    Brand new here-need help!

    Hi Guys, this is my first post.

    I'm buying a 2001 996 Turbo, and I've made the deal. I'm going to close early tommorrow. It's a beautiful low mileage car, and I'm quite excited about it.

    The one thing I don't understand is this. This Turbo has, on all 4 corners of the top (roof) area, small inserts, measuring about 1/2 inch by 4 inch (est) that are painted body color.

    I want to make sure these are original. I don't know or understand what they are for, but, otherwise, the car is perfect. The owner didn't know what there were.

    But, I want to make sure we don't have some sort of "modification" here.

    Please help soon,

    Tnx, Bill

    If they are "in" the roof lining, then they are probably the slots for a roof rack/bike carrier if you ever needed one. They are stock slots, and you can get the OEM racks/carriers through Porsche

    Post some pics of your new car when you get it too.....

    Congrats Bill on your 996TT purchase,

    And welcome aboard. Hopefully, the car's mileage isn't TOO LOW so that it isn't broken in yet. That way you can stomp on the throttle from day 1.

    And yes, pics please.

    Welcome to Rennteam and to Porsche turbo ownership. Post pictures asap.;)
