I had a duck on mine and took it off becuase I liked the clean stock lines better. I wish I had it back though, because I'd slap it on for track days.

no tail. i will get a tail when i drive fast enough to need one. if my rear end is light its because ive let off or touched the brakes at the wrong time. both mistakes that a tail will not help once they've been started. i dont track though.
now if its a look your after, well then by all means do wing/tail up. ive been thinking about winging up my civic comuter as of late.

Go with a duck--its an easy mod to change if you decide you don't like it. Just keep your old decklid.

I like them both ways. The clean lines without, just say sexy. The tails, duck, carrera, turbo, etc. are just like a diffirent swimsuit.

No tail if you keep it under 100mph, tail & chin spoiler if you plan to drive it like you stole it. Function aside, unless the car is absolutely pristine I like a duck better than not.

I like the duck...
That said, your car looks really nice as is. Oh heck, yes go with the duck.

Only duck if you're being shot at.
You know I like it as-is, but if you had both and it was easy to swap out that might be fun too. Dan

I really like the duck. I have one on my 911E. Since I didn't have a front spoiler at the time, I dropped the nose about 1" in compensation.
Good luck David Duffield |

yes get a duck it will look great on a white car. I had a Carrera spoiler on mine with a steel hood and that thing is heavy ! The duck is much lighter and still feels good at high speeds i tried
 Get a Carrera front spoler if you don,t have one offcourse. Keep the lid like others said changing them will take 10 mins only. But beware i started with just a duck and now i,m backdating the whole car
