I have the basket handle and standard retracting tail. It does not bother me - I actually had a 996 owner (my neighbor) ask me if I knew there was a retrofit for a basket handle for his car!

I have to admit that the later 3rd brake light is very clean and nice, but again my baskethandle is not rubbing me wrong like my amber turn signal lenses and sandblaseted fogs (even after reconditioning)!!!!

Everytime I try to mount a slimline 3rd brake light on my car, it keeps falling off when I retract the top.

(just trying to add a little comic relief. )

on 993s w/o a tail, i think the basket handle looks pretty cool (although i might be one of the few who thinks so). i have also seen 964s with a 3rd brakelight mounted on the inside of the rear window; can that style brake light be used with a 993 (it might be easier to install than the standard MY96+ 3rd brake light since it is inside the car)?

I have just removed mine off my 95, filed the holes and repainted the rear lid. I now just have the rear brake lights.. I'm not a huge fan of the 96-onward third brake light.. it's a bit stuck-on looking.. so I'm thinking about a thin strip of LED's internally, maybe some ultra-low profile Luxeon ones right up at the edge of the inside of the rear window.. I love the clean lines of the car without the basket.. I do understand the need of a high mounted brake light and will fab. something soon...

Fellow Rennlist members:
Please forgive this next post, but at the insistance of TheOtherEric I am now posting our private exchange of ideas regarding the Basket handle & RS tail look for you to decide on whether I was too mean to Eric or just standing my ground after being flamed by mistake. I would appreciate any comments to be made via PM.
Thanks and again I apologize for this post.

Before you make such comments you should realize I posted my personal opinion of the basket handle before your post describing you car appeared, keeping me from knowing you would be hurt by my retard comment.

As far as having *****, you bet I do!, and I will not let guys like you push me around with your whining about my comments regarding a certain look bolted on some Porsche.

And as far as being in a popularity contest here on rennlist, I didn't know there was one and don't really give a damn one way or the other if you like me.

And since I'll never really give a damn what you think, I'll just move on from this stupid exchange of BS but, since it was your idea, I'll take you up on your offer to go public.

Hope all this does something for you, because it's all BS to me.

None, all the wireing and connectors are there, you just need to switch a few pins.

I didn't do and A, B, C write up but did post an outline w/ pics here

The interior mounted 964 third brake light blocks your view more than you would think. At the right distance, it can block an entire car.

I really enjoy reading all the post on rennlist and whenever I need help it amazes me how the majority of fellow rennlisters are so eager to help. I am always proud to turn fellow porsche owners on to rennlist but when there is such rudeness and childish actions going on like this Zombie character it makes me shake my head in disbelief of why this individual is so rude to such a great bunch of people. What happened when he was growing up? Did his parents treat him badly, was he picked on in school, did someone not show him enough love? It would be great if this Zombie person could try to smile and treat others like he would like to be treated. I have seen more than one post from Zombie that you can hear the bitterness in his words...why? No one likes a person that is so negative and no one on rennlist has been rude or bitter to him. I guess it would be refreshing to see Zombie to be a positive person and not so quick to say such harsh statements. Smile, be kind and pass it on...if you don't have something positive or nice to say then say nothing at all, or atleast be more diplomatic when expressing feelings about something that someone else is so proud of and worked so hard to get.

Ok I will go back to reading and by the way...I think the basket handle looks great as does spoilers as does any other styles of Porsche. There are several styles and looks available since everyone has different taste. We can all have opinions but there is always a time and place to express them but when we do be considerate of the other persons feelings.

I deleted that "wart" from the rear of my car while adding a C2S split grill. One of the "best" mods.....

My late model 95 does not have a basket handle. As this is the signature feature of a 95 I almost feel kinda left out.


And enough with the insults guys
give it a break.

I wonder when in the '95 model year run Porsche switched from the basket handle to the 3rd light above rear window. My '95 is a March '95 build and it does not have the basket handle.
