Duck or Duck-less
 

Hi All,

I just had a fiberglass duck tail refinished in matching black.

My opinion is that is would look great on my newly refinished car.

My wife's got another idea. (Note that massive oil leak has been fixed).

Any opinions, should I go duck or duck-less?

ducks rule...

I switch back and forth. Takes me about 30 minutes to switch out and get things lined up.

I like the idea of switching back and forth!

I'd just get another 911! :D

Once you mark underneath the tail where the brackets align, it is real easy to switch back and forth. I have 3 different tails that I changout. It is a 20 minute job, at the most.

Does it have RS flares for the rear fenders? If no (cant tell from the pic) I think the ducks look a little strong....If you are asking for an opinion.

I would go more the 911R look on an early narrow fender car. Really just ride ht and wheels. Maybe the rear qtr window with the slats in it....suttle but cool, also reversible.

Emily Post says the duck is appropriate for joyous occasions - weddings, track days, spirited drives up the coast or through the hills.

Duckless, on the other hand, is the correct attire for more somber outings, funerals, commuting, tax audits.

I don't like ducks on narrow - bodied cars.

duckless for everyday

duck for the track...make sure you have the front spoiler though

No ducktail.

You have a fine, vintage GT car, not a track rat. Sell the tail and take the wife to dinner with the proceeds.

No Duck
 

IMO, ducktails look out of place on a non-flared (RS or RSR) car. Plus, no hotrodded engine = no duck. I am sure there are many out there that will disagree with me, but that is my opinion. Besides, I am the kind of guy that would search out an SC or Carerra (if I wanted a buggy bumper car) without a whaletail - but that's just me...:p

Whatever you want. I have seen narrow body cars with ducks, the look is just OK, IMO.

+1 for having one of each to swap back and forth.

I love a little tail now and then.

But not on a narrow body. And I love narrow bodies.

You have the duck and it's already finished. Install it and then decide.

PM me if you decided to sell the ducktail.

i love duckies but not on narrow bods

I don't know how many narrow bodied ducks you guy's have seen, but I think they look great.

Here is a fine example; a local's black narrow bodied duck:
