The duck crowd may be small but distinguished

Sorry, I meant specifically if you bought the bumper beam as the euro part, not the bumper cover since you just put the CF cover. Is it 2 rivets on the top and bottom that are attached to the beam that you drilled out?
#17: $447.35 (mine came with heat shield #22)

I just got my duck in the mail from Getty designs. It looks to be in pretty great shape. Unfortunately I need to wait another two weeks before my brake light blank panel arrives so I can have them both painted at the same time.
One part I'm not sure I'm thrilled with are the wire mesh for the top vents. Curious if you guys with Getty ducks used the ones provided or some other form of wire mesh? Did you paint them or go with a stainless look? What did you use to glue them into place after the part was painted?
Finally, can you show me how your fan plug and engine bay light plug are routed?
Thank you

Yes, lots of better looking black meshes out there. Body shops should have different epoxy or fiberglass techniques to keep it in place.
A couple other recommendations.. Make sure your body shop guy fits the 3rd brake light in 1st and fills in any gaps. At least on my fitment there was some minor fill in that was needed to make sure brake light looked great. Also be extra careful with the 3rd brake light tips at each end. They can snap off really easy. One last suggestion. I painted the inside of the ducktail black. That part you see when you look down into the vent openings, even with the mesh in place, if it is not black the unfinished fiber glass is not the nicest thing to look at. Paint it black to match the fan that will be attached and it will look much better.

Just installed a Getty Design Sport Ducktail. I paid for the primer service and wiring harness. Did a test fit before sending it off to paint and no adjustments needed since Getty has an actually car they check the fit on. The wiring harness was plug and play an worked without a hitch. I used the wire mesh as is and had them paint the inside silver, Seems to work for now. I bought the upper latch and the proper bolts from the dealership which cost under twenty bucks. They supply the proper rubber bumpers that are adjustable. I’m really happy with Getty’s customer service, shipping and the actual ducktail is first class.
