I am not a fan of the ducktail but love the SD front apron.

I rather wish I had a ducktail on my coupe. If you do retrofit with a ducktail, I presume you'll loose the functionality of the button on your center console, but hopefully you'll keep the icon on the button so you don't end up with another black button. I hate all those black buttons. I've never seen a 991 without blank buttons. Does anybody know what kind of configuration would use up all the bottons?

I don't like the ducktail, cab or coupe. Looks like a cheap add on to me on the 991. I think is messes up the lines of the car.

No duck tail. Not a fan.

Just curious.. cars with ducktail or the aero kit spoiler, the spoiler lifting fuction is no good, right?

I thought that lifting spoiler is one of the coolest thing about 911.

The rear spoilers on the Sport Design & Aerokit Cup are fixed.

What's really "cool" though is to keep your speed actuated rear spoiler up all the time along with the collar on your Porsche polo shirt.

I am a fan of the ducktail having had one on my '72 Targa from the time they were announced on the Euro model 911RS. Also, based on the fact that Porsche will not supply the rear Ducktail only (you have to have the Sport Design front spoiler to have the rear) that the Ducktail supplies more downforce than the "flipper" tail which of course you get with/without the Sport Design front spoiler.

ha ha. Actually I don't like it up all the time. This may sound stupid, but I only like when it GOES UP and COMES DOWN. Moving spoiler is cool to me.

So... I'd like your opinion. Should I go through all the hassle and expense to install a Duck Tail????
Whilst I don't dislike the ducktail on a coupe, it just looks odd on a cab. I think it disrupts the clean and minimal lines of the car especially with the top down. It's just my personal opinion.
