I just wanted to bring your attention to the fact the aperture of the 993 is different than the 964 and earlier cars. The 993 is wider and shorter IF I recall correctly. I know because I bought a 993 duck that will not fit my 964. Do your research.

Does anyone make a ducktail for the 993 Targa that isn't quite so tall? Looking for a bit more subtle look? Also, does anyone make a split grill?

Just wanted to add that Carbone has just released a new tail (spoiler) for the 964 and will probably adapt it for the 993 (if they haven't already). It's similar to the Singer / Kaege Theon type tails in that it replaces the operable spoiler, and the rest of the deck lid stays the same. This one sticks up a bit more than the Singer/Theon ones by the looks of it. It's a bit too stylized and "svelt" for my tastes, but I do like the split metal grill - I'd love to see it in chrome. Price is also tough to stomach when you can get a fixed RS style ducktail for so much less.

If you are considering the "DLS" style tail, and hoping to fit an intercooler under, I would do some research and contact the seller about it. Some sites show pics of the underside and some do not. It looks like the vents in the back go to a space that's closed off fromt he engine bay by a cover plate, and there's a cross-bar that looks fairly low (close to the engine) compared with the RS style tail. See what I mean in these rather comprehensive pics...

I was thinking the same thing.
