Funny, as I think duck's look great on a 964 but even better on a 993.....I would think it would be the other way round......weird.

Don't all 911s before the 993 look the same anyway, lol.

I agree, they look great on the 993.

So I take it this requires an electric spoiler delete?
Agree - I like the look

I remember the car because I really liked what he did with the interior (and the duck).

I like the Daffy tag idea!

PS: Just notice you guys also have a unique rear tow hook location. Very slick!

It does but I haven't done that yet. That light comes on every time I hit the highway. This weekends project.

Do the hinges have to be changed to install a duck on a 964?

I like them, of course I'm biased my last car was a 73

I reused the same hinges. The Ducktail from Getty had two different mount points for the hinges. It didn't come with the grill or the hardware to attach the grill.

I thought so at first myself Thomas but I love the look now. I plan on a few more detail changes to sort of "back date" the car too. Not a full on tribute car but just something along the lines of the older cars.

Nice. I will actually be picking my car up this Friday from the bodyshop. I got a ducktail and had the center tail light section painted white too. Also had the lower rockers re done in black. I'll post pics ASAP.

Hey Cosmos - can't wait to see your pics - I'm mulling painting the center reflector too...

Here's a few shots of mine - Getty I believe... I picked up a set of OEM brackets used on the RSA's to fit the narrower mounting points.
