Duck tail. Simple and classic design that fits the 993.

I hate the duck tail. You should replace yours with a RS tail and I will be a nice guy and come pick up your duck tail and get rid of it for you. I'm just that good of a guy!

Why anyone would want a duck tail on their 911 is beyond me. Almost as hideous as the whale tails from the early eighties 911.

Its obviously a subjective and personal style choice. I for one really the duck tail if done properly. It is a throwback to other body designs while still maintaining some of the more modern lines and curves.

If you're on a budget and/or save weight, get the duck. The RS will cost you 3x the duck since you will need the front splitter and side skirts.

If $$$ is not much of an issue, get BOTH. Seriously. They are a snap to chage out. Hang one on the wall of your garrage. Change them out whenever the mood strikes. The duck goes well visually with the RS front splitter and side skirts. (Unless you're at the track or driving high speed).

The duck also works at the track, and at high speeds.

Thanks for posting your pics. I'm pretty sure I've got a turbo bumper in my future, and want to do something with the tail. I thought I was set on a duck, but this gives me something else to consider. I don't think I want skirts, and yours looks great without.
