Does anyone have a link to pictures of this? I'm considering getting a fiberglass duck tail for my white 993 C4S.
Thanks in advance.

EDIT: wait a minute, do you even have an S? Your car looks "narrow" in your avatar.

jackb911 has one installed on his car, I PMed him about this a couple weeks ago. -Here is the info he gave me:
Hi, John,
The ducktail is from Rennspeed ( www.rennspd.com ). I believe they are the only ones who make a 993 ducktail. The fit is actually very good. It is also a LOT lighter than the stock lid with the moveable spoiler, and the engine temp seems to be a bit cooler as I believe the fiberglass doesn't hold in the heat like the steel lid does. You will need a '78-'89 engine grill, as the 993 one won't work.
The item is listed @ $450 on the site, here is a link:http://www.rennspd.com/P_Detail.asp?PID=160&Task=STD

Thanks hans. Hopefully we will see you soon on a drive either here or in Canada.
The tail is from Rennspeed. My tail needed a lot of work to get it to look good and fit right. I would budget for well over $1,000 (probably closer to $1,500 at a good shop) by the time you buy the tail, have it shipped, buy the hardware, buy the engine grill, buy the long T bolts for the engine grill (BTW: Porsche no longer sells long T bolts), body work and fitment, then have it painted. These things are never as easy as they seem nor as just cheap as you would like.

Here's a couple pics of my ducktail, but the car is a NB.
Unlike Scooter's Rennspeed ducktail, mine fit very well and needed no major massaging. It even lined up perfectly on the first try.
