Very interesting. I looked up the deck lid part number in the PET Catalog and it shows different part numbers for Cabrio vs. Coupe. Could it be the cabs have a larger deck lid that is the same as the turbo size? Looks like that's the case.

Send me your email address via PM and I'll send you the file. You can take it to any sign shop to have them cut the vinyl. I got 5 of them cut out for $20.

You might get lucky, but don't hold your breath.

Hey @oldsock how did you get the black Porsche writing on your rear center reflector that i see on your profile picture? It looks amazing and I would love to replicate it. I've been looking everywhere.

Hey @Pooga996 did you get a hold of @azaytsev and/or the file? I reached out by PM and no response, even though it says they have been logging on most days. Sigh.
