Default Well, I did it.....a new 996 owner



Well, I have been wanting to own a 996 C4S cab for some time and have been looking around. I guess this financial meltdown pushed me to make the move. Hell, if my moneys going to go down, it might as well be in a fun depreciating asset that I get enjoyment for my lost value!

So, I just bought a 2004 C4S cab in Polar Silver with black leather interior with the aluminum look package. I pick her up on Saturday.

Here are the photos....and while I at it, can you guys recommend a great kit that I can buy online to replace the pumpkins?

really good looking set up, tough looking P-car with a soft side... great color too!!

I bought mine on ebay, they are OK, I would wait till you find genuine Porsche. ALSO get the silver bulbs from http://xenonmods.com/newporschedecal.htm
this will make the most of the de-amber project.

I bet you are having fun. Dont worry about the repeated trips to the garage for no reason and the constant staring at the car. That is normal.
