lived less than 10 mins from me, went and picked up the windscreen from him this morning.

Go Hawks!

Are you in he Seattle area too? Good to see another red 996 in nice shape, love this color.

edit: which rear wing is that? I thought about getting one myself, but if you're interested in selling it, ping me.

Good move Hawk! The fender logos are a Ferrari thang. No need to copy them. Porsche has always unique ways of badging a car. Many enthusiasts go a little wild with the rear logos. Some even think it's cool to rebadge a car into something that it's not like making 996 Carrera, a "CarreraS" even though all 996 owners know that Porsche didn't make a CarreraS in the 996 series.

Hope you enjoy your "Lady in Red" dancing "cheek to cheek"! ha!
