1974 911. wing or no wing that is the question

Ive been playing with the idea of removing the wing from the car so i took it off and made a mesh grill, but i cannot decide if i like it more with or without wing so i thought i would make a poll to se what you guys think

i would like to install a ducktail in the future but that will have to wait.


best regards









art shots bonus!

I would go with a ducktail.
For me it looks great on wide 911s.

The wide body calls out for the wing. I have always hated the add on 3rd brake light and without the wing it looks like a snorkel.JOMO

Ducktail...and do away with the "ET" 3rd brake light. You can buy a license plate frame that has an integral LED 3rd light that works looks great.

Here's a duck on a widebody:

Definetely fg ducktail. And you'll lose about 40 lbs off the back getting rid of the tea tray and metal lid.

I voted duck. And you should delete the snorkel third-brake light, stat! In the interim of obtaining the duck, I think wingless is a nice/different look for a widebody.

The car looks MUCH better with the tea tray spoiler on it (and much better than it would with the wimpy duck tail spoiler, too).

I vote for None or Duck. I lean more towards 'None' but that's just me. The wing looks very dated, again, that's just me.

Wide bodies with ducks are too cool. Very RSRish.

I know there will be many who disagree, but I love a wing-less wide body. The complex curves are great. I'd love to have a spoiler-delete factory Turbo-look...
