I put the snow tires/wheels back on the 4S today. Planning a road trip to Sonoma, Ca this weekend with some snow in the forecast over the I80 summit on Saturday. Thanks to tips I found on the forum I transferred my center caps to the winter wheels, very simple.

yes, I put them on all my cars. "R" compound tires throw up lots of trash that will quickly make a mess of the lower portion of the rear quarter panels

Where did you find the mudflaps? I think they're cool and appear to be usefully functional.

O'reilly auto parts .I trimmed them a little. I think they were $6.95 for the pair, I got the smallest ones. As they come you can see the obvious area I trimmed off ( where the thickness differs. I drilled and used sheet metal screws (four come with the set and I have found three per fender work best.) I simply drilled in the plastic fender portion that is directly behind the tire and screwed them in. I then put a dab of epoxy on the screws to hold them in. Never had a problem trading in a car with them on and several of my friends have me install them on concours cars.

Added the chrome (thanks, Suncoast Parts) "Porsche" and underneath it-- "911 S" to my 08 C2S....the old script was cracked and looked sort of sad....this new chrome against the Cobalt Blue looks very cool....

And then, last weekend- added 2-4 lbs per tire....weather is waaay too crappy to drive,so....DC area has been busy with snow & ice since 1/1/14....

IS IT APRIL YET??

Replaced the Mann charcoal cabin filter (which was in fine shape) with the cheap paper one - seeing if I can get a few more liters per minute out of the vents.

Stalled in traffic on the way to work, when I went to start it it felt it was not going to start. Does all 4S sound require a couple of turn over to start it ?

My key fell apart !! and the transponder flew off. Had some nerve racking moments before I managed to start it.

No. It should kick right over just like any car, and like any car, Extreme cold can cause harder starting, but not after its warm. Since you stalled, it might have been a fuel starvation thing. See if it goes away.
