Getty duck tail opinions?

How would you rank duck tail suppliers in terms of best fit/quality/original look?


Thanks

MA Shaw is the one I used. very little fiddling and it fit well. but I think I was lucky. Fiberglass parts always need some tweaking.

Aside from quality, the other concern I have is style. I have seen a few pics of a ducktail that doesn't look right and an trying to make sure I don't buy that one.

I have a ducktail on my wishlist.

I thought they were all very similar. What differences do you mean? (I sure don't want an odd looking one, either!)

Maybe some pictures could help.

Thanks.

I really like this car but maybe its the camera angle that makes the tail look different. Pictures of other cars appear to show softer lines on the tail

the angle or rake of the tail varies hugely among fiberglass ducks.
