Hey Scott, was wondering if you'd chime in. Are those recent pics, if so, I see the side decals have disappeared? Inquiring minds...

Hey Roger,

Yes this is my new look. Something different. I still have another set of Silver Carrera Script that I can add later if I want to go back to that look. I kind of like the plain look for now. Maybe even a Set of Blk Carrera Script might look good.

Thanks Mark, I guess now's a good time to get my stone guards replaced. Maybe over the Christmas break. Will you be around?

Scott, your car's looking great! We've got a few cars coming in around the holidays, so we'll be here.

The black script might look pretty good with the black wheels. More subtle with the Arena Red. Kind of like the subtle silver stripes on the new sport edition in your sig line.

Doesn't the duck tail trap snow and fill the engine bay with it?

I am putting an Aero 1 package on my car. In researching the installation, I did a web search which pulled a 'how' to article on the Pelican Parts website. In that article, they make mention of a wiring harness/ termination that has to happen with the kit installation to deal specifically with that issue. This has to happen so the car "thinks" everything is normal.

If you run the search, it will pop up...

Regarding the lack of downforce thing, it would seem reasonable to assume that a ducktail reduces rear lift at least as much as the stock movable spoiler on a 993. If that was not the case, then why does the megabuck 997 Sport Classic have a ducktail?

My ducktailed "ex"...I miss it.

WOW
it really looks like this tail would dramtically lighten the front end of the car at speed.
looks must be deceiving?
