There was a guy on the GT3 forum that had a duck tail on his GT3 and IMHO looked really bad. SInce the GT3 is looks-wise just like a narrow body carrera, that would give you a good idea.

I don't know the thread off hand but do a search in the GT3 sub forum and you will find it.

If you're going retro, MA Shaw has an RS America looking wing that I think you might like better.

After you install the duck tail and don't like it, I guess you could always remove it and attach it to your tractor and use it as a snow plow.

In other words, don't do it!

Looks good on the earlier wide-bodies, but there are much better alternatives for the nb 996 imho.

I love that color though. If I didn't have a blue interior I swear I would consider a color change.........

Do whatever you want, but IMHO you will be killing the 996

If that color is Mexico Blue, your factory Marina blue interior will look perfect with it.

Umm - "No".

Goes great on some older 911's but not on a 996.

I don't like it either, but if it came attached to a RUF car I guess I could live with it!
