Looking for whale tail identification. Help!
I've come across this rear spoiler supposedly for a 95-98 Turbo 993.
Wondering if this is an aftermarket part or OE? I'm suspicious AM due to the 3rd brake light, but I'm sure one of you smart folks will know for sure.
Thanks!

I can see a part number on the deck lid, but this tail is bolted to it with what looks like generic bolts. Nothing I can identify of the spoiler itself.

I'll get the spoiler off and see if it has any identifying marks.

I think I had the same tail on the 993 I purchased and it was definitely aftermarket.
OEM Turbo S tail has no 3rd brake and is not an element that mounts on a standard deck. Hard to tell is yours is bolted on or part of.
I found a OEM tail and had it painted and sold the non-OEM one.

To the OP that is NOT a OEM Porsche “Turbo S” tail.

Beautiful car! In both photos!!
A picture is worth a thousand words and answers my primary question perfectly.
Any idea what brand this spoiler might be?
You folks are great! Thanks again!!
