My preference is OEM or a high quality aftermarket such as TA.

OEM is aluminum I believe.

Fiberglass is tough because they quality can be inconsistent -- there sometimes needs to be special fitting, and it's less durable in holding the paint. This is all from my experience but may not be universal.

 

Fiberglass wings are fine if they come from a good company. I think even some OEM wings are fiberglass (could be wrong). EVS should make a mold of the factory ducktail. There are some on the market by MAShaw and Getty but they seem a little off. I think they tried to recreate it based off of pictured instead of making a mold from a factory one.

 

All tail is expensive.

 

some more than others.. lol

anyways, just because it is expensive doesn't mean it should be expensive.

Misha and GT3tek makes nice wings at a reasonable price..

so i am hoping someone makes the oem ducktail replica

 

if its aluminum, i can see the cost rising.. but do they cast it or is it forged ?

 

i m beginning to like the Getty design sport ducktail..

and the price is very reasonable.

has anyone seen it in person ?

 

There was a good thread on teamspeed regarding this a while back. In that thread, someone from EVS mentioned that it was not possible for them to source more OE SC duck tails. They also had a demo project going called "project subtle good looks" where they ended up using a 3rd party. It looks very good.

I am not sure if I can post a direct link to another forum here but you should definitively search for it.

From that thread it looks like the MA Shaw version is the closest one to the original.

thx for the heads up..
the yellow one i posted above was also found in MA Shaw webite..
looks great!
