Default (Finally) Introduction Post: My New (to me) '07 C2S
Hi everyone,

I've posted in a few threads here and gotten some great advice from Rennlisters already, and finally got around to making an introduction thread that I'm really trying hard to not make into a build thread

Bought the car about a month ago, and since then have done a mild Window tint and added a set of oem Turbo II widebody wheels which were bought from an excellent fellow local Rennlister (thank you, TenYears). I was apprehensive about widebody fitment but they are just perfect, no regrets. Much more contemporary than the lobster claws and the color match is a welcome bonus.

The car is a Meteor Grey Carrera S with a whopping 39,000 miles on the clock. It has the sport seats, sport chrono, sport exhaust, pasm. Interior is black and extremely clean, but I don't have any good photos at hand at the moment.

Next plans= upgrade stock stereo to a more modern navigation/bluetooth unit. Also plan on removing the Carrera S badges and changing to "911S" with red S.

Thanks in advance for all the help I'm sure to get from you all!

Nice. I like my 911 with red S

Did the car come from Germany with those wheels?

Nope, came with lobster claws which I still have. These are Turbo II's off a 911 turbo

Nice ride...red "S" has a nice contrast.

Also swap out your amber side markers for clear.

Gah I'm a dummy. I just ordered emblems from Suncoast and totally forgot to add those to the list. Definitely happening soon!

I really like them, and they look awesome, especially on this color car.

I really really like your sport designs though, one of my favorite wheels. I don't think you can go wrong either way.
