you sure you don't really like the stock option and would like to give the RSA a eurotrip

If I was to stray from oem it would be duck. To me the duck is timeless, niether looks too old or too new. When it comes to a Cabrio or Targa I would stay oem especially on a Cabrio.

kgorman - Thanks, dude!

Something else to perhaps consider are wheels. It has always felt, to me anyway, that the type of wheel affects how the car looks with/without a wing (of any kind). For example, with Cup I's, I personally think ANY wing (other than stock) looks worse. But with my Fikses, I think my car looks 'naked' without a wing of some sort.

I don't know; maybe it's just me...

Regards all,

Dave

Nothing....IMO the rear of the stock 964 is too narrow to run a wing as it just not proportional to the rest of the car. Even on my car that's 4 inches wider than a standard NB, I ran the smallest wing I could....which is a highly modified duck tail....looks good tho...

+1!

I've got the CF MAShaw piece. Sometimes I wish I'd left it in raw CF though, might look cool on the black car. Anyone know if there is a way to strip paint off of carbon fiber, without damaging the weave underneath?

I'm also starting to dig the look of the 3.8 RS wing on a narrowbody with the top "biplane" piece removed. Saw it somewhere on here, and can't find it again. Looked really good I thought though.


BTW, here's mine:

I swear I saw the your car parked at the Clyde's restaraunt in Ashburn, VA last Thanksgiving...it must have a VA based twin. Black 964 cab with the turbo wing. Crazy! Lookin good.

thanks for all the pictures!

Think I'm heading towards an RSA, though I'd like to see a ducktail firsthand before I make my final decision

Check out Rennlist member Ed Hughes (911 forum) - His User Pic is a targa with ducktail - slammed! Looks fantastic. The original Targa is now a retro classic in my book, so needs that retro duck tail to finish it off!

here's the idea - (minus the graphics)! http://forsale.classicandperformance...ad=12258&d=975
