what's with the "keep it original" thing - he can pop back on the old one and be original in like 30 minutes --- change is good as long as you can "un-change"

I've found you need to loosen the hinges on the trunk and spread them to the widest "setting" to get the lid to squeeze in.

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.

I really like it, definitely better than a taco wing (but I've never been a fan of them anyway)! But, its all a personal preference (as long as you like it thats all that matters). jmo
Just as
jdjones2010
say's, as long as you are happy with the way it looks all is good.
I'm not a fan of changing stuff to make it look different. I want a car to be as original as possible and especially the 911. This said, I actually better like the original wing on the 996 C2/4 but again, its all in the eye of the beholder.
Magnificent work you done btw. Can't see it is retro fitted at all
what's with the "keep it original" thing - he can pop back on the old one and be original in like 30 minutes --- change is good as long as you can "un-change"
do it work - (I hope)
Nice work. Is that an OEM Porsche part? I only ask because the "lip" on the rear decklid underneath the spoiler (where it normally says "turbo") looks off to me. On the actual turbo cars, the lip lines up with the line that seperates the red from the clear lenses in the tail lights. Yours sits lower, and it doesn't really look like there's even room to put a badge on the rear decklid. Maybe it's just the angle in the photos, but it doesn't look right to me. Also - note the difference in the location of the 3rd brake light...
Don't get me wrong, I think it looks great. That particular detail just strikes me as a bit odd. Here's a photo of a 996 turbo so you can see what I mean.
I thought C4/TT wings would not fit a narrow body? Does the wing come off the TT decklid and bolt to the narrowbody deck?
EDIT: Ok now saw the "How-to" steps in the blog. Awesome thanks.
it is oem parts... people 996 tt trunk does not fit 996 c2.. I made this oem trunk to fit my c2... took 1 day of work... trim to fit. tt trunk is 2 inches longer and 1/2 inch wider...
Did you have to do any modifications to the fan or air box I want to do the same conversion
On a 2001 C2 I have a complete turbo decklid with fan brake light and wiring harness
How did you cut the sides and the bottom: what type of tool? Also, did you move the base for the latch, if so how? Any pics of the inside of the cut areas? I am in the process of doing the same mod's.
Thanks for any help!
familycar911, how did you get this to fit? I have a 1999 and I also have a perfect turboS wing, and I would love to fit it to my car. Can you maybe email me what you did?
[email removed]
. Thanks! BTW amazing job, looks perfect
I'm just curious how you got around some of the mounting issues, if you don't mind I'd like to pick your brain as to how you did it. Thanks again. [email removed]
BTW his report of 8 hours of work may be on the low side.
I'm in the process of fitting the wing also. I've found you need to loosen the hinges on the trunk and spread them to the widest "setting" to get the lid to squeeze in. Also thinking of elongating the holes on the hinges to have the decklid sit higher on the back of the mounting area.
I haven't gotten to the latch striker but I bought a set of metal brackets to attempt to relocate the latch striker, bolting off an existing piece on the lower lid.
I've also fabbed brackets to bolt under the spoiler area. I don't plan to install the K&N in order to get the full hydraulic system to fit. Posted my K&N for sale.
I spent a full day working the lid and still only about 80% done.
