Default If it quacks like a duck ( ducktail installed )

I ended up getting my ducktail and grill form Rennspeed Motorsports ( no affiliation ) I decided to get the center reflector painted white too. I will work on a clever way to add the reverse lights when I get the time. Quite happy with the results. Now I just need to get the coilovers, mirrors ( haven't decided on them yet), and RS brake ducts/clear corner lights.

Nice! I really like the color scheme white/black thing you have going - and have been considering the painted center section too.

Good stuff!

Your car looks great....Nice job......I also like the Pegasus decal's.......Seems to be your trademark now.......LoL.

Why do you want to lower the car more...seems perfect for me for street duty? That is about the ride height I will be looking for in the future.

Not that it needs to be any lower but I would like the front at euro RS height +5 to 10 mil. That and a good corner balance and alignment.

Love it. I wish I had a duck on my car! They look so good on a 964...and stunning with your wheel set up. You've pulled together lots of great details and made a very unique looking car. It works!

Keep the Pegasus!

Regarding the backup lights.
Something like this would work:
HIGH POWER 18W LED BACK-UP LIGHT LICENSE PLATE FRAME

Has anybody done a painted center section with the PORSCHE letters reversed-out?

Thanks for the compliments. I am also trying to figure out if I can get my fabricator friend to make a decent looking mount for the sebring mirrors. If we can't get something satisfactory I will be doing satin black aero mirrors. As far as the back up lights go I was going to see if I could make it work in the rear fog section of the tail lights...Haven't had a chance to pull them apart to see what could be done. The license plate LED's would be simpler.

Mr. Spacely you and I are on the same page. I was thinking of just getting a black die cut sticker for the rear reflector in black and putting it there. Either that or go with the 73 RS style negative space Porsche font on the bottom of the duck tail. It needs something as its too plain back there at the moment.

Sebring mirrors?! Nice choice and will definitely add to the retro theme.

What type of base are you thinking of? Do you want to get the mirrors in closer to the body? Otherwise the flag base you have works nicely with the Sebring mirrors, especially painted black.

I am trying to get something a little slimmer and rounded. Kind of like the ones the RWB guys use. Just need to make it big enough to cover the factory holes. Ideally I would love to do the cup mirrors mounted to the quarter windows but I am not going to fill and repaint my mint condition doors just for mirrors. Its not out of the question to go your route and use the factory base and paint it black. I look at your pics all the time as a reference.
