Thumbs up Another Newb

Hello everyone

Purchased a 996 C4S about 5 months ago, my first ever Porsche, and couldn't be happier

Currently it has a flat, battleship grey vinyl wrap, Agency Power headers & exhaust, GMG World Challenge roll cage, KW V3 coilovers and 19x9.5 & 19x12.5 Rotiform DAB's.

I still have a few plans for the car for springtime, but here's a couple pics for now:





As well as others on here, I come from an Audi background. Here's my previous project that has since been sold:



I'm excited about the car, the community and being able to contribute in any way possible.

Cheers!

Hey Buddy! Welcome.

I think the first thing you'll notice about this place compared to the VW/Audi forums we're accustomed to is that most of the people here have a pretty decent grasp of spelling, punctuation and grammar.

That's a relief

I don't know the exact color name, but the interior is all red. And by all red, I mean ALL red.

Like the wrap. I am doing the hood wrap for my car too. Not too hard really.

Your Porsche looks mean, lowered and ready to do battle. Welcome to Rennlist.

Congrat's on the great looking C4S Greg. I'm also a newb owner and new to Rennlist. We should meet up sometime and compare notes. I'm in Seattle as well.

Your car looks great. Welcome to RL! I think you'll find that this is a great community. I also picked up my '04 C4S Cab about 5 months ago. I can't believe it's been that long already! I've loved every minute of it. Btw, what kind of wheels are those in the 2nd pic?
