Like the look and the mechanism of the 991.2 turbo spoiler . Wondering if the 991.2 4s can be changed for the turbo .

There's a crease on the rear edge lip of of the body on 991.2.

None on the 991.2 Turbo body.

The same problem existed on the 991.1 non-Turbo and Turbo as well. No more easy adaptable of the Turbo wing after 2012.

You can see in these photos that the crease Hothonda mentions is in both the deck lid and the back edge of the hips. The Turbo tail descends smoothly to a point just above the taillights. If you tried to change the deck lid it wouldn't line up with the hips.

Intercooler inlet of the .2 non-capital-T-turbo limits possibilities for a deck lid wing. So sayeth Porsche and witness the wing of the Sport Design package that is the equivalent of a 13-year old trying to grow a mustache (i.e. pathetic excuse...)

Well... now I'm afraid that they will introduce a roof spoiler with MY2018...
