Design & Construction

The conversion is built around vehicle-specific molded body components and LED lamp housings that follow the later 971.2 rear-light geometry. The full-width light bar visually lowers and widens the rear end, giving the earlier Panamera a significantly newer appearance.

Installation

This is a professional body-shop conversion. Remove the original tailgate trim and rear lamps, transfer the required latch, camera, wiring, seals and reusable trim hardware, test-fit the conversion panel and lamps, align all body gaps and complete any paint preparation required for the tailgate panel. After final assembly, test all rear-light functions, tailgate operation, camera and locking functions.

Important Fitment Notes

Match the vehicle generation and body style before installation. Existing vehicle hardware such as camera, latch, powered-tailgate components, interior trim and wiring should be transferred or adapted by the installer as required by the original vehicle configuration.
