I like the wide body with a duck myself - Jack do you have one of those pictures handy?

Damn! I cant believe I passed up the chance at a GT white deck lid (same color as my car) on ebay. In pristine condition, it sold for $228!
Somebody please slap me...

I actually want to get a tail for mine (and chin spoiler), but I do like the 964 tail idea (a-la Jack O.)
I know David - I got issues! I just want my car to have a more modern look to it. I know it's an "icon" body style with the turbo body and all, but "I" want a more modern look, C2 bumpers or a retractable spoiler. As long as I don't CHOP anything that cant be returned to original look, I will be fine

Find a picture of the 89 Speedster. It had the Turbo bodywork. It's of course a cabrio, but it's a tail-less widebody nonetheless.
found this speedster

I hear ya! I like Jack's idea of multiple decklids with different tails. Change to suit whatever situation or mood you're in. That's the cool thing about these cars. Just a few "bolt ons" and you can update, backdate, or whatever to your hearts content! I've always liked the Turbo "tea-tray" spoiler myself. I know, many think it's too big and obnoxious on a non-turbo flared car, but I like it. I've seen many narrow bodied cars with one and they all look good to me. Either way, your car's going to look good no matter what you do!

I hear Jack is going to do a calendar - the many faces of Black Beauty II - BBII at the track - out on a date - duck tail, racing rubber - I am sure he could fill up 12 months!

George,

Put down the keyboard, and step away from the computer.

Take one look at your car, and say to yourself. I like my car the way it is. Everyone says it is incrediable, save your money for a car that you can play with, and not damage, there are so few TLC around.

Michael
