Does Anyone Make a Ducktail Add on Spoiler?
Just curious if anyone makes just the ducktail add on, without the entire deck lid? I ask because one thing that bugs me about the ducktail lids is the way they stick up higher than the stock decklid line (from the side). I would love to buy another stock decklid and fabricate a ducktail to it to have perfect OEM fitment. Any ideas?
Here is a picture of what I mean by "sticking up higher". Sorry if this is someone's car on the forum. The car is gorgeous, but I wanted to show what I was referring to.
I actually really like the look of the stock decklid on the 964, but having a widebody, I feel the ducktail works really well with it.

The ducktail spoilers i've seen all have terrible fitment- There is one company that you send your decklid to and they actually fabricate the ducktail part onto the original lid itself. I think if you do a search for it you will find it, i'm not sure i remember what it was called.

Thanks guys. I looked up Stratton and it seems to have the exact same aesthetic that I am trying to avoid. Here is a post on a thread that is talking about what I am referring to.

A buddy of mine has one on his forward-dated g-body. A duck look great with wide 964 fenders/bumpers.
I know what you mean about the side profile, that took me by surprise the first time I noticed that detail.

Have you seen the overpriced version of the original Singer style...

I think someone could make a killing if they based a deck lid loosely off of this one. With a more narrow ducktail to keep the lines of the car better.

Search "stratton ducktail" for you want it flush on the sides. He puts the duck, over a stock engine lid.

Since he makes them to order, perhaps you could specify the look that you want.

He seems like a talented fabricator, but his communication style is... interesting.

He seems to maintain a couple forum threads that he uses to communicate with people: http://forums.pelicanparts.com/porsc...ail-now-5.html

I'm curious what you find out. I'm looking for the same type of duck for my SC. The raised edge of most ducks is not my cup of tea.
