What is the difference in fitment between a 996 C2 rear engine cover and a 996 C4S engine cover? I want to fit a duck tail on a 996 C4S. Can one meant for a 996 C2 be modified to fit a C4S? Thanks in advance for your help w this. Please post your reply for everyone to see. Len

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.

Well, the differences seem to be with the center reflector only. The C4S has one, the others do not. So.....here goes a lot of $ out of pocket just to see if this can be done. I bought a used Ruf Duck Tail similar to this one shown on the Ruf web site that only fits the 996................ I will also buy a stock 996 C4S engine lid from salvage that I can use as a base. A good friend who is an expert in fiberglass is going to make this Duck Tail fit the C4S lid. When done I will post a photo of the results. Len at Autosportengineering dot com
Hi-Very nice Ruf tail. Could you please tell me where you got it from?
Only place that makes them is Ruf. It is part of their RGT package. A few years back I bought the complete RGT body kit (Less the Black Wing) for a customer, but it was never installed. Still have it as NOS, but don't want to break up the package just for an experiment. The duck tail described in my first post I bought used, and will try to fit it to the C4S. I will post the results. Len
