C2S VS. C4S styling

It is just more or does the C4S look a lot better to me with those wide hipe and the light bar? I feel like it adds a uniqueness to the car and stands out more. Don't get me wrong, the C2S is gorgeous and not trying to bash anyone else's car, but I love the C4S. Mine went into the body shop August 30th, so I'm expecting it in about a month or so.

I love the wider hips, but I'm not a fan of the light bar.

I totally agree. If I were to order a white or silver 991, I'd want clear tail lights and you can't get them in the C4 because of the light bar.

Light bar is what makes it unique and IMO clear tailights look too ricey.

Fester, I totally agree. I am not a rice rabbit fan.

Personally the extra 1.5 inch width is virtually unnoticeable except to the owner. If you really want a wider stance, get a CGT at over 76" wide.
A 4S is great where the weather calls for it. Here in Florida, I spent the extra $6K on performance options. Just my .02.

I like the C4S a lot, but ordered a 2S, primarily because of cost. Enjoy yours!

However I do have a C4S at home with REALLY wide hips and a coke bottle figure. The two will make a nice pair.

Just seen them side by side at the dealer and even then it's barely noticeable because of the smooth lines. But for me, it's the light bar and the all wheel drive that I can't get with. Just always preferred a rwd setup.

I agree that clear tail lamps look 'ricey' on dark cars but I think they compliment a white or silver car nicely. If anyone has a pic of a white or silver 991 with clear tail lights, please post them here.

Regarding the C4S vs the C2S... The lightbar is one of the main reasons why I ordered a C4S... And also the AWD of course, which for a matter of fact, you don't even notice when driving. System feels 95% of the time like a RWD, only when the car starts to loose traction, you feel the frontwheels pull you out of a corner. Nice thing is that the system allows you to play with the car, just like it is a C2S. It senses the difference between an "emergency" and when you want to play. System really is smarter than a lot of people on this planet...

+1 on the wider fenders and I love the light bar, especially at night.

love the wider hips, I think it's more noticeable in dark colors and the light bar sets it off perfectly

people say they prefer the RWD but when I flip on the display more than 90% of the power is always at the rear wheels anyway according to the display anyways. But bought it for the deep snow we get up north of the border.

I might put a sticker between the two lights on my C2S, I wonder how that would look.
