Hi, does the engine lid and spoiler from a 996 GT3 year 2000 (99651290191) fit directly on a 996 C2 3.6l 2002?

Yes but you also have to swap air boxes. The air intake are on opposite sides for the C2 and GT3.
POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post
so according to included pictures below this is not an original GT3 engine lid with spoiler?
POST 4Original post
That is correct. Someone put a poser GT3 badge on it. The taco is for MK1 996's.

Worst. Wing. Ever.
POST 6 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post
why is it the "worst wing ever", because of the look or does it not create any more DF ? I think the C2 looks much better with a fixed wing instead of the original one. I really wanted the Misha GT2M but it is not available in Sweden/Europe.

Nah, it's a good and will create more DF, either you like it or not, there's no in between. I like it. It's also adjustable to add more DF.
POST 8Original post
Don't just get the taco though, get the whole aero. And it's clearly..for the 996... Best. Wing. Ever.
POST 9Original post
I should have been more specific, to me, that's the Ugliest. Wing. Ever.
POST 10Original post
Because it doesn't look like every other "plank on posts" wing out there and has some personality and elegance?
POST 11Original post
But if you go with that wing, I'm taking the factory side skirts off my car. I'll sell them cheap!

Nope. Because it looks like every other aero car out there and TO ME looks like it belongs on the back of a Mitsubishi to finish off some ill fitting body kit. No personality and definitely not elegant. Again, these are opinions and you can love it all you want and I won't be upset. I just think they cheapen the looks of the car.
POST 13Original post
Love the look of the taco. Two thumbs up

This ^^! I may be a little biased, however
POST 15Original post
I like the 996 MK I aero kit, including the taco wing!
POST 16Original post
I like the duck tail wing on the csr 996 best , the taco is just a bit too " loud shirt" for me .
POST 17Original post
OP you're answer is yes, it's a direct swap since that's not a gt3 lid.

+996 You can pick out all the original and Porsche exclusive design bits throughout the entire 911 lineage and this is one of them. 50 years from now, if you showed an enthusiast a taco wing, they'll know exactly which manufacturer it was from.
POST 19Original post
I like the taco and full aerokit as well, but I'm a bit biased!
POST 20Original post
IMHO the Taco wing and Aero Kit complete the 996 design. Without them it looks rather plain. I'm biased also.

Definitely biased myself, but that's my feeling. I see non-aero 996+ and they just look naked without the wing. I don't seem to have that issue with the older variants though.
