Hey Matt, nice car! I noticed you kept both brake lights installed, do they all come on when you brake?

Count me in if this is still a thing. I am also wondering who here knows how to get ahold of Misha? I have tried them a few times over the past week or two and no one answers and they haven’t replied to any emails. They still in business or are they a victim of thIs dumpster fire economy?

Thank you - only the duck tail brake light functions - the duck tail came with a new wiring harness for the deck lid to enable this.

Best,

Matt

I'm still interested in purchasing a ducktail as well, but wondering when this might come to fruition. Does anyone know of an alternative source?

I have just ordered one of these, yes UK based.
https://rpmtechnik.co.uk/shop-produc...rbon-ducktail/

See the link to their full builds.
https://csrporsche.co.uk

A video showing the production process.

These are highly regarded in the UK and the advice has been they come with a 100% fit and finish.

IIRC that's a Getty Design "Ducktail Sport" - lotsa positive reviews for that one.
The CSR/RPMTechnik tail is also well regarded (easier/quicker if you're on the other side of the pond)

Hey all, I have followed up with Steve a few times and he hasn't responded. I have went with another duckbill spoiler since then but I will try a few more times to see if he responds for everyone.

Has anyone put one of these on a Turbo? I'm curious to see what it looks like.

I bought the Bayson R one that seems to be a replica of the Flying ducktail. Returned it though since the grills are fiberglass and weren't too great. Warped and lots of pits. It also didn't have the TBL cutout so it looks like it's designed to be used as a fixed wing. Low price though so if you wanted to fab up your own grill, its a decent starting point. I decided I'd rather go another route since I wanted the flying ducktail style to retain the active lift thing we got going on. Overall, easy ordering and return process with good communication. Just know that what you're getting isn't a perfect piece but a good basis for something more custom if you plan to get the Bayson R one.

That is awesome! I'd get this over the Getty for the extra cash. The only drawback is that the vents are more open allowing water and debris to enter more easier.
