I haven't played with a 996 in a while, but I have a '96 993 and all the 993 decklids are the same, excluding grill inserts and various spoilers. I'm pretty sure it won't even come close to fitting. Last I remember wrenching on a 996, the opening to the engine area was a lot smaller than on my 993. There are a lot more 996's out there than 993's, so a spare decklid shouldn't be hard to find or too expensive if you want to mess with it.
