Good luck to ya! If the scoops come out as well as your other work, count me in for a set of those. :cheers:

The smaller one is very nice, if you can do the more contoured as to follow the green line previously mentioned I think it would be perfect, do you have a price set yet?

As is, or with the "green line" contour.

Hi guys, here are some more pictures of the duck tail. Spent the last two days reshaping and massaging the whole thing. I very happy with the shape now and I hope you will be also.

Let me know your thoughts.

I hope to start the mold this Friday and barring a lot of orders for my other stuff coming in should be ready to start making parts by the middle of next week.

I'd like to introduce this thing with a group buy. Pricing will be on an ascending discount percentage based on the number of people wanting the duck tail.

I like this a lot. Please let me know of the group buy pricing.

Also, does this fit on the existing fin structure, or a new piece?
And, is it able to be removed with no damage to the original?

Thanks!

I like it!

Put me on the list for one.

That is perfect in my opinion

Very interested :-)

+1 Count me in too. =)

Count me in x2

Will you be selling it painted black or raw?

A few more pictures before it comes off the car to make the mold.

Looks perfect! Just need to paint it silver to match my car now!

Hi guys, time to start a GROUP BUY list and leave it open for two weeks.

The mold has been started and should be complete next week.

The list price for the ducktail will be $450.00 and the discounts are as follows based on the number of people signed up.

1-10 10%
11-15 15%
16-29 20%
30 and over 25%

I have looked at shipping costs and will come in around the 20 dollars range. I am in western Canada, Vancouver. Shipping across the continent to Miami worked out a bit over 22 dollars. I do ship overseas and will get rates if needed.

The list will remain open until Friday night July 22nd at which time we'll all find out for how much I am selling the ducktail.
I trust we will not end up with a list of 30 plus people and in the end 5 people actually end up buying the part. I ask you follow through with the purchase if you put your name on the list.

In case your wondering about me and can I do this please look at my Facebook page "Joe Toth Composites" or google my name and you will find lots threads in other forums of work I have done and many satisfied customers.

Lets get a list started and see where it goes.

I'm in. Let me know how to proceed.

I'll start it for you

Couple of questions.

Are these fiberglass, carbon fiber, or?

What is the chance of rub/wear again to body or trunk?

Speed tested?

Painting options? I see yours is black, did you paint it?

Final thoughts: I like the design a lot, but it seems to more than twice what I was expecting. I'm sure it's worth it, but I'll have to wait.

Joe put me down as # 3 .

To answer your questions,
Yes these will be fiberglass. I would like to do CF as well only if I can make the seam lines invisible.
The ducktail lines up like the original spoiler on the car with the same body line clearance. Will not rub.

Speed test....only to 75 MPH freeway driving. With using 3M two sided tape and the original plastic plugs they will not come off. My dive planes and 996 turbo intake scoops have gone 185 MPH on many track/race cars with only tape and no customer has lost one.
They can be painted. Will come out of the mold in shiny black gel coat like you see on mine.

The parts are going to be made in a three piece mold. When they come out of the mold I have seam lines which need to be cleaned up and made invisible. I cannot and will not make or sell these if the only way to make them presentable is to paint (color match) after the fact. These are actually more money than 4 models of my splitters because of the labor required.

Really nicely done, Joe. Looks like oem.

Any effect on cabin wind noise or turbulence? Any effect on fuel mileage?

Joe have you given any thought on payment options ?

Haven't noticed a difference in either, mind you I've only driven a couple of hundred miles with it on.

Feedback welcomed as always

Hi Joe. Not bad. Would like to see a pic of this from the straight back point of view. a couple of thoughts - 1. the intake pieces are different (left/right) so the look of your scoops may be different. 2. I have a cold air intake on my car i.e cone filter and no snorkel. as a rule, I don't drive int he rain but do get caught once in a while. I'm always weary of water getting into the filter. It seems that with scoops the water may accumulate on the bottom and get into the filter. Any ideas? may be some drain holes?
Thanks.

Quick update on the ducktail. First section of the mold is complete, starting to lay up the second part of the mold today.

I'm a little surprised that only five have signed up so far, with all the positive feedback I would have thought we could easily get 15 - 20 sold. Oh well there is still time. Joe thanks for doing these .

Bumping this up from page two........come on guys who else is in ?

I like it a lot but at 450 it is a little out of my budget as I make my own CF and FG parts and a couple of companies I consult for, but the shape is great indeed

Add me to the list. Hopefully more will sign up this next week.

Thumper makes six signed up 5 more and discount moves to 15 % !
