Talking Greetings everyone!

New member here. Just wanted to say hello to everyone and introduce myself. I recently picked up a meteor grey '07 C4S. I jumped ship from the ///M family, and while I do miss my E46 M3, there are no words that can describe the feeling of driving my new (to me) 911!

Congrats! I graduated from an e36 M3 to a 996 and now in a 997. World of difference.

You have a Beautiful car. I still drive my e46 (non-M) as my DD. But love my 997.

Used to think that e46 was a sporty car, luxorious, and practical pre-911.

Now my e46 is just a compact sedan.

Thank you everyone! Yes, the wheels are AG Ruger Mesh. Looking for a set of Black BBS CH-R's at a decent price, or paint these AG Ruger Mesh wheels all black. I have a FisterD exhaust coming in this week that I'm looking forward to.

Here's another pic, not a great pic, but I'll be sure to take better ones and post.

Welcome... Great color/car. Im an 08 4s...slate grey.


Other than Darin Fister cans (LOVE mine), what are your plans for the car?
What is your mileage?


Do you work on your own stuff?

68.8k miles with no real plans for the car as of now. For now I just want a set of black wheels (BBS CH-R) and possibly a spoiler (ducktail perhaps). I want to keep it fairly stock as it'll be my daily driver aside from occasional PCA DE track events. I already have Satellite Radio installed as well as Bluetooth via TranzItBLU so entertainment is pretty well taken cared of.

I don't do my own stuff....yet. I feel like that's going to change with this vehicle, particularly with DIY maintenance, but it all seems a bit overwhelming. Thank goodness there are some nice write-ups on this website.

Very nice. Since you're shopping for black wheels, here's a picture of my -09 meteor C4S with black HRE P40's for your reference. Really changes the car compared to silver wheels.
