Froggo you can't just post and run  . What are the specifics on your spoiler ? Homemade or purchased over the counter ? Not sure I like the visible screw heads but that could be overcome. Other than that I like it. Details man details !!!

Yes , I made it in the home workshop . It's fiberglass over a MDF wood base . The fixings are polished SS screws into captive nuts in the top bar of the original spoiler which still goes up and down . I don't think it has any aerodynamic qualities at the speeds I travel at but it makes the tail a bit more interesting .

Hi guys, I came across this thread when posting my the thread of the aero kit I'm in the process of doing for my car. One of the pieces happens to be a duck tail and I would like to get some feedback as to what I am working on. It seems I really like McDonald's as I tend to "supersize " everything. The pictures are of my pattern for the mold. Please ignore the finish as there is still work to be done there but it's the size and shape I would like to get the input. I wasn't going to go crazy and put a mold ready finish on this thing if I was going to go back and cut and reshape.
Thank you in advance for the input,
Joe

I posted on your thread also but I think what you have is too tall/big . Cut it in half in height and post new pics. If your price is reasonable you will have more work than you can handle. What mounting method are you thinking of using ?

The mounting is/will be as per the factory piece which is removed and this installed in its place.

Why not mount something below the existing spoiler? I feel like it would look just as good if not better, plus there's more space to work with. Sorry if this was discussed already, didn't read through all 7 pages....

Does it still raise and lower like the factory one? Looks good will you be selling just the ducktail? If so Price?

Hard to believe it's been 3 years since this post ! I get compliments everywhere I go about the Joe Toth ducktail . Mine is as rock solid as the day I installed it 3 years ago . So happy to have this on my car

To each their own, but it looks a bit out of place to me.
Glad you like it, though! That's all that matters.
