991 Ducktail Removal Questions

I've been in the market for a 991 4S and have finally found the perfect car at the right price. The problem is that it has the Sport Design package (ok, so it's not that perfect!). My questions: is it possible to easily remove the ducktail and install the stock spoiler? Is a 991 with ducktail pre-wired for the stock spoiler? Will this require adding an addition button to be installed on the console to control the stock spoiler? Also, I'm relatively new to the 991 world, is the ducktail a desirable option -- would I be able to easily swap this for a stock spoiler with another member?

Also, the car is a '13 platinum silver 4S.

I'd be quite happy to make the swap if you were interested?

It's not a particularly complicated install for either way.

Good to know. Do you have platinum silver as well? Also, would you be willing to swap the front bumper as well? I may be picking up the car this weekend.

I agree, the open trunk is not a desirable look, but I never have to see it. I do have to see the ducktail...no hiding that!

To switch from the standard spoiler to the duck entailed more than just swapping them out. A lot of electronic stuff too.

The same will go for duck to standard too!

PM me for details and we can chat tomorrow if you want. There's quite a bit of work involved.

Just read it. Do you still have the retractable spoiler and front bumper? Just to confirm, you have GT silver, right?

No, mine is aqua blue but personally I would want to paint to match my car anyway rather than hope for a match based on factory paint.

I could be interested in both yes

PCar75 is on a distinguished road
I'd also be interested in a swap for both sport design front and Duck tail. My car is platinum silver.

The deal died. I walked. Shady sales tactics by the dealer was enough for me to wait for the next opportunity.
