Does anyone know who sells the center taillight panel piece? I've seen different cars with them, some saying turbo, 944, porsche, and I think even blank ones. Any help is appreciated.

not sure anyone carries them- that was an early 80's monstrosity. Im sure you can find them on ebay or from someone parting out cars.

Haha anybody, except me and a few others, that gets a car with one wants to get rid of it! Try larry at "20th street auto" in phoenix, he usually has a few (although his prices tend to be a bit high).. He ships... www.20thstreetauto.com

Thanks, I'll check with them. I did find a couple on ebay but was wondering if anyone still sold them new today.

I had one on my car when I bought it and never took it off, it sorta grew on me. Mine was plain, no text, and the lights were not installed. You can just see it on the side view below. Last vendor that I saw carried them was automotion.com

Such as this one which I have for sale. I dont think no one sells them new.

I see it now, thanks. It's missing the center caps that's why I didn't recognize them at first.

The lens looks kind of rough but PM me a price anyway if it's for sale.

Dammmn some of those fade bad. I'm lucky with mine, the car sat outside in the az heat for YEARS and somehow stayed red.

MAGK944

Don't I like the ones with text but that's just MO. I like mine because it continues the light panel pattern across the back which I think is a good "80s" feature of the car. I also like the tag not being in that location. Euro plates look good there but on the US tags it's seems badly located.

Always thought that it might look good in body color, bit like 968, maybe I'll paint mine and see.

The one Aben8057 has posted isn't red, never was. It's one of the amber model if I'm right.

aben8057

You are correct....it is the amber model which are hard to find.

Just in case you didn't already know, holes have to be drilled into the sheet metal to mount one of these. I have a red one with PORSCHE across the back. If I could fill the holes reliably without welding, I would gladly sell you mine.
Does anyone have any feeback for the best method to fill the mounting holes left behind after removing the center reflector?

If you don't want to weld or take it to a body shop, you could always go bondo I guess. Depending on where the holes are you may need to repaint.
