Re: Would You Do a Color Change?

Under what circumstances would you consider a color change? I personally think a color change on a car like a 996 Turbo only makes sense if: There is a color you just must have... It would be virtually impossible to find/buy a car in that color... The cost of a really good paint job is a non-issue....

Re: Help needed regarding M96 Serial Number

You can also get such a document from Suncoast called Suncoast Vin Service. Maybe $15. Cover original build info, serial numbers, options...I thought it was well worth the money.

Re: Official "Personalized Plates" Thread

https://996outpost.com/download/file.php?id=504 I noticed your plate earlier on another thread... Figured it was a photo reference before I saw the 8x10, wallet, etc. Young-uns who grew up on digital probably look at it and think 'man, that guy's got a really small turbo charger on his Porsche"...

Re: The Black Sheep, 996 Revelations - 1998 Porsche 911

i also love the no rear bumperettes on the euro cars...

Did a bumperette delete on the turbo. Haven't paint matched it yet, but still like it better than stock.

Did it for cosmetics, not weight savings, but those suckers are 3.5 pounds!

Re: 996 C2 w/Boxster Wheels

I loved the 997 wheels I put on my 2004 996 C2...

To me, those boxsta' wheels look forked up.

Re: Early 911 photos

Why does it bother me far more that I sold my gorgeous SC well before its prime then not buying twice as much TSLA at$30?

Re: Oil Level Indicator on the Dash is reading LOW after Oil change

^^^ ...as mentioned above, overfilling is potentially more damaging than underfilling... I'm not saying let your oil go dry, but as long as you have *any* bars above the min line, you are pretty much good to go.
