Whatever floats your boat. If you like it, I wouldn’t worry about what other people think.

The lack of a picture probably means it’s wrong. I guess the duck was attached to performance variants and the cab isn’t one of those. I also guess the aero will be compromised by the shape of the cab roof. Finally, just because you can, doesn’t mean you should (other opinions are of course available…..)

Get the TRE ducktail: it has the right bevel on the sides and looks much better than others. Requires minimal work to fit well too, which is a plus.

Mines just waiting for winter to end so I can paint it and hang the original steel decklid up as “art” in our apartment.

If it makes you happy then do it and screw public opinion.
