Great input so far guys! I agree with many of the points that have been made so far. As for a poll, I am not quite sure how to do that, but will try.

point, counter-point, point . ... sideways

oooh, I want some of that action.

I say; Lose the rubber tail, AND get rid of those black rubber round thingies (tires?) . . .they look so "bolt on" on a 964 . . .you can even see the bolts!



. ...maybe go to white-walls (red-walls?) Ya know that whole "black rubber component" thing is so "out". . . .except for on mini's (they're "in")

Okay, seriously . .no really ...

The tail on scooters 964 has a painted grill. The factory look has a black grill. SO - the black of the lip, off-sets the missing black of the grill. Going back to a Duck would bring back the black grill. Certainly, Doug, you wouldn't suuggest losing that bit of black trim, back there . . .would ya?

Aside: Perhaps this "everything painted" design exersize has been a HUGE mistake.

I think it has been. Peple thought door-dings were a pain. ... these painted, exposed, soft bumpers that fade differently due to plastisizers -- huge mistake.

I thought that race tracks only had four turns. (to the left)

The duck works on certain 964's if they be sitting right. I think Doug has a point there somewhere...

Is my 964 be sitting right? I do agree with Doug's opinion on the clean look of the body colored bumpers and duck tail.

That Brumos car looks hot. I dont like the Duck with the twist wheels but it looks good with the cup 1s. I would not put a duck on with those wheels. I love the duck on a 964 in general

Still thinking about it. I appreciate the input on both sides. Interesting thought about the wheels. I really wasn't thinking that the duck would not look right with the twists.

Go duck, it will look fantastic. Even if it didn't (which it will), you can always swap back.
