Hi mixedmac,

Thanks!!!

The flooring is a very durable vinyl tile and comes in 18" squares so installation is very simple. The tiles can be cut or scribed and snapped to the required size. A bonus is the material really insulates the cold from the cement so those long nights on under the car aren't so bad. One recommendation, install the tiles on a warm day and not in the cold. The adhesive will initially stick better and the tiles will not buckle when the hot weather comes due to slight expansion. I bought the materials from Lowes. The checked strip on the wall is a 6" adhesive border material found in the wall paper section also at Lowes.

I was real pleased on how well my 05 came out with the mods. The GT3 bumper cover really makes a huge difference in appearance. As much as I loved the 05 C2, I could not be more pleased with my new C4S!

I sold the C2 to the dealer as they offered a very fair price and were good to me with the purchase of my new ride.

That picture of my C4S was taken with my phone on a rainy day and does not do the car justice. I will take better pictures soon and will share with all!
So after having a GT3 front bumper once, do you think you would do it again? Probably wasn't much of a problem since the first C2 was not lowered, but I think the car needs to be slightly.

Hi Piper,

Yes I would add the GT3 bumper again and probably will sometime after the Holidays! IMO I believe a car with the GT3 front needs a rear wing to compliment it. I just have not decided what to do. I really like the clean sexy lines on the 911 without a wing. However with the wider rear fenders, I would love to add the GT3 RS wing!

So many decisions. . . so little money!

Oh... and yes, my previous C2 was not lowered yet one still has to be careful not to rub. I have had little issue from my many years of driving low-slung sports cars.
