I'm considering a '95 993 as my first p-car. Will have to wait a few more months before I can start looking for one.

I like the TT look. Hence, I might sometime down the road install a turbo tail on my future '95 993. Here's the question...

Can this be done? What I really meant is, what do I do with the third brake light (on the basket handle) if I do install the turbo tail? Would I have to install a third brake light like the ones on the '96 and up 993's (on top of the rear windshield) if I wanna install the turbo tail?

I mean it looks great as it is without the turbo tail So, if it's too much trouble, I would just forget about the idea
Thanks in advance for any responses.

Chris,

Yeah, I've already gone there but that is a '97 car. Hence, the third brake light is already at the top of the rear windshield. A '95's will be on the basket handle thingy...Hence, my question

Thanks for your response tho.

You have state inspections in your area? If not, leave it off. Even if you do, I really wonder if you need this 3rd brake light in order to pass.

 

Ray,

Yeah, we do have to do the regular inspection once a year in my area. I'll have to find out if it would pass without the third brake light.

I would like to have a third brake light tho. It is really a good safety feature that I think all street cars should have. I almost ran into cars that didn't have a working third brake light quite a few times...

Thanks

Huey,

Another option you can consider is the AERO KIT 1B from Gert. It has the 3rd brake light built in and it's Porsche OEM part...AND on sale from Gert NOW...

 

KC,

Thanks for the suggestion.

Has anyone installed that kit (Gert's Aerokit 1B) that can post a pic?

Thanks in advance!

Huey,
Good luck in your search for a ’95. I’m sure you’ll find a good one and be happy with it. I have a ’95. For a while, I was interested in adding a wing, but now I’m happy stock. When I was interested in a wing, I was concerned about the brake light as well. There are a couple of options. The easiest is to get a wing with the third brake light built in. There are also aftermarket brake lights that fit at the top of the rear window, just like the ’96+ cars. I understand that some of the late ‘95’s already have the wiring for this. If they don’t, or you get an early ’95, you could run into some wiring hassles with this approach. The third option is to get a wing that just replaces the stock spoiler, and leave the basket handle alone. The fourth option has already been mentioned, remove the basket handle and forget about it. You might get a fix-it ticket, though.

Huey,

I have AERO KIT 1 on my car which does not have the third brake light since I have a 96 with top mount light.
Don't have any picture at this time but will try to post some soon...

 

Tom, thanks! I probably would just end up staying stock We'll see.

KC, some pics would be awesome. Thanks for your help too.

And, not all 95's have the basket handle spoiler; my 95 C4 coupe has the one mounted high on the back window. I would think you could mount that same light on a basket handle car with a little clever wiring by piercing the seal to get the power through.

I love it!!! Order mod parts before getting the car. KC, you are a bad influence. If one orders parts before the car, I can only imagine what one would order after purchasing the car <img src="graemlins/jumper.gif" border="0" alt="[jumper]" />

The skies the limit...

Kim,

Theoretically speaking, I probably won't see you on the slopes unless i'm going down the slope at a higher velocity as compared to you <img src="graemlins/xyxwave.gif" border="0" alt="[bigbye]" />

Observing your velocity down the slope, I don't think I can catch up
