To spoiler, or not to spoiler - 1970's SC
Hi,
This of course comes down to personal feelings about the spoilers and the authenticity of the 911 whether to keep it factory or not, this I realize.
I'm hoping some blokes will chime in on my car specifically and give an opinion.
I bought it like this, with the plastic on it to make it look more 964-like. There are key components missing to make it more realistic, and some gurus can spot the differences. That being said, the car isn't original, nor will I restore it that way so that's not a limiting factor in the decision.
See the pic posted and excuse the pixels! My main hold-up about going with a tea cup tray spoiler (or any spoiler for that matter) is the SS targa bar, it dates the car (in an absolutely fantastic way, I am in love with it).
What are your guys' thoughts - spoiler or no? If yes, duck tail, tea cup, old turbo tail, etc. etc?

If you go with a spoiler in the rear, (many available for short money), you will need a chin spoiler as well. It is a matter of personal taste. Some like the "clean" look of the car with out it, some, like myself, like the "iconic" look with the whale tail. It is your car, do what you feel satisfies your taste.

IMHO ducktail or nothing. Personally I think it is perfect as is , but if you want a spoiler a ducktail would look good.

So a bit of a necro of my own thread as I've read the reviews.
The majority of my driving is all highway/freeway and about 90% of the time I drive the car with the top off and typically for long(er).
Does having the roof off affect aerodynamics in a way which makes putting a tail on negligible for down-force?
Everyone has varying opinions on whether or not it will look good. I suppose I could always buy a second trunk lid as well, that way if I end up hating it, simple trunk swap and voila.
