I believe it has been done but I'm not sure so no confirmation but I really like the 991.1 "lobster tail" as I like to call it.
The bi-directional inlet/outlets have a nice contrast.
I swapped my .2 box-fan grates out for the .1 style. The main metal part of the lid is the same between .1 and .2; while the plastic joining the metal to the louvers/vents is different.
Just so I’m clear. You own a 991.1 TT or TTS and swapped out the top engine cover lid from a 991.2 TT or TTS and the fit was good. Correct?
I have TT. But the lids are all the same. Just take the cover from 991.1, remove and put the cover from 991.2. They fit as at the factory - there are no problems.

Agreed. There are some things about the 991.2 that I prefer over the 991.1, but the engine lid cover isn’t one of them. I think the 991.1 cover looks better. It’s a bit more sleek and “organic” in appearance.

I really like the .2 lid cover, looks great on your car. Do you know the Porsche part number?
Can this swap be done on a 991.1 C2S? I really like the look of the forward facing vent in the middle but unsure if it would fit without to much modification?
I will have a complete .2 engine lid with carbon fiber center louvers for sale in a few weeks if anyone is interested. Replacing with all carbon. Color is graphite blue but can be repainted. Carbon center

I would be interested but need to figure out how to put it on a .1 C2S and NOT a turbo :P(

Agreed. The .1 lid blends better with the design. The .2 design and later calls too much attention to itself.
I think many find themselves drawn to later model designs, in order to make their cars look more "modern," but that isn't necessarily a design "upgrade."
