I am looking to get the Getty Design ducktail. Anyone have issues with rain water? How do you keep it from entering the intake?

Quick tip, just search Google with “Rennlist” to search for threads.

I have the Getty Sport Ducktail on my 09 4s and there's no issue with water entering the intake. Driven it nearly 35k miles in all weather.

I love the ducktail on mine but can also see an argument for the clean slopped back when the factory spoiler isn’t deployed. At the same time, I think a ducktail on a completely stock car looks sort of goofy.

Also, zero issues with the intake and water ingress and it’s been through many drive thru car washes and rain.

Just put a Getty on my GTS.
Matched it with an OEM Speedster/Sport Classic front lip.

Interesting history on the duck: https://www.hagerty.co.uk/articles/c...sche-ducktail/
