Maybe someone will steal this idea and produce some product - if you do, I want 10%
My guess is someone already makes one....
Anyways, I have an 2004 40th Anniversary Edition. I wish they did a couple of extra things making the car even more special - like a widebody read end. One can dream....
The look I would like to have is similar to the C4S where there is extra red lense that goes from tail light to tail light.
I would love to see a company come out with a replacement rear deck (the trunk so to speak) - it would still have the rising spoiler, but the bottom ~4" would be the red lense, so when you close it - it has that classic look like this:
(I put a comparison shot beneath it so you can picture the long red lense.)

I believe that the standard rear spoiler for both cars have the same dimensions and mounting points and electrical connections (since the reflector is not lighted from inside).
I could be wrong. But I don't think that Porsche widened the car in the middle for the C4S. Just the fender areas.
I have often wondered about this myself as a potential upgrade, but I have the factory original taco spoiler, so it won't work for me because I don't want to give that up for the reflector and some other add-on spoiler.
I would think that you could get a complete C4S engine cover from a Porsche dismantler.

I like mine as is don't feel the extra red reflector compliments it at all.
Should have come with a fixed spoiler and wide back but hey I guess they have to save something for the 50th anniversary
