993 Targa Whaletail?

[glenn911C4S]

Was the 993 Targa available with a whaletail spoiler from new? Can they be removed and replaced with the normal fitting? If so any idea of the cost?

It may have been an option but it certainly wasn't standard - it has the same speed-activated flip-up spoiler as the Coupe and the Cab.

Might be an RS (or lookalike) spoiler? They're fixed but can apparently be removed and replaced with the OEM spoiler. (I only know as I looked at a Coupe with an RS-look spoiler before I ended up buying my Targa - I asked here and was told it could be swapped reasonably easily).

pretty much all 993 spoilers are interchangable apart from the 'hoop' with integrated brake light

IMO the standard motorised spoiler looks best as it keeps the profile nice and clean

You quite often see complete rear deck lids with spoiler and motor on ebay
and is should bolt straight on and just plug in on the electrical side

I have only ever seen one targa with and RS Looking spoiler on it (looked good though) Is it a car you are looking at ?
