I want to have a 996 turbo with a sport classic look... or a "sleeper 996" and as i already have a 997.2 turbo, i want to change the rear spoiler with a duck tail on my 996

Has any one done it? or knows if its possible just to fit a 4S duck tail into the turbo??? comments and pictures will be very well received...

 

Getty Design makes quite a few tails...

I have always thought it would be cool to do a 996 turbo with the duck tail spoiler and Fuchs style wheels.

This spoiler



With these wheels




Kind of an modern interpretation of the 1972 911 Carrera RS.

Mashaw also sells ducktail spoilers for the 996 - http://mashaw.biz/996Ducktail.asp

 

yes STEVE thats exactly what i want to do, wheels and tail.....

thanks for your comments....

 

Even though I'm not typically a fan of graphics on a car, adding the Carrera decal might be cool as well.

BTW what color is you 996?

 

Nice idea and great looking car!

 

steve: its red... to be delivered next week.....

 

I really want to see this done.

So, here's your inspiration.

 

well, I had a problem with my other turbo (the read one)... making a long story short... I didn't get it...!!!!, so i started the search for another one that should be delibered in the 2nd week of january, is 2004, gray, manual, short shifter and 24,000 kms on his life..... so i want to restart with the ducktail project.....
One possibility is just to remove the lifters and the wing and keep the "lower wing" from the rear hood, the one like looks like a ducktail, and seal (somehow) the holes where the lifters are..... What do you think? any comments and suggestions?

 

I had something similar done and extended the OEM decklid by 2 inches thanks to the talent at DTM Autobody

 

Hihgcard: do you have any pics of the final result? i like how it looks,

congratulations....

 

Thanks, the car is currently still getting finished up at DTM Autobody, but I could PM you some pics when it's done.

 

Looking good, Highcard.
It looks like they removed the third brake light....is that the case?

 

perfect thanks....!!!!!!
