The lip on my engine cover has some bubbling and would need to be repainted.
Does anyone know how the lip is attached to the cover? Is it glued?

can you take a pic from a distance, it might help us understand what this is. Ive seen many a 993 but don't recall what this is.

Pry, is your car slate grey? If so, please post more pics......and let me know if you want to sell.

Wow. Nice car! Color. Taxes in Finland must be bonkers. Engine bay looks clean too.

At the begining for some reason I thought you were talking about the rubber in the lip of the "hood" of the engine (which happens to get loose on mine everytime I open it) but I think you are refering how to remove the wing to repaint the cover because some scratches/bubbles etc found inside or outside?

The car is black metallic even though it looks a bit grey in the pictures.
The taxation in Finland is nuts for cars like these but even worse for newer Porsches.
I'm talking about how to remove the plastic lip which the rubber attaches to. It's a separate part of the wing but I'm not sure if it's glued or what.
There's some bubbling as seen on this pic: https://www.dropbox.com/s/u8kt62p3s8...2020.42.14.jpg

I don't know if the regular turbo tail has different fitment over the Turbo S tail like mine. I did take these photos of mine but there is no lip for the cover/"hood" ?

Pry

Yes the Turbo S is different. Don't really know why the Turbo engine cover isn't one piece like the Turbo S.

Well can't help much here but I guess if there isn't any bolt/plastic rivet on it, then it might be glued from factory. Try carefully pry it and see if it pop ip from the cover?
