Does anyone know why my 996 gt2 lid wont fit on my 2002 c4s ,it appears to be to big, is the panel below the window with the brake light in narrower from the window to tailgate on a turbo and gt2.

So if a turbo decklid is longer ,is the panel below the window narrower on a turbo to compensate ?

Anyone help

the turbo decklid and the c4s decklid are different. The difference is that the piece right below the rear window is narrower on the turbo. I bought a complete rear turbo decklid and it was pretty obvious that it'll not fit. To make it fit would require lots of surgery, so your best bet is to go 3rd party solutions.

Thanks ,but can it be done the dealer tells me that the support panel underneath is different on coupe ,turbo and gt2. i think it can be changed as its a cover really ,on the 997 its bolted on with 5 bolts. but is bigger than the turbo 996 panel
