Bought this 09 C2S Cabriolet recently and have been using 6speed and Rennlist to learn and educate myself (similar post is on Rennlist). You guys have really saved me some money with the excellent DIY's. Even though my car only had 8700 miles on it, the 4 yr major maintenance was due. Dealer quotes were from $1000 to $1200 so I decided to at least do some of it myself like oil change, air filters, cabin filter, and brake fluid flush. The only thing I don't feel comfortable with is the spark plug change. It seems ridiculous to me to change plugs at now 10K miles but dealer says it is mandatory to maintain CPO. Anyway, here are a few of the mandatory photos:

 

And by the way, in my avatar is the other playtoy, a 96 993 turbo.


One more of the 997:

 

Great looking car !

Congrats !

although i am not a fan of side stickers ala-Ferrari, it looks pretty clean on your car.

Enjoy !

 

Very clean pick up! Would love to see some of the 993 turbo!

 

Very nice, especially the black paint guards around the rear wheels.

Question...did the Porsche badges on the two sides (front) come standard or was that a after-market add-on? It looks great therefore I ask.

 

Where can we buy those side badges? The car looks amazing!!

 

Ditto. They look awesome. Beautiful car!

 

Your wish is my command:

 

You mean the Black Stone Guards?
Got mine from Suncoast.

 

The stone guards and the shields came from www.magnagrafik.com. Dan Porter is great to work with and is a Porsche guy (owns a 930). They are all magnetic which I prefer because they can be removed for a different look or for detailing (no wax buildup around the edges). Not sure if shields are on the website but you can email Dan at info@magnagrafik.com for more info.

 

hey man, great cars both of them....Is Dan local to Marion, I get through that way at times, I'm closer to Greensboro but that isn't a long trip for me, for the right guy...I LOVE the idea of them being magnetic too.

 

Its absolutely gorgeous !!

wanna trade ?

 

Pretty cars indeed! What springs are you running on the turbo? Looks low and mean!

 

Sweet color combo and beautiful 993!!! Love the black stone guard on your car.

 

Love both cars but I think your 993 is going to get all the attention in this thread!
