This is not a probability of success.

But it was my understanding they use the same type of mounts and that the dimensions are the same.

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.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi, Does the 996 Turbo deck lid fit on my 996 C4? Thanks Peter

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks. Any aftermarket for C4?

POST 4Original post

There's plenty. C2 and C4 are the same. 996tt and C4S are the same. Cabriole are by themselves

POST 5Original post

You sure about that Trendy? Even though the C4S and TT deck lids are different in design, I've seen several people mount them on narrow body Carreras. That is the bottom portion of the lid is curved in to support the center reflector of the C4S and the TT is blank, but has the lifting spoiler unlike the C4S. But it was my understanding they use the same type of mounts and that the dimensions are the same. Yes, the C4S and TT are wide bodies, but those cars are extended at the fenders. Am I wrong on this?

POST 6Original post

As an owner of a 2003 C4S who has bought and tried to install a Turbo lid. It does NOT fit. The C4S has a larger third brake light panel under the rear window then the Turbo which has no third brake light. That makes the Turbo lid about an inch longer. The width is the same.

POST 7Original post

It won't fit without significant modification. It can be done by cutting the turbo deck lid down to fit. The problem with that solution is the lines of the deck lid look funny when it's finished. They don't match the lines of the narrow body cars, especially on the bottom by the bumper.

POST 8 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Any experience with this? http://www.gettydesign.com/996_tailbases.php#turbostyle or this? http://mashaw.biz/996Turbofor996.asp

POST 9Original post

The Turbo lid is a direct bolt on to the 996 C4S Cabriolet body. The struts hit the airbox and the SAI pump brackets need locating in the engine compartment.

POST 10Original post

I guess bc I've seen it done. Seems the person went through some modifying to achieve it. Always love to learn more about what swaps over and what doesn't bc it doesn't happen much with porsches lol
