I recently discovered that neither of my 3rd brake lights are coming on. This is a new problem and I have never noticed before. Any common issues/troubleshooting with these? Also, what fuse are they on (not on same one as other brake lights as I checked)? Both brake lights work along with all other lighting on the car. Is it possible that both lighting grids went out simultaneously? Possibly brake light switch at pedal? Thank you for your help.
I have a 1999 Carerra C2, 81k, completely factory.
I did do a couple of searches but to no avail so if someone knows of a previous post and can point me to the right direction that would be much appreciated.

Well, I like the wing for whatever that is worth. I would leave the factory bumper though. Not a big fan of the turbo slats.

Don't use your pockets. Give all personal items to girlfriend/wife and let her put them in her purse. If girlfriend/wife is not available, use door storage areas for keys, coins, Colibri lighter, cigars, etc... :)
I am just kidding you of course! I often say a few choice words when I drop something under my seat but no quick fixes that I know of.

Another option used when I used to do wheels and tires back in the day, is RTV sealant. Definitely heat and oil resistant and easy to remove at a later point and then re-do. Always seemed to work well.

I just bought the Bridgestone Potenza RE-01Rs. Will let you know how I like them. Just pitched the prior owners Yoko's. I forget which tire model but the seemed to push too much in the curvies.
So concerning tire pressure recommendations...? Being new to the car I have not put it through all of its paces. I am under the impression however that many drivers tend to run too much pressure.
Albeit I can understand this on the street if you are to and fro work what have you, but what are your takes on the performance end as it relates to handling and braking?

Loren,
I just purchased a 1999 C2 and am loving it. Haven't even thought about the radio all week but I would like to activate without paying $44 to the dealer. The previous original owner did not have radio manual or code card. I appreciate your help!

Try 9224
or
9222
Unfortunately neither worked. Thanks for your help nevertheless.
Loren,
Just FYI, it ended up being 9324. Thanks for your time and effort.

I just replaced Bridgestone Potenza with Michelin PS2 and have noticed they are quieter.
Brimwin,
Whats your take on a grip comparison?

Mikke996,
Your car looks fantastic! My question is, did you notice a substantial difference in handling either for the better or worse? I am considering 19s although I am a little concerned about taking some handling ability off the car and may just go with 18s.
