dbTarga996 is on a distinguished road
Not a 997 but heres the Misha Ducktail on my 02 Targa. As for the hump that you get from the misha ducktail , can you explain a little bit more in depth how to get it to sit flush ?

The entire decklid is attached to hinges that swivel up when you open the engine bay. The decklid is attached to these hinges with 4 bolts. if you loosen, but not remove the 4 bolts you will notice that you can make minor adjustments to the angle of the decklid. By changing the angle you can effectively lower the leading edge of the decklid so that the top edge of your ducktail comes more in line with the 3rd brake light area. The stock holes only allow a little bit of angle change. If you want the decklid to be more flush with the 3rd brake light area then you will have to modify the bracket holes further.

You will have to remove your fan (3 bolts) and then remove the 4 bolts carefully so the decklid does not fall and damage anything. Then remove the entire decklid and set aside carefully. It is a 2 minute procedure to remove the entire decklid.

Once the decklid is removed you will then modify the holes on the swivel bracket where the bolts went through. These need to be larger so you can angle your decklid as much as you need. I had to modify the holes to be larger by using a round file. It will take several test fitments to get it right. Most likely you will have to file downward and back towards the bumper 2-3 mm. .

I attached pic showing bracket and 2 bolts on each side.
took me less then an hour start to finish.

I am going with the Getty design. Just want to thank those that were kind enough to answer my stupid questions. Some of the people here are really quite nice. I will post pics when it's done. Hopefully I can find someone to do the "stripes".

My OEM turbo tail is for sale if anyone is interested.

I would think you could get pretty close just by measuring your deck lid and then doing the math relative to the stripes (or strips ) on the lid. '

I believe you have a 997.1 which means you'll have to do a complete front bumper conversion. Suncoast sell it.
