Very nice James! I was wondering what tail you had on the car when you sent me the pics earlier today. Very original - haven't seen anyone on the forums with it yet. I think you're the first.

Very tastefully done, does the ducktail block the upper brake lights?

The upper brake light is part of the factory decklid and electric spoiler and therefore would be removed.

That is absolutely CLASSIC! Sort of like the special edition porsche just put out, but probably a touch less than $200K. Very Nice.

One question: Does the spoiler still raise, or is it fixed in place???

Not quite true. It sits above the factory decklid and can be seen quite clearly in the pics. It also looks to be comprehensively blocked by the ducktail. Usually, aftermarket spoilers that block the factory 3rd brake light include an alternative solution that sits on the spoiler itself so it's visible. Don't see one on the ducktail, but doesn't mean there isn't one available.

That is the most tasteful 997x I've ever seen. Congratulations. Now if Getty made an equivalent wing for a cab, I'd line up right now.

Very, very nice look there.

Maybe it's just me but I would work a deal on the BBS' with your pal and get a refund.

Classic looking as is and it all ties in well together.

That look is worth mimicking and I am really picky too.

Thanks for all the compliments. LM are always a classic but forgeline provides me a three piece wheel in a lightweight configuration with killer endless finish options... Stay tuned

How do you like the KW v3's? I keep getting close to ordering them, but not quite there yet.
How is the ride over bumps / pot-holes / pavement cracks etc?

Thanks.

KW V3 > PSS10... I know I am probably going to start a war here so I will just end it there
