Off topic, but I noticed the two RS's in you avatar. Which color looks better in person? I've never seen the green before.
Thanks,

That’s really a matter of personal preference; the Green car shown is the Sharkwerks car “Kermit”. I have had quit a love affair with Kermit and logged many a spirited miles on some very twisty Northern Ca. back roads; I love Kermit as my own!! However if I were going to purchase a 997.1 RS, which I plan to at some point, it would be a pumpkin and without hesitation it would be sent to Alex and James to become a 3.9, with new RSS suspension parts and a few other secret mods in order to get it to perform to the level of my current GT3 and Kermit!! I love punkin’s!! No disrespect to Kermit intended!!!

I love the orange too. I currently have black, but grow tired of keeping it clean. The silver looks great too. So hard to pick a color that you won't get tired of and is easy to maintain.

The question implied that C2 and 4S were same width. That's why my thorough answer was best!
