I just bought my first 996–a 2003 C4S coupe with 58K miles. Black with brown interior. I am having the IMS changed out immediately, as well as changing out the wheels to some five spoke Fuchs lookalikes (the wheels on it now we’re chromed—not my thing.) I plan on adding some new coco mats or sisal mats and doing something with the exhaust as well. This is my third 911 and fifth Porsche. First was an ‘86 coupe. Second was a 2015 coupe. Both were black. We currently have a 2016 Macan Turbo (my wife’s car) which is fantastic in every way.

Looks great! I love the "Natural Leather" interior... Is it "full leather" as well (judging by what I can see of the dash, it looks like it)? Good luck with it!

Beautiful combo! Don't see that much on the 996s for whatever reason. Enjoy her! Love my C4S.

Welcome to 996 land, so glad to see so many P-cars in your family fleet over time, well done! Great looking car, any pics of the interior?

hands down my favorite color combo. I looked for one of these for a year and couldn’t find. If it happens to have deviated carpet (black) I’m super jealous. Welcome and please post more pix!

I’m fairly certain all C4s cars are full leather, never seen one without - seems odd me telling you something though, lol. Mark listen to this dude, dporto is the resident 996 guru and his input here has taught me tons.
