And does anyone have an extra engine lid grill? I'm loving the simple no tail look lately.

I used to prefer tails. Now not so much. Not sure why the change of heart, but I seem to really only dig the turbo tails and the ducktails, not so much the carrera tails anymore. Sorry, can't help you with the engine grill, but you can pick up a plastic one really cheap - try the pelican classifieds.

I'm all about the clean 911 shape; so I say ditch the tail!

Particularly with a lowered car, I like the no-tail look! I guess you've decided to keep it?

peritus

Yes, I took it off the market - although the fire still burns for a 993, I would want to slit my wrists if I saw this beast driving away from my driveway with a new owner.

It's a 15/10 on the FUN factor... which makes up for the 5/10 on the COMFORT factor... Lot's of life left in her too, with 45,000 original miles on the 3.6!

See you at the track?

I like the look of no tail, but these cars do appreciate the downforce in the rear tires.

Maybe I should put some chunks of lead in the engine bay to compensate?

Duck ???

Ta Da!

The (almost) finished product. There is still a ring around the hole where the whale tail was... need to get some rubbing compound or a spray...

Watcha gonna do about the holes?

peritus

Oh, those are speed holes.... um...

I'm going to wait until I find another non whale tail decklid and I'll repaint. I think I found one in the $150 range.

I think I was still promised a ride a year or more ago?

peritus

Yes, definitely! Haven't seen you around at the GTGs!

PM me, and on a nice day we'll arrange a ride!

Thanks for the reminder.
