would like to know how to dis-assemble the additional aerokit cup part from the ducktail?
my PPF installer prefers to apply PPF on that part on the bench.
all inputs are welcome.

Found this pic of one!

Question Unicorn hunting ??

The 991.1 is a keeper! They changed my order to a .2 in 2017, and I have no complaints. I am a lucky guy; as we all are!

I have a question for the Porsche Historians here. In the brief period they made the 991.1 Targa, did they ever ship one with a duck tail?

The 991 Targa's can't have the ducktail or an aftermarket wing. The mechanism would rip it off when it opens. It's a shame because it would look very oldschool.

Hello Frank,

I was looking at the thread you started on the ducktail and was hoping your could share the link for the after market supplier you bought the duck tail spoiler from. I'm looking to do the same.


​​​​​​​I appreciate it.

Coding it all up was surprisingly easy!

I found a setting relating to the brake light in the spoiler and set that to false. That disabled the warning AND allowed the new brake light to work! Ah yea!

I’m looking to add ducktail to my 991.1 myself. I’ve done a bunch of coding using thinkdiag. Question is: since the third brake light is moved from the stock tail to new ducktail. What happens with the light operation. I thought the third brake light only came on when tail was up. If I code the tail to not go up using thinkdiag won’t that keep the light from coming on the ducktail

Third brake light moved from the grille to the ducktail, not from the stock tail to the ducktail​​​​.

There was some setting (I don't remember what it was specifically anymore) I needed to change to get the 3rd brake light to work, it did not work automatically.
