Hi all,

I got on this board a few months ago because I was shopping for my first p-car. Since then, I've pulled the trigger and have been looking at the DIY articles, upgrade options, etc. I will likely remain in lurk mode, but I wanted to thank the board collectively for (1) contributing input on the wide variety of subjects so that us newbies can become better informed, and (2) tolerating the repeated questions.

I bought a guards red 2006 S with 42k miles and have since swapped the orange side markers with clears, powder coated the rims gloss black, and rebadged it with gloss black emblems.

I love the car and now understand what all the hoopla's about with these cars.

Thanks again for making/keeping the information available!

 

Nice. These cars look great in so many colors. Guards red is one for sure.

Congrats.

 

Welcome... G-Red on black is a classic combo.

 

Congrats!!!

 

So nice!

 

Congrats. I've had my 06 C2S cab, with just over 40k miles now, for 3 years and love it every time I get in it. Enjoy that car!

 

Another Rennlist success story!

Looks like the photo shoot was following a wash - rusty rotors are a dead giveaway. Now get rid of that rust on a nice spirited drive

Very nice combo(red/black).

 

Congrats! I hope to be a success story as well when I trade in my 987 for a 997.2. Your car looks great!

Enjoy in good health.

Wow! Just wow! I had always considered red a sacrilegious color on a Porsche but every time I see one in red, I love it. Great choice.

Try experimenting with some black stone guards ($65 for the pair at Suncoast) and see if you like? Might be a good addition with those wheels and easy to take off if you don't like.

Great car!

Guilty as charged. In my defense, I did take it to Austin this weekend to watch grand Am racing at COTA. Pretty cool to see, that was my first time watching anything other than 1/4mi drag races live. Took my car onto an 80mph (suggested limit?) road near Austin. Needless to say, the rotors are now rust free.

Thanks! I didn't love it with the silver wheels, but now that they are black I really do.

I might - saw that combo on an older targa but didn't love it. Didn't know it was easy to undo though.

 

Great looking car! Love the rear wiper!

 

Welcome.....love the color

 

Ditto - I can't recall seeing the rear wiper before.

Nice car - congrats!

 

Nice work!
