Duck Tail

As a big fan of the 74 RS, this is the closest I can get to the original duck tail. It isn't perfect from all angle, but I like it Parked at loading zone(early am) for photograph only, just incase I am going to get heat for it.

to the OP, I agree with few that responded, the duck tail works better on a coupe. I have not seen it in person on cab... my two and half cents

I like the duck tail on the 997 Carrera Classic. I also like the idea of not messing with the lines of the car.

In addition, retro fitting a duck tail can be pricey (paint, vents, wiring, etc). Would rather put the money into go fast parts.

With all due respect that the Ducktail should have on the 911, I do not think it matches the design and style of the 991, and imho ruins the beautiful clean tail of the car

No offense to those who has the ducktail, I am someone who appreciate original design. As such, if the original design of the 991 does not have ducktail, it doesn't need one ! When you start doing all the modifications to the 991, granted it might look great, but, it is no longer the original 991. Let's not forget the premium we paid for the porsche 911 is for Porsche's original design !

I don't agree with Fester, I have a Cab with it and get innumerable positive comments about the look of the car and especially the "duck" tail. I guess this is why they make different colour neckties. Not everyone is going to like everything!

Duck it.
I am thinking of Ducking it myself after I get my wheels squared away.

Do you have a picture of your CAB with the duck tail?

ducktail ruins the porsche traditional design of the rear end?? does a wing ruin the design of the GT3 too?

^^^This! The 997 Sport Classic duck was beautifully executed. The 991 one sits too far back, IMHO.
