Just wanted to post a couple shots of my recently acquired 03 996 C4S. BBS wheels have been added (although these shots were just after installation and before the car had resettled on the suspension) and a handful of choice personal touches are on the To-Do list.

I always was a fan of yellow, but never could pull the trigger on picking one up. Looks great! Have fun with it.

You can install all sorts of aftermarket parts, gains will be little comparing to money spent.

Desiring more HP, get a turbo, even a 996 TT is faster than a 997 C4S.

Well I picked up an 03' C2 with sport seats and made the dealer swap out the twists for the skinny 5 spoke "performance" wheels for free along with tires and a free 60,000 mile service so I am pretty damn happy... It has been a week and I am still grinning ear to ear everywhere I go.... Not a C4s as originally planned, but overall am pretty happy with the Very Inexpensive car I picked up... Cheers!!

Wasn't expecting rain yesterday but turned out nice! The 4s sure handles nice in these conditions.

Love the rims and front diffuser. Where did you get the front diffuser, I'd like to also add one?

Cheers....Chris

I picked up the front lip on the internet. Make sure you get the Urethane type to avoid cracking it if you nudge up to one of those parking blocks. Cheapest costing and most bang for the buck, should be around $100.00 GL...

Did you do the wrapping yourself? Debating on this for a bit. Thanks

I do the wrapping myself with assistance from an expert. It is easier than it seems. The rims are plastidip. Not sure if its possible to wrapp them nicely.

Your wheels look great with the plastidip. Good job.
