78-89 Targa w/Turbo Tail - Pictures Please

[Booney1golf]

I know most of you do not like the Turbo Tail on non-turbo flared cars, especially on Targa's, but I would really like to see pictures from all angles to make the decision myself.

The carrera Tail does not impress me.

Here is the car in question:

That tail is too big for the Targa IMHO. Its makes the ass look heavy on SC flared cars, turbo flares are better for that tail. I think this is why we see more Carrera tails and Ducks on the Targas. If I may:





I think your car would look like hot-**** with a duck-tail and blacked out Fuch centers. / blacked webs. With the tinted windows those wheels look really really bright, I would darken them up a bit.

Will post more angles if you want them

+1 for the duck tail! I agree that the tail looks out of place on a Targa, but it's your car...

the problem with pictures is pictures don't fully convey the bulkiness of the tail on the SC/Carrera bodied cars. IMO it looks much worse in real life.

Personally, I like the Turbo tail in the SC flared car..... but only with a wide tire on the back, (like a 245 on some 9's). If you do it with stock size tires and wheels, it does look a bit odd. Of course I'm putting a 53" IROC tail on my SC flared car so my opinion might not mean much


BTW, I do like the duck tail on Targa's. I think it helps smooth out the ugly roof line that Targa's have (just my opinion)

Oops, fixed.

I think it's grand prix white with what is referred to as 'lipstick red' interior. If you tell me where to locate the colour code I can find out for you.
