I installed a turbo decklid with a carbon fiber oversized wing from maxspeed motorsport http://www.maxspeed-motorsports.com/996fullexhaust.html
Not a whale tail but it's another way to go.

cheers,

Sid.

jbauza has a little shameless behaviour in the past
I have an 07 C2s and I'm in the process of installing a 07 TT decklid with the spoiler that I found on e-bay for 2,600. Currently in the paint shop. Check LA dismantlers.

On Techart whale tail: Somebody mentioned that it is possible to adapt the coupe version to a cab with minor modifications and that it is covered in forums. But I can't find it. Anybody?

That would be the one, as it is not for cabs. That is, if conversion is feasible.
