I can't take credit for the widebody/turbo observation, I read it somewhere when reading about the light fixtures cracking. To the comment earlier, the decklid on the C4S (and maybe turbo) is fiberglass. It was a cheaper manufacturing option due to lower production numbers (I believe).

Oh, and because 996 owners don't have enough to keep them up late at night worrying, here is the video I mentioned earlier:

Yikes - I would have never expected that... I hope you don't get dinged too badly with the repair bill.

I'll be getting those light savers.

I will say that, more than once, I have found the mounting screws perilously loose on my C2. I now check the screws when I check the oil. Really should put some locktite on them.

Don't think our narrow bodies are immune.

CTF ? (catastrophic taillight failure)...

Yet one more reason why 99's are the best of the bunch.

Actually there are LED options for the 4s and turbo- in smoke or clear- pricey but look nice.

BTW, the prime manufacturer offers these on eBay. Listed at $69.95 BIN or make offer. I offered $60 and the offer was immediately accepted- making me wonder what this was set at as a min and what I left on the table lol.
