Well, just was at my dealer in Danbury and I'm having the order changed to have the lightyed sills!

I even mentioned your Avatar on nice they look.

Lucky, they had a C2S Cab that had a set on and I checked it out... Very NICE! I hope the order can be changed, if not, they'll do it at the dealer.

And yes, this forum just vaccums your wallet!

Regards,
Deanski

Coochas, from the part description it looks like it should say 4S:

"CXB Stainless Steel Door Entry Guards Illuminated
Includes entry guards in stainless steel with Carrera 2/Carrera S/Carrera 4S logo, illuminated in white. NOT AVAILABLE with X69, X70."

Coochas

I've asked but he doesn't know,...he (Alfie) thinks that it is only "Carrera" or "Carrera S" - kind of like the Audi thing.
Does anyone know who at PCNA I can drop an email to that provides resolution on things like this??????

Deven

The order code is CXB and the MRSP is 780. My understanding was that whatever the regular aluminum door sils says, the illuminated one will say as well when ordering CXB.

Coochas,

I just checked with Porsche parts. Here are the associated part#'s for each model.

illiminated door-entry guards in stainless steel
997 044 800 51 with Carrera logo
997 044 800 54 with Carrera S logo
997 044 800 59 with Carrera 4 logo
997 044 800 68 with Carrera 4S logo

Different part#'s it must be a different part for the 4S.

Coochas

Thanks MH,...BUT, do the different panels actually have the different logos? i.e. does the 4S part have "Carrera S" or "Carrera 4S" on it - they could be different part numbers solely because of the alignment with the rear fender. I dunno?

Am I the only guy with a C4S with illuminated sills????? Shed some light on me!

Do the stainless steel lighted sils really scratch easily? Should I get the carbon fiber trim, even though I have no carbon fiber trim in the rest of the car?

Anyone have experience with either ones?

Coochas

No scratches in 2.5 months!
In general, I think the CF should be a theme and not live in isolation.

MHC2S

Coochas I don't know. I have never seen a C4S with illuminated sills other than yours I have to admit. If you ask any salesman they just say they don't know. I can only assume that if you have a C4S your logo would say C4S, and I see your does not. Can't make any sense out of it

Page 23 of the Tequipment booklet...lower right corner. Specifically states 8 different parts/logos:

(carbon + stainless) x (Carrera + C2 + C4 + C4S)

Coochas, After seeing the illuminated door sills i did order them for my c4s .The code is CXB is shown on my order. I did see them on a c4s and it did say CARRERA 4S .Also i just called my salesman and he confirmed .My car was built on feb 13 and awaiting news of when it will be put on boat.Will continue checking sites to see if i find a photo but think the factory may have grabbed one from the wrong stack! CRG

Robster,

We know this. It's just that none of us have ever seen a C4S illuminated door sill. Those that have a C4S and have ordered the illuminated door sill option have gotten a "Carrera S" illuminated door sill. Not very good on Porsches part.

Robster have you seen a C4S illuminated door sill??? We would all love to know if such a thing exists!

crg1717

It said CARRERA 4S same design as on the engine cover. Another thing to put on my checklist prior to writing check at delivery. crg

This forum is very helpfu. I spec'd a C4S for a May build last week and was told that I could not get stainles sills with the illuminated logo, so will now call the dealer and inform the rep of my finding. Also wa stold that there is no deviating stiching option in the 997 C4S, at least as of last week.
