Fitment is perfect

, you just need to lower it.

Duck Tail vs Whale Tail.....which do you prefer?

Which Tail? Either look needs Fuchs IMO.

I'm with Vegas on this one. I love the lines on the tail but can't seem to "love it."

I don't love the wheels, but the SC ducktail is a 10! Maybe 11 (in the Spinal Tap sense).

Wonder what it would look like on a black Targa...

mathfuzzy....here's a black 997 from mashaw's web page. I can't decide between the duck or "mini" whale tale! Leaning towards the ducktail with GT3Tek's new rear bumper.

Thanks! Although, it would be good if it weren't as good looking as it turns out to be...
