Nice! Although on white, it's hard to tell if surface is clean/waxed or not sometimes. I always wished I had a white 996.

What tips are those and have you scraped the bottom of those yet?

Nice!!! I love the "small aero wing" on the coupe - even though it's usually associated with the Cabrio...If I ever do a fixed wing, that's be the one I get...

A beauty, worth holding out for. As Alpine said, I also wish it gone white too.

Is the engine lid emblem been replaced, it looks like a carbon fiber Porsche.
I like it a lot!! I have the black Carrera on my 2003 with the same wing and was considering changing it to what you have, do have a picture of the car from the back?
Thanks
David

Yes, the engine lid emblem was replaced. it took me a couple of hours to measured each letter until I got it right, and is black not carbon fiber.

Very nice! Is the car lowered at all and do you have spacers, or.....? Stance is real nice.

And what would the technical name of the wing be?

I have only see two other cars besides yours and mine with that kit.
It is called "Carrera Aero" instead of Aero Kit II, because of the wing used.
The Carrera Wing alone was $3500 option in 2003

Thank you for the correction, I was just going by what the previous owner had the car listed for. He also had the side skirts installed. BTW Your car looks great also, very clean!

What cleaning/waxing products did use? My c4s has been neglected for some time and need to prepare for the British winter now setting in.
