The RS had both the duck *and* the flared fenders. Ducks on narrow body cars (like yours) look ok, but they really do look better on the 78+ cars which have flares similar to the RS of 1973-75.

That said, they look fine on the narrow cars and, more importantly, they do make the car more stable at speeds over a ton...AS LONG AS YOU INSTALL A CHIN SPOILER!

If I had my purist hat on and saw *any* 911 with a tail and no chin spoiler I would be very disappointed since it is my clear understanding that this makes the car *more* unstable at speed.
