Anyone ever seen a 993 like this before?

That's the first handle I have ever seen without lights, but I have seen a 95 with both top and handle 3rd brake lights before.
It was not a factory installation, the top light was installed by the owner and was a factory part, at the time he was waiting to delete the handle when he had enough $$ for the filling of the handle mounting holes and re-spray of the deck lid.

I saw that but I wasn't sure if the PO black out the light or what. The Handle looks like it has the same shape as the factory handle with the 3rd light mounted in it. Pictures not close enough to see all the details.

Doesn't seem right to fill & shape the basket handle when it would be easier to fill the holes left after removal...?

Yes, that's the one! He was trying to sell that one for about a year -- exactly the sort of owner I avoid like the plague...

I seem to recall one of the aftermarket spoiler companies offer a bolt on basket handle for the earlier models. (But no way am I interested enough to go research it... )
