996 Carrera 4s trunk on a Carrera2?


Recommended Posts

I have a 99 c2 cabriolet and would really like to add the horizontal reflector on the trunk that that C4s has. However, it doesn't look like it's possible to do this right on a narrow-body. I don't have a C4s at my disposal to do a side-by-side comparison, but the things that concern me are:

1) Trunk design - the C4s appears to have an indented lip on the bottom of the trunk lid for the red reflector, whereas my C2 trunk does not. This means that I would have to replace the whole trunk frame to make the reflector look right. Is the trunk frame on a narrow-body C2 the same dimension as the trunk on a wide-body C4s?

2) The rear tail lights on the C4s are different - rather than being smooth from top to bottom like the C2, there is an edge separating the upper and lower area. I assume that these tail lights do not fit a narrow-body C2. Therefore, even if I were able to install a C4s trunk lid, it would not match up well with the C2 taillights, right?

I'd really appreciate any clarification on the items above that anyone can offer. If it is in fact not possible to do this, is there an aftermarket alternative to accomplish the same thing?

Thanks!

John
