Default Ordering duck tail!

I have not been a fan of my Targa having an incorrect T-Tail since I bought it, but let it go for obvious reasons. I've now decided to get a duck tail, preferably from Pelican and get it sprayed at my trusted shop. I currently have stock a/c and it looks like the D-tail will come " grill less". What are the other necessities I need to buy???

Very Nice, thanks! My A/C is bolted to the underside of the T-Tail. All simply bolts the same? I might alsoask my speed shop if he already has a used one, that is all setup. He has parts galore, he is very well known on the east coast and actually Seinfeld's mechanic. Whats the basic market value of a painted D-tail and what's my T-Tail worth as well!/

I've seen FG tails go from 300-600 bucks...the steel and FG like 1100 I think (new). That is prior to fitting/painting. I've been looking for one too.
Your present tail I have no idea.

Did you look at Bisimoto also? I have been eyeballing one for a while, just can't make a decision as I love the clean lines (especially mine being a narrow body)

I've been entertaining the Carrera tail Idea as well. Any good leads on those? I remember asking my mechanic and they are very tough to come by used.

FG duck quality is all over the map. I had great luck with my Getty Design bit-quality all the way. MA Shaw used to get his from Getty. There will not be any provision for bolting the condenser on, out of the box, typically.
