How's the performance at speed? (Above 125mph) Many years ago I discovered how significant an aero aid can be when the system is really challenged above 125 mph.
May have install a front lip now to compensate. I would imagine even more downforce with some of the other higher tails out there. I just liked the lower subtle look myself.

Looks great. What kind of exhaust did you install?
Was getting really tired of scrubbing the carbon from the porous brushed oem tips. Now it just a wipe with a damp paper towel.

Looks great. Did Pfaff put incorporate anything into the trunk lid to stop the rain from going directing into your air intake/water?
The grilles were in actual Porsche bags with part numbers. Phaff did what they said was a pre bake of the tail looking for air bubbles. Found none and said it was excellent quality. Paint match was uncanny for an 8 year old car.

Yah, id be concerned with the water ingress as it seems to have an unobstructed passage to your intake. But your car looks great with it bro, hope you do not mind but can you share how much your duck cost? Looking at your ride is one good ad for misha.
Dealing with them was a total joy! Plus being in Canada I paid shipping , exchange , duties & taxes. Lets just say around a grand with paint and Areo harness. Was worth every penny though. Love the look and the comments never stop. |

That said, I have noticed that at 75mph (legal in Texas) the ducktail has more downforce than the OEM pop-up spoiler so I now am looking for a small front splitter/spoiler.

Never go that fast ;) but it does feel like therès more downforce. May have install a front lip now to compensate.

The ducktail looks really nice and may very well generate more downforce but if you can feel this at highway speeds, then you gentlemen have some very sensitives asses :eek:

Looks great!
What wheels are those?? Also...be curious to see what you come up with for a front lip/spoiler! I've been looking my incoming 997.2 and not seeing much other than $1600 stuff. |

I'm leaning towards a urethane spoiler as it'll flex rather than break like a fibreglass or carbon one.

Thanks for the wheel info.
Ya, that's the issue I'm having when searching, there seem to be NO flexible CHEAP lips for the 997.2 like there are for the previous models. I mean $1100, $900, hell even $500 is ridiculous for a disposable part like that. |
It's nice how it complements the 997 shape. It shows how nicely the 997 was designed, staying within the fundamental 911 shape, that a ducktail still looks mighty good on it!

Nothing close to OEM ductail, so much cleaner and better implemented.

Not usually a big fan of rear spoilers for street cars, but, wow, these look great!
