Not sure what to think... the car looks good with all the upgrades though.

 

love it....where did he get the duck tail....Sharp

 

I did a little digging. More info on the car here: http://www.revoms.com/featured-project-2006-911-s-2/


The "997 Carrera sport ducktail Spoiler" is from MASHAW. http://www.mashaw.com/html/product_info.html

 

The tail is from MAShaw and I bought quite a bit of stuff from him when I was working on my 993.

 

I dig it. I like how the wheels come right to the edge. Good look.

 

those wheels just dont fit the car no question about that.

 

It needs the Fuchs Wheels to complete the Sports Classic look. I am thinking about converting my C2 over to that look. Mashaw and Getty Design make the ducktail. Getty is local to me with a body shop next door to do the paint and install. I think it will come out to about $1200 for the wing primed, then $600 to paint and install. The Fuchs are expensive, but you can get a set of AG Classics for $1200.

Here's the thread I started the other day asking for opinions on the Duck Tail look.

^^^^ Thanks...that is exactly how I would do it as well...with the Fuchs...I may see if I could snag a PDK though ...

 

Funny coming across this here, I took the pictures of that car for them. The ducktail was an interesting upgrade, first 997 I'd seen with it (apart from the SC). I thought it suited the character of the car quite well, with the standard Carrera S bumpers. Sporty, but not overly aggressive.

ADV.1 sent out wheels that were made to fit the widebodied 997s like the Turbo by mistake, so the rear offset was a couple MMs too low. ADV later corrected this, but the day the wheels were first put on the car and discovered to be a bit off was the same day we had scheduled the photoshoot. I had lugged a bunch of gear out there, and the owner gave us the go ahead on the shoot, so we went ahead and took some photos.

 

I love it! Great Job!

 

It looks great. MAShaw makes some really nice products...

 

Looks like I am the only one who does not feel it. Matter of preferences I guess

 

i love the way that looks

 

Because the 1973 RS with the 2.7L was my dream car as a kid, I am a big fan of the ducktail. In fact, I am having one installed as we speak.

But I am just not sure about the Fuchs on modern cars; in 18 or 19" sizes, the proportions seem off to me. The only ones that I think look good are the OE Sport Classic wheels but they are only available for WB cars.

Just my 0.02,
