Flying ducktail deployed. A bit OTT for me so I disabled the lift using the Foxwell NT510/520 diagnostic tool

Flying ducktail is a bit smaller than some and is a nice homage to the original RS ducktail. However I think the company in Taiwan no longer sells them

You honestly can't go wrong as long as you're going with something subtle like the sport classic. It looks good with or without so you can swap back and forth as your mood changes.

You;re right, once deployed, that ducktail looks like a horny unicorn.

For the fraction of a second, I thought that the ''trunk'' was open, so it ain't for me, but I do think that this ducktail is one of the nicest ones while closed. Once open, not so much.

I like the Getty ducktail but IMO, it looks good when the rest of the car has been done right; lowered, aero bumper, nice wheel setup, OEM 3rd brake light removed etc.

All these cars look bada$$ with the ducky. IMHO. And, yes, I am biased.
Oh, very stable at 140mph. Dunno, braking into turn 1 at 140 though, without rear lift (upsetting the car), if that makes sense.

I like both. Slight edge to no ducktail.

So by your logic, I should putt a curly little tail on my car?

BTW, can anyone post a full on straight side profile pic?
I just looked through, and at least on my phone, I did not see one.
I am just curious.
Here is what I mean:

no duck
