Default ANY TAIL THERE TO BE USED WITH THE STOCK TAIL ?

I MEAN, AN OPEN TYPE TAIL THAT DOES NOT INTERFERE WITH THE USE OF THE STANDARD TALE THAT RAISES AUTOMATICALLY ABOVE 40 MPH

ANY LINKS ?

I FOUND THIS 964 WITH THIS TAIL AND IT'S SIMILAR TO WHAT I AM LOOKING FOR, BUT MAYBE A BIT SMALLER, MORE REFINED...

WHAT DO YOU GUYS ADVISE ON THIS ?

First of all, using capital letters for the entire post means you are yelling.

Second of all, all I can think of is the "handle" type of spoiler that attaches to the original one.

P.S. the one in the picture is butt ugly!!

The only one I can think of is the Gambella unit, that looks identifical to the standard 964 spoiler but has the extra large lip on the back to create more down force. Working in the same way - very pricey last time I looked.

Personally I would leave as standard of go for something extreme like the 3.8RSR spolier- which just shouts F@ck You.

For something in between check out the RS Amercia spolier athough IMHO I think it looks like a tea tray off a 3.2 carrera - a little dated unless you have a widebody and what to look like a Turbo.

Hope this helps Andy

Keeping the standard rising tail and adding a fixed wing seems to be at odds with each other, both visually and functionally. The whole point of the standard rising tail is to be functional at speed, yet maintain the more standard 911 lines at rest. Recommend either keep the stock rising tail, or replace it. I happen to like the 3.2/RSA-style tail, however, there are a number of choices available.

If I wanted a tail that much "in your face", I would go with the RS3.8 wing. Much better looking than that monstrosity in the photo.

I love fixed spoilers on 911s but that one in the photo looks like it was built in shop class!

Ok, I'll ommit capital letters, hehehe...

The tail on the pic is ugly, yes, that's why I asked you guys for your advise

I will keep the stock one only, I know it's functional and the look is fine
