Hi,

Does the 996 Turbo deck lid fit on my 996 C4?

Thanks

No it won't. It'll only fit the c4s

Thanks.

Any aftermarket for C4?

There's plenty. C2 and C4 are the same. 996tt and C4S are the same. Cabriole are by themselves

You sure about that Trendy?

Even though the C4S and TT deck lids are different in design, I've seen several people mount them on narrow body Carreras. That is the bottom portion of the lid is curved in to support the center reflector of the C4S and the TT is blank, but has the lifting spoiler unlike the C4S. But it was my understanding they use the same type of mounts and that the dimensions are the same. Yes, the C4S and TT are wide bodies, but those cars are extended at the fenders.

Am I wrong on this?

As an owner of a 2003 C4S who has bought and tried to install a Turbo lid. It does NOT fit. The C4S has a larger third brake light panel under the rear window then the Turbo which has no third brake light. That makes the Turbo lid about an inch longer. The width is the same.

It won't fit without significant modification. It can be done by cutting the turbo deck lid down to fit. The problem with that solution is the lines of the deck lid look funny when it's finished. They don't match the lines of the narrow body cars, especially on the bottom by the bumper.

The Turbo lid is a direct bolt on to the 996 C4S Cabriolet body.
The struts hit the airbox and the SAI pump brackets need locating in the engine compartment.

I guess bc I've seen it done. Seems the person went through some modifying to achieve it. Always love to learn more about what swaps over and what doesn't bc it doesn't happen much with porsches lol
