MA Shaw Ducktail

I am going to use the MA Ducktail, but my painter said that there are three differn't tails to use. Which one have people used?

They range from $450 to $750. The options are fiber-glass, kevlar and carbon fiber.

Definitely Kevlar, you need bullet proof protection in the rear of the car since that is the only part people will see.

Fiberglass would be my 1st choice, cheap $ and light.

maybe some kind of exotic Kevlar Carbon Fiber hybrid would be best.
