Hi, Any idea why some 996 have their rear badge above the rear crease on the boot, whereas others have them below the crease? Cheers

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

facelift and non-facelift I believe... Facelift below the 'hump', non above... I could be wrong though :dont know:
POST 3Original post
I have noticed this too. After a quick google image search I'd say it is not anything to do with facelift. Perhaps it is down to whether a midget is working on the Porsche factory line that day! I need to re-badge my rear, I will be going on the above-crease option.

From what I've gathered from other sites Alot of people change the badge and re-position hence why you may see it all over the shop for different years.

Hi, I can see from your photo that the badge is below the crease in the boot (engine cover).

Yes, I KNOW what a saddo I am...... It IS a facelift thing, but there are a couple of exceptions to the rule - C4Ss and 04- cars with aerokits. The possibilities for the Carrera badge are: C2 - up to 01 - Black - Upper C2 - 02 on - Black - Lower C2 w/aerokit - 04 on - Black - Upper C4 - up to 01 - Silver - Upper C4 - 02 on - Silver - Lower C4 w/aerokit - 04 on - Silver - Upper C4S - 02 on - Silver - Upper

Top marks again Richard, that's awesome knowledge. What got me thinking was looking at Scott's HD1 (04 car with badge above the crease) versus my car (03 car below crease). I guess Scott's must have an aerokit, versus my Targa (that doesn't). Unless cabs all had the badge above the crease. It just seems a little odd as (IMO) I think the badge looks better below the crease, but then again, now that I own a narrow bodied 996, I also think they look better than the wide bodied (flabby!) 996. But I know for a fact that before I bought my Targa, I preferred the C4S (but it wouldn't fit in the garage). The probably makes no sense at all, but I guess I'm saying that you get familiar with the item and eventually it looks normal. Cheers.

Don't start a Kylie vs. J-Lo discussion, for goodness sake. The only subject which gets more opinions is the 993 vs. 996 debate!

Cheers GD! :thumb:

I've an 04 C4S and the badge is on the lower section, under the engine cover. Mine's either an exception, a C4 in disguise or has had some rear end work? :roll:
