Still think they are mondo cool because it is not a shape copied on other marks and cuase they don't scream poser turbo. (Let the hate begin!)

Edit: Unless you own a turbo.
Edit 2: Or an IROC tribute/clone
Edit 3: Track car cause the work better than a duck
Haha. Atleast a turbotail has form AND function flame away!

Just getting mine home from being painted so it does not even have door handles or trim on it, but here is a MA Shaw ducktail.

Quality of the bodyparts (ducktail, front/rear bumpers and front hood) was excellent and required very little work before fitting and painting.






We also painted the stock rear decklid so I can switch but so far do not believe it will be used very often.

My car is on the right and my brothers on the left. I like the look of the turbo tail but too many people make the mistake of putting them on narrow body cars. Ducks on the other hand looks great on almost all 911s.

The carrera/turbo tails will get you better down force, keeping you planted at higher speeds but the duck is significantly lighter.
