So I ran around without anything back there and thought that a matte black 911 in script would be great on my A/S engine lid.

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

I have seen 996's with "996" on the back of the car or "911". I know that the Millenium Edition came with 911 on the back, but what are the other reasons someone may have this? Does it designate anything special? Brian

POST 2Original post

The only 996 that came from the factory with "911" on the rear lid was the 2004 40th Anniversary JAHRE edition. These were standard 2WD Carrera coupes with C4S front bumpers, polished 18" Carrera wheels, X51 suspension and the X51 engine upgrade. These cars only came in 1 color: GT Silver Metallic.

POST 3Original post

My '99 Carrera Cab had the factory model designation "Carrera" delete as an option. So I ran around without anything back there and thought that a matte black 911 in script would be great on my A/S engine lid. I found one that was Genuine Porsche and put it on. I think it looks great and haven't seen another like it.

POST 5Original post

Actually, the 40th wasn't the only 996 that didn't come from the factory with the "Carrera" designation. As noted by Signal, the Millenium edition (2000 C4 with every option), which I have, also came from the factory with the "911" designation instead of "Carrera."

POST 6Original post

I just broke my carrera badge...when I was washing the P...so I ordered a new one....I think the name carrera looks the best on the back....Carrera C4S looks even better...but your name got be Riad for that

POST 8Original post

I like the idea of putting 911 on the back like the 40th anniversary. My cab looks somewhat similiar. My next project will be the euro style turbo look bumper, then the EVO supercharger.I am loving what I am hearing about it. Thanks for all the responce. Check out the new pics..
