  1. Hi, I'm a 911 newbie, just acquired a 2000 Millenium 996 with 50K miles. I've read so much about the IMS and RMS that I'm stressing. was originally considering the monitoring device, but have just about decided to go ahead and have the ceramic aftermarket just done (with RMS, might as well). Looks to be just under $3K. Feels like a lot, but I don't want this detracting from my enjoyment of the car. Thoughts?

  3. Hey,. Just because this is my first Porsche, and this was a dream since I saw my first one in Berlin Germany when I was 11 and I grew up a motor head kid in NY. This thing is amazing. The driving experience is so engaging and in the moment. No need to have the radio on, the motor provides the music. Happy to put the windows down and hear the sound reflect off parked cars as you go by. Forget being on the phone. (Goodness, best part!!). Able to not be on conference calls in a car that might as well be your living room from the perspective of engagement. The wish that I could tell my uncle I finally have one, since he was a Swiss stage actor who had a new one every two years (not leased). Sadly passed before I did. He would have been SO happy. Just need to tell a community that "gets it" how this car is EVERYTHING I dreamed it would be. Man, I feel lucky. Xena
  4. super, thanks! While 996s are still going down, it won't be that way forever. Did you do an aftermarket IMS on yours? how about the RMS? I'm toying with installing an IMS monitoring system - have you?
  5. The Porsche dealer I bought from say the rims can be refinished in silver or black, at around $1000. Also, technically, Porsche does not describe these rims as chrome, that's just what the finish looks like. (believe someone earlier included that thought in the string) Lastly, I actually agree - the chrome wheels were unexpected for me but came with the Millennium package. I won't be tracking this car, so for me the interior was the most important, and I love this one of a kind color (more caramel than the two tan interior that have been offered on the 911. per the info above, I think re-chroming (which I think would need to be done in California) could impact the overall rim spec. Any thoughts on impact to long term value for rims that are not the stock (visually) a the chrome appearance 18 inch turbo look rims that were the original equipment? might help me decide what to do. thanks!!
  6. I've got #696, and they are flaking too. Just got it, will drive it a bit, then decide what to do. What have you guys done, given some years have passed?
