Atgani thanks for sharing the pics . It's nice to see others that have similar visions for the look of their cars .

It looks like my initial assessment was wrong, the Getty actually looks longer than the CSR.

My initial reaction to the white car is:
A. The car looks great
B. The duck is big
Not saying big is good or bad . But if the car was black or dark blue it might look different .

White with the ducktail is a classic look, the original Bürzel was on a 1973 Carrera RS… which were white.

Agree 100 % . But I stand by my statement about color and the illusion of size .

So, you're saying that even though a black duck might actually be bigger, a white duck *looks* bigger?

Very interesting.

With all things being equal yes . To my eye and it's just my opinion that a ducktail painted black or dark blue will look different in proportion to one painted white . The darker color tends to blend more . White really pops when clean and just looks different . No real proof just anecdotal .

Not trying to be controversial just an opinion . They ALL look good in my opinion . And so do taco wings and many of the different styles . It's great that we have so many choices available .

I will say that having a Slate car, which is darker than Seal gray, hides alot of the CF from a distance.

Certainly not a duck, but some sort of waterfowl…More akin to the one on the boxster poster earlier. I like that it retains the auto raise/lower of the stock spoiler…
