Hi everyone, I recently got the car of my dreams, a 996 C4S. My only regret is that I didn't get one sooner! So far the only things I've done to it is get the CD's with the new maps for the PCM2 and put aluminum pedals. I'm planning on getting a different suspension setup to lower the car a bit and reduce the gap between the fender and the wheels. Another thing that the car needs is to have a good detail. You can see tons of micro scratches on the paint from poor washing/drying techniques. Anyone knows a good detailer in Sacramento, CA?
Here are some pictures of the car.

I forgot that I also have Darin's stage 2 mufflers on the car and they sound awesome.

Thanks guys. The cra is an '03 and had high miles when I got it (69k) but had been regularly maintained and passed the PPI inspection with flying colors. The higher miles actually makes me feel confident that the engine is strong and properly maintained. Again, this is my first Porsche and for $30k it's a lot of car. The interior is in great condition too although when I took the pictures it was a bit dirty.

The cars you have here are amazing! Hopefully my car will look half as good as yours.

The pedals were very easy to install. The only difficult one is the brake pedal because it's metal but a sharp/new drill bit helps a lot.
