The RS touring was available with many C2 options, sunroof, headlamp washers, electric windows, fogs etc. Also the door cars are like a C2 and the rear quarter internal sound deadening panel is retained which it isn't in the normal RS. Steering wheel and position of the gear stick is also different to a C2 as it uses the short shift. If yours is an early C2 then the tunnel needs to be modified to accept the short shift kit. Externally the rear bumper but also the brakes are different, power not vacuum like a C2 and rotors/discs are different. It depends on the lengths you want to go to get something you like.

I will be doing the roof myself. I am a bodywork guy, semi retired, trying to be fully retired. I work mainly on Italian Classics, and Historic race cars.
I have already colour changed the engine bay, and the frunk area is almost finished. The reason for going with Rubystone, apart from liking the colour is, I won’t have to declare the colour change in the vehicles title documents. It is already listed as ‘Red’ and I am just changing it to a different type of red. (Originally GR).
My initial plan was to widebody it in steel, but doing the arches in a Singeresque style exposing a lot of the tyre, but my intention now is to sell it when it is finished so I am going down the RS route. But hey, who knows, I may end up keeping it.
Cool, wish I had those skills, good luck with it. I had my sunroof done with a Fenn lane panel nearly two years ago, thrilled with it then and still

Regarding the RS front hood prop rod, does anyone have an image of where the prop rod plate attaches to the hood? Or a measurement of its location?

Ah, I thought your were referring to the Cup Mirrors that stick on the corner of the wing window.

In the States they are mostly referred to as Aero mirrors.

I have never seen a single RS, in the flesh or in photos without

I can measure mine. I had a shop, which has a couple RSs laying around, install it. Since they have a lot of experience with these cars, I didn't tell them how or where to install it but assume it will be very close given their level of experience.

I can measure where my hood prop is installed and send measurements if that is helpful, someone make a repop of these but I can't remember who. Keep in mind that the RS hood is made out of AL and not steel so it is quite a bit lighter, not sure hood prop will hold up steel hood without bending

Yes measure it Phil. I'd love to see if my guys were close when mounted mine. Just curious...
Rothsport hood : http://www.rothsport.com/Products/Ch...d-Prop-Rod.htm

I haven't had any issues. Based on the way it's mounted, and the support of the frunk hinges, I don't think it's under much shear force.

I spoke to Mark a few months back and he told me he can't supply them anymore - something about a fire at the Pilkington factory. Luckily I found something on ebay soon after.

Has anyone had time to measure the rod location yet?
I could also do with the distance of the rod holder too.

I asked a number of Genuine RS owners and the only feedback I got was to gauge location by holding it open and putting the rod down, nothing more exact than that I'm afraid

When I put mine on originally I just did it by eye from pics on the net. I also used to prop it by using the hole in the top of the front strut, instead of the nut Porsche suggest, as it felt more secure to me

Are you looking for the location of where it attaches to the bonnet ? I have a carbon kevlar bonnet which I haven't unboxed yet but I have been told it has the holes pre-drilled for the strut to attach to - can measure this when I get a minute.
