When they painted the grills, they should have continued on to paint the lower skirts.....

I like the car however I have one comment... Porsche has always stated that changing the front end or the wing on the car will inversely effect the aerodynamics and may cause concerns at high speed. Well they changed the front without changing the rear of the car...

Nader, isn' t that what they've been doing all along...

on the 996 C4S? Turbo front end with standard rear spoiler. I thought the anniversary edition also had the wide rear body, just not the turbo spoiler.

Yes, 03, you're right

I just looked up the C4S photo on the Porsche web site, and noticed that the rear has a distinct flare-out just behind the back of the door, which the anniversary edition doesn't. Also missing is the C4s center reflector, but I thought they just left that out.

I think I read somewhere that the rear wing on the C4S deploys to a different position than the normal C2 wing. This might be to counteract the turbo front of the C4S...
