Help me build the dream C4S coupe...

I'm leaning towards a white C4S now as a daily driver (vs Aston Martin, Turbo, or Cayenne).

Few things I already know i like, most of them on this car: http://pioneer.porschedealer.com/new...ntoryid=245538

Like aero kit, black rims, sport exhaust, etc.

I also know i want a coupe and tip.

Let the replys come...

I dont think that the PSE is that important because i think that its best to go with aftermarket for exhaust. Check out the videos of the 997 on Fabspeed and AWE website for sound clips.

But the 997 in the linked that you provided looks great, u should just get that one...

good luck,

BD

No 'trips' really. Any fun drives will be GT only, track will be GT, etc. I think mainly for getting in and out of the city and errands -- plus to be cool

A white exterior with a Natural Brown interior would be awesome.

Seems like PCCB would be overkill here?

I like the one you have picked out except for the blacked-out oem wheels. I personally think some nice, clean silver/brushed wheels would look better. Just my opinion of course

As for PCCB's, I think it would be overkill for street use. Since I LOVE the yellow calipers, I would just paint the stockers to imitate. Good luck with your build!

Yes IMHO. Not a necessity for a daily.

The car you found is really nice. The white seat backs really set it off for me with the white faced instrument dials. I feel the black interior is perfect for this car. White outer and black interior will be the easist to keep clean as a daily drive no doubt about that! I usually like black wheels with a polished lip but the stock lobster claw wheels just do not look good to me. I would see if they would wsap you out for the Carrera Classic 5 spokes or the Carrera Sport wheels. BTW the sports wheel are larger in the back...305's vs the 295's on the other wheels! Or if the $$$ is no problem go with some nice open wheels with a nice lip on the.
Have fun!
