Have the ductail on.... Missing something now.

I recently did a batch of changes including fiberglass front and rear bumpers and decided to finihsh it with the ducktail I have always wanted. Now it seems to be missing something. Is it my imagination or does it need some black on the back? My first instinct has me just putting a simple 911 graphic on the duck.
I need to look for the pic but I remember seeing Jack Olsen's black beauty with a 911 decal on the back.

Steel widebody conversion as purchased

What's your suggestions? Please don't say go back to stock.....

That duck tail looks great. I agree with you that it needs something to break up the green expanse and give it some relief. Can you photoshop the decal?

Lose the center Porsche plastic reflector and fill it with a viper green piece. Basic black Carrera across the deck.

I like it. I don't know that it needs anything, but i don't think that a decal of some sort (like Kurt/Rot's above) would be bad either.

I was thinking on the deck lid itself, not the tail. Up on the tail is where it goes if it is followed by an RS.

This is the winner so far. That would look sharp. She's such a whore already I suppose i could put just about any script on her now! The Carrera script looks natural on it. I would like to see the carrera on the deck. Would you center it?It came with the porsche eblem accross the deck. That would look bad with the reflector still there.

Surf Board racks in Wisconsin would defininetly be a statement.

I will see if I can find a 911 script and have someone photoshop it.

I'd actually look for a different tail. Imho the duck doesn't really work visually with the widebody flares. I ran a duck on my SC after it was prepped but I had stock fenders. Eventually I ran a bigger tail due to wanting to kill a bit more lift, but I think it looked better as well.

The new bumpers look great.

This one

This is the script that I was originally thinking in black. Maybe a Carrera 3.2SS script would be pretty cool??
