How many variations of engine deck lids?
I am shopping for a spoiler, but I am getting confused about how many variations are there in engine deck lids?
I have a 2001 C2 Cabriolet. I am guessing that the turbo deck-lid is different dimensions to narrow body. Was the C4S different as well? How many variations were there for the 996?

Yes, the Turbo and C4S are wide bodies and have different deck lids that are not compatible with the NA 996, especially the Cabriolet.
If you want to add the OEM spoiler, you may want to try this...

Very nice style in my opinion, but expensive. Be careful buying just any spoiler for the Cab, because it has to allow room for the convertible top's "clam shell" to open.

I am looking on the Misha GT2, but I am not sure if it is compatible with the cab. I also love the turbo deck lid, but I haven't found any for the narrow body. I want something to beef up the rear, I am not a big fan of the sloping deck. I would like it more if I could keep the stock spoiler up, but I'd rather get one that I like, so that the back is not just sloping back.
Personally, I am not a fan of the taco GT3 spoiler.

This one came on mine when purchased. I have not been able to track down the brand though. Works fine with the clamshell, and the factory spoiler still operates normal.

This looks nice. Would love to find which one that is. Do you have any pictures of further away from the car and a diagonal rear picture?

it's raining today, and I'm in the middle of a paint correction at the moment, so here's a few that were already on my phone - including some of the dealer's pics from when I bought it back in September. Hope these help!

We were on a forum-wide mission to figure out what brand of wing came on RT's car and came up empty handed. The search continues! Very rare indeed.
+996 on the Misha GT2 replica for NB cars. I've seen Hawk's in person and it is a great fit both literally and figuratively.

I think MA Shaw sells a turbo copy spoiler for narrow body cars.
