When you mention "disassembly of the motorized wing" is the wing completely disabled,
or can it still be raise by the console button?
Coding out the auto activation is easily done.
Just wondering about access under duck tail for service and bumper skin removal.

You could repurpose the console button for "Ejection Seat" a la James Bond's DB5.

Am currently looking closely (literally) at the front air shutter assembly with the idea of making it go away (like GTS).

Gunther duck
Carbon scoop
What we need is a ducktail like this one that has the carbon scoop for extra air flow.

I had the same experience, so after 5 and a half years of nagging, I finally decided to take the project on.
Met with the Composites company developing a 991.2 Ducktail on Friday. The molds should be under construction soon.
Picture is 3D printed model made from 3D scan derived design.
3D printed model made to do final refinement on prior to production of final molds.
As a bit of market survey, what would preferences be between: 1. Clear Carbon Fiber, 2. Carbon Fiber in primer or 3. Fiberglass in primer for $250 less than Carbon Fiber pricing (currently undetermined)?
As currently proposed this Ducktail would use the existing baseplate and center mounted brake light which would require disassembly of the motorized wing. The disassembly took me 30 minutes the first time I did it.
The alternative would be to source the baseplate and light from a recycler.
Updates in the not-too-distant future.

The person I sold my 991.1 OE ducktail kit to installed it on a 991.2 GT3 successfully

This is great news! I’d definitely stick with primer carbon fiber. The OEM spoiler is a brick back there and anything to also help remove weight is always a plus. For some reason I thought the whole spoiler was attached to a large metal plate which added to the weight. I agree with @4 Point 0 , this ducktail needs to be more than for looks and could use the extra lip as shown in his pictures above. You might also want to reach out to @Grantsfo who has been on a weight saving rampage and would probably have great ideas on the attachment point. Might as well make this ducktail to be the end-all-be-all solution! “Build it and the they will come”!

Since I didn't reply in thread - agree Cabon Fiber in Primer.
Also would need to work on a stock GTS not just other variants...at least for me. I am not sure if the GTS attachment etc is any different than Base or S models.
