Default Porsche sport classic duck tail

So why is it cool on a sport classic to the point where people are rubbing one out on them. Yet we have not done anything like it. I know Michael Shaw (not Misha as I previously wrote) makes one.

Why not the 996 crowd?

Personally I'm not a rice wing guy. Let alone hit the needs of 170mph. What's wrong with building a nice 996r?or 996st canyon runner with a duck tail? It's something different.


Just throwing it out there for dicussion.

I would like to see a 996 with duck tail, with the fusch replica wheels, should look pretty cool

I think it's awesome!! I have a cab so think it wouldn't look right but if I had a coup I would be all over it. Are Misha and Michael Shaw the same company? I emailed one of them a year ago and the wing was $1000. Add fitting and painting....

My mistake, who knew that two companies would have such a similar name?

Looks to me like a GoPro camera on the suction cup mount.

Cool

If I didn't already have a taco spoiler, I would get that sugar scoop!
