I am 43 and I love the look. A little 70's ducky, 80's bbs and black guards. I have never liked another car more than a 911 and have since I starting liking cars so to me this modern interpretation looks tasty and well done. Am guessing that the new "Fuchs" also look "vintage" to some. nice pics as well

Fantastic photos and a gorgous car... the ductail though doesn't work for me in any angle but side angle... for some reason this one looks quite different than the Carrera Classic Porsche one that looked just amazing. I think it's bit narrower or so...

Thanks! Overall, the Getty ducktail is great quality, and most I have seen on the forums seem to fit beautifully. I am having trouble getting the lower right corner (where it meets the bumper and taillight) to sit as low as the left side, which fits perfectly. I did the usual pre-paint test fit, did a little sanding here and there to make sure all lines were perfectly straight, cut the second intake hole for my X-51 air box, and holes for the wiring to run the fixed wing cable properly. I even went as far as elongating the mounting hole on the hinge that bolts to the ducktail, but cannot get that corner to sit flush. After hours of adjusting and aligning, making sure nothing in the engine bay was hitting the tail, I've pretty much come to the conclusion that it came out of the mold a little "off", as is expected with most fiberglass pieces. It's not terrible, but it's not perfect
