Default Third brake light panel

Can someone post the part number or a link for the rear body panel for a 997.2, I'm looking for the one right after the back window that doesn't include a 3rd brake light? I've tried many searches with undefined answers. Thanks in advance

Here are the photos I promised. Car is a 997.2 and the panel above is 997.1. Notice the curvature on the ends.

Here is the part # 997.504.445.01. I'm afraid it isn't cheap though. You might be able to get one from a salvage place.

You probably aren't finding it because it comes on Turbo models normally. I discuss this panel in my thread here: https://rennlist.com/forums/997-foru...a-carrera.html. I talk about installing it in post 18 of that thread (you have to remove some interior trim but its not too bad.)

Here is a photo of it off of the car (the part in the center) and on the car (the only light is on the wing base itself, the one below the window is gone).

Thank you both for the info, I'll source a turbo panel.

Switchfoot614, which car did that panel come from?

2008 GT2. It's a unique part number apparently as it's aluminum and not steel.

I was outside sprucing up my car and found myself wondering if the Turbo panel without the brake light was aluminum too. It is... maybe further explaining why it is a little pricey. A magnet is not drawn to it at all (and I verified the magnet was good by touching it to the side panels where it quickly attached).

Keep in mind that I have a Turbo deck lid too, but I'm pretty sure the curvature of that is the same as the Carrera ones so I think they will mate up... but I'm not 100% sure.

Just FYI.
