Default 997 look engine decklid on 996??

Does anyone know if a 997 engine decklid will fit on a 996?

If not, is there an after market look alike 997 decklid for the 996?

I am a big fan of the more aggressive looking decklid and would love the look on my 4s.

Thanks a bunch.

Very old thread, but surprising that in all these years, nobody seems to have developed a 4-gill 997-style wing to fit a 996 decklid. It might even look okay with the new Dectane-style rear lights that are becoming so popular.

Personally, I really dislike the look of the 997 engine cover. If I had a 997 I'd probably try to retrofit one from a 996.
