Post Any of you swapped tails on your Carrera?

... or other 911, for that matter. If you've put a different type of tail other than the stock Carrera type on your 911, I wonder if you wouldn't mind posting a pic. I've toyed with the idea of trying on a different one for size.

Ive put on two turbo, one SC, one ducktail, one electric, and two GT tails on various cars over the years. Whatever you do, Don't put a turbo or GT tail on a narrow body car. Arrghh.....the WORST!

Try one of the newer style lower profile tails. I have a carrera tail on mine and it looks OK, but it just doesn't have the same feel as the turbo tail flares that I like so much.

Cool

I might get shot by a purist but those red calipers cost me about $2.00 at Autozone...
Gotta love that "Plasti-kote" Rust Not paint...
