Many others say that adding the self-dimming mirrors gives you the wiring in the lighting fixture for the hard wired Valentine1 radar detector.

I have the option and use it here and there. There is a nice off/on button when you want to use it.

What spacers would you all suggest for the c4s? Would 7mm h & r's all around look good? Or is there a better way to go.

The speaker grills and areas next to them are not in leather either. Porsche's notion of "Full leather" is no where near what it used to be.

The short shifter is a dealer-install now.
Dan - IIRC, I recently read here (997 Forum) that the short shifter is back on the list of available factory options.

I think the 17mm spacers are normal for the C4S cars.

I think the 17mm spacers are normal for the C4S cars.
But is that 17mm spacers in both the front and rear? I assume its only in the back. Does porsche use any spacers as standard because of the extra width of the 4S?
Also does anyone know what width tires are on the 997 turbo, I love the look of big fat tires and was wondering if they were the same on the 997 4s as on the turbo.
