Thanks for the pics .
Will go take another look later for a blob like that , but looking yesterday I did not see any markings at all . One difference I do notice on the inside of yours is the tabs where it bolts to top of lid are molded in . On mine it has the normal factory brackets . As I said The x93 turbo s rear is a totally unique design on the inlets so needed a one piece grill , And your pics show the shroud is different too which I did not know Lightwieght rear seems pretty much stock as far as I can see . It’s like they got a Turbo tail and fitted a Carrera rubber , then made a mould of it . I bought a 930 tail when I bought the lightwieght tail And compared side by side . Was a very long time ago and I don’t have photos or measurements, but they seemed identical apart from PORSCHE was embossed in the 930 iirc . All stock parts on the inside of mine , but I do remember the shroud was loose on one side . Uses stock bolts and rubber to bolt to stock 965 tail too . I’ll revisit this thread with any new info when it’s bacK from paint and I’m building it up again before install . In the meantime , if you find any new info let me know and I will edit what I have . There was a story going around England in the 90s that nick Faldo got his wife mad once and she took one of his golf clubs and smashed up his turbo s lightwieght  EDIT : Photos added of porsche museum car displayed at lemans a few Years ago .

I know this is an old thread, but wanted to check in if there was any further wisdom on the origins of the early turbo tails with a tea tray spoiler lip? There was a theory that they were to meet German regulations of the time, but they are so rarely seen I find that hard to believe. Dimensionally it doesn't look feasible that the tea tray lip would be a compatible fit for the earlier tails either.
If someone has a definitive answer or part number for these lips I would be interested to know. There is this example currently for sale on Ebay and I have picked up a much rougher version of the same configuration so I am interested to know what I have. Thanks

77 carrera spoiler-- what's this??
Howdy. Can anyone tell me what kind of spoiler this is?? Its much longer than the normal.spoliers I've seen recently. Bought this car couple months ago and the seller bought it 40+ years ago just like this.
Any guidance is appreciated. I doubt its stock or original. Frank
