Is this turbo tail factory?

Fiberglass body, rubber lip, embossed "PORSCHE" lettering and crest. I will be selling it in the F/S section and don't want to misrepresent it. Thanks

It appears to me to be the real deal. The knock-offs usually don't have the Porsche Crest molded into the rubber, or the Porsche logo embossed into the base. Good luck with the sale!! Tony.

Yup it sure has all the markings and wiper hole, along with the factory rubber configeration, I would say it's the real deal.

Yes it's the real deal..

Although, many of the knock-offs "do" have the logo embossed in the base. Most do not have the studs or the vane underneath which separates the screen section. The lip should be factory as well based on the crest.

On the other hand, for those looking for Turbo Tails, don't rule out the knock-offs as many of them are high quality as they were relatively easy to make.

I earlier gave a thumbs up to being authentic, however I believe the wiper hole should be pulugged not glassed over. My cab, which came with car, on option list has it that way, "plugged"
