got that C4S!

Some of you might remember my thread, I was the guy with the m coupe asking about the C4S.

Picked her up last night, a 2003 C4S in Midnight blue with grey interior. Needless to say Im pretty excited, it only had 6190 miles! Just broken in.

Got pretty lucky, I had called a local dealer looking for a C4S, they had just gotten it as a trade in and it was never even listed. I first test drove it before it was CPO'd and even cleaned. So that was the bad part, I had to wait from saturday to monday so they could do the CPO cert and detail it.

They even slapped on some euro side markers and bumper plugs for me.

Can't wait to take it for a real drive!

It seems there is a lot of SF Bay Area here, any place to check for local meets/drives?

So here are some pics from before it was detailed (kinda dirty).. can't wait to take some proper pics.

Hope you got a great price from Carlsen. Brian in service is on this board and he'll treat you right if you ever need any service or repair.

Since your GF will take the car snowboarding 6x a year, I'd suggest:

1. Snow tires - don't drive on summer tires in snow and end up in a wreck!
2. Clear Bra - Sam from Premiere is local and very reputable (a board sponsor I believe)
3. Roof rack from Porsche

If I were you, I'd rent an SUV for snowboarding since I am **** about getting the car dirty and rock chips.

Great stuff Kem and way to go on a first Porsche Best looking 996 in terms of the lines etc... Try leaving it alone!

Regarding your PM to me earlier... I'd do an SSK, exhaust and intake but no wing Keep the lines of the C4S...
