I purchased an "s" emblem to replace the broken "s" on my 97 Carrera 4s. The PO had installed a turbo tail on the car and when he put the emblems back on - they were positioned incorrectly (I HATE that). On top of that the "s" that the PO put on appears to be the wrong one. It did not "attach" to the 4 - it was seperate.
SO here's my question. The dealer sent me an "s" with a 996 part number. It appears to fit perfectly into my "4" - so I'm thinking this is the right one. It's bigger than the "s" that was there previously - which I'm guessing was from a 2S.

Do I have the right "S" ??????

thanks...

Can you take a photo?

How about the complete # of the part they sent you?

The "S" for the 4S has a notch in it. The "S" for the C2S does not.

Thanks for the replies. The part # is 996 559 243 00 D04.

After looking at my mats and door sills - I think I'm ok. But I would hate to install it - and be wrong!!

I posted the part number above. Anyone know if it's the correct one?

Rich,

According to the PET, I believe the part # for the S insignia for the 97- should be 993 559 243 01 61W

The part you have is obviously from a 996, but I have no idea if it has been updated with a new number and the 2 parts are in fact the same.

From running the numbers through Pelican this is what I got....



OEM-99655924300D04 C4S INSIGNIA
$18.48

OEM-9935592430161W EMBLEM-S
$14.55


Hope this helps...

Thanks Kelly. I spoke to the dealer. They are going to send me the other emblem. I'm not sure if they are the same or not yet. I'll report back when I receieve it

NP, Rich. I too would like to know if there is a diff betwen the two, so yes, please update this post when you get the info.

Happy holidays to you!

I'd do the touch test and try to look at the three-panel mirror. If you were a female, I'd offer to help in answering this particular question.

"S" marks the spot.
