Just curious, is this a factory SportDesign Pkg ducktail, or added aftermarket?

This is the factory (OEM) Aero kit Cup ducktail with the upper wing removed.

You're going to hate me if you're as OCD as me about this stuff. Mine is a true factory SportDesign car too, but I noticed that my left side panel doesn't line up very well, and more so on the left than the right. I was thinking if at some point a previous owner had to replace the ducktail, but I have seen a few other ducktail owners that theirs look exactly the same (including yours) ...but some are perfect. Either way, it makes me feel a bit better lol. Could just be from having to remove it and the bumper for almost every service imaginable in these.

Still don't think there is a ducktail available for the dot 2's... must be some issues with routing the air to all the turbos and intercoolers...

‘my Indy mechanic takes the ducktail off often (during service), so I would assume it could be reinstalled slightly “off”

I don't think there is room for any adjustment for the ducktail wing part. just a few bolts holding it in place.

There are 2 bolts holding it on. No adjustment possibility. It sits on the mount you see here just above my airbox with 5 bolts in it.

FYI 991.2 owners. Getty Design has announced "Ducktails for All". Would strongly suggest contacting them to indicate interest for a version for our cars.

Take it to the best "luxury" collision shop around you. I had mine adjusted a fair amount so there is a way to sleep at night..

Default Ducktail + Plank

One more wing on top of the ducktail~ (Do you want to look a little stronger?)
