Been thinking about ducks

Well, duck tails to be more precise. I've attached a pic of my car for those that havn't seen it. Ok, so pros & cons of taking off the whale & sticking on a duck (or replacing the entire lid piece with a duck one)?

I think a duck would look great, but I am biased

I actually reckon your car would look great without any tail...

I'm with Fishcop.
I had one of those big, ugly whaletails and just had it removed.
My car is a Targa, also. A Targa just doesn't look good with a tail.
If I were to pin a tail on a Targa, it would be a ducky. Too bad they only come as a fiberglass lid.

Unless you are very lucky finding a good fitting Duck can be a problem.

I say
Save the Whale!

Your Carrera tail looks perfect. (But I'm biased )
