Since my car has the Aero wing on it, it loses the rear badging. A few of my friends commented that the car looks a little plain in the rear because of this. I have never really been a fan of the de-badging movement either.
So, I ordered a set of badges in chrome, I don't think the satin silver would look right against the reflector and temporarily attached them to the center reflector. I have mixed feelings on how it looks and figured I'd see what you guys think. So let me have it, tasteful mod or ghetto trash?
Personally, I'm not a fan of that placement. I prefer the simplicity of the reflector steip as it was intended. However, if you like it then you should keep it!
I do like the uninterrupted strip on the back, that said this doesnt look too out of place.
The only issue I have is that I know where its "supposed" to be stock..without that reference this could pass as factory placement.
Like BAD. TAG said it doesn't look too out of place, only Porsche owners will notice it being In the wrong spot. Maybe you should try black, I think it will compliment the bumperettes. Spray paint it with black plastidip just in case you don't like it will peel it right off.
I think it looks great either way. If you like it with the badge, leave it there.
Given the sheer volume of stickers Porsche is plastering on the back of their new cars, anything you do is going to be subtle by comparison.
I thought about going that route with the PORSCHE lettering across the reflector in black. Maybe just the chrome PORSCHE lettering (off a Cayenne) would look good across the back, kind of retro but updated?
My opinion, well that's obvious.... Fantabidozy.. That's means '****ing terrific' in laymans terms but nobody liked mine, not that I really give a **** haha. I love it. It's yours. Keep it. Don't go the same way as all the other modders. Sheep following each other. Be a rebel and then you become BAD ***. I would prefer to see it in BLACK to match up with the bumperettes. .
lol
I'm still a fan of no badging on your beautiful C4S. That being said, I like the new PORSCHE lettering better than the previous badge that you had. Again - if you like it, that's all that really matters. It's your car - make it look the way you want! It doesn't matter what anybody else thinks!
I think you made the right choice. Looking at your first pics the badges seemed a bit cluttered and out of place. The reflector lettering looks good with that rear wing.
I'd know that car anywhere. The black lettering look great man. Maybe I will catch up with you one of these days if we can ever dig out from all this snow!
are you sure thats a OEM wing,looks ok but ive never seen that one,its not a carerra spoiler and its not an aero kit 2 spoiler,maybe its the aerokit spoiler for turbo or widebody?
Being as the Turbo deck lid doesn't fit the C4S they must have made a very small number of those deck lids for the C4S which makes them quite rare.
I love the retro look of the black lettering. It fits with the retro look of the center reflector which I wish they would have put on the Turbo.
I created it myself after much trial and error with different sizes and such. The tricky part was getting the curve right since that rear reflector actually has a slight curve to it and isn't straight across.
Send me your email address via PM and I'll send you the file. You can take it to any sign shop to have them cut the vinyl. I got 5 of them cut out for $20.
ok someone needs to confirm,if the turbo spoiler from the aerokit will fit on a c4s or not? i doubt they made one specific for the c4s...of course i could be wrong...thanks
They did make a specific aero spoiler for the C4S that retains the center reflector. The part number is 996.512.901.04. I imagine the Turbo spoiler might fit, but you would lose the center reflector.
Here's a different angle shot of the rear for a better view of the spoiler.
Nope it will not. I've done extensive searching and reading on the topic searching for a wing for my C4S. There is a good thread over on 6 speed. A Google search for turbo spoiler on c4s will lead you to some links with side by side photos of a custom conversion.
The panel above the deck lid that holds the third brake light on the C4S is wider than the turbo's panel. Because of this the C4S deck lid is shorter than the turbo. Ask me how I know:
c4s lid1.jpg
That I'd like to see. Do you have any links?
Beyond the obvious size differences it would require major modifications on the underside of the deck lid due to different air box intakes and other obstacles. I'm not saying it can't be done but a ton of work would be required.
I have a spare turbo deck lid that I'm wanting to graft the lower portion of the C4S lid on to it to get the center reflector. It's on the back burner as I haven't found a used or damaged reflector at a reasonable price and I'm not going to buy a new one for an experiment as they are quite pricey.
If I ever do it I think I'd do what the OP did as the lettering looks awesome.

That's my favorite so far. I like it best because you don't end up with two third brake lights.
Note it does not replace the C4S decklid. It replaces the movable spoiler only.
There are some Gt3tek BetterBodies ? Clones of that rear spoiler bolt-on on ebay for <$800.
I really do like the OP black lettering.
I found a 2005 Renntech.org post on a Turbo Wing conversion to the C4S. In this install you loose the C4 Reflector

Very interesting.
I looked up the deck lid part number in the PET Catalog and it shows different part numbers for Cabrio vs. Coupe. Could it be the cabs have a larger deck lid that is the same as the turbo size? Looks like that's the case.
Hey
@oldsock
how did you get the black Porsche writing on your rear center reflector that i see on your profile picture? It looks amazing and I would love to replicate it. I've been looking everywhere.
Hey
@Pooga996
did you get a hold of
@azaytsev
and/or the file? I reached out by PM and no response, even though it says they have been logging on most days. Sigh.
