For one the hinges have to be replaced on c2 for the trunk lid to even close .

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.

can you explain what modification were required ?
I have seen a similar car down here in Florida in Homestead.
Looks weird but it is always nice to use OEM
The wheels look nice too, are these 18" or 19"? Ruf or Ruf "style"?
EDIT: Just read through your blog and see they are 19", the 997 conversion job is good too, thought about myself also but now I know how much work is involved so will likely just buy a 997 (Turbo?
) later on than go through the conversion effort/expense now.
convertion to 997 would be a great post if further detailled. I assume you have to be a body shop person to attempt it, but if a good DIY was written I think more people would do it. It is a 'fun' project
even though it is clearly cheaper to sell your 996 and buy a 997
I have a couple of questions.
1) does the trunk lid fit on the sides? Is it only the length that needs cutting?
2) is the trunk fid fiberglass? It looks like the cuts didn't need body work or paint to finish.
If this is the case, a mod like this seems pretty straightforward. Ive always liked the look of the turbo trunk.
1 yes with out any modification. trunk will fit in thightly.
2yes it is fiberglass. i cut it so clean i didnt have to do too much modification.
and it is not painted yet. or I didnt do any body work to it....
Seems like too much effort, considering for probably similar money you can get something that bolts right on (they have many other types of bolt ons as well):

996 Turbo rear spoiler for the 996 Cabriolet and Coupe
Comes with brake light. Wing blade in the full extended position. Includes wiring harness.
"Only" $ 1375.00
They also have a duck tail for $850:
The thing that attracts me is the fact it goes up at 75 mph and its stock, I stand corrected on the hinges stock hinges work fine with the turbo trunk.
I got the lid for 400 and my bodyshop guy is looking into doing it I really like it and it might cost me another few hundred more but I like it too much so its worth it and its stock .
