The ducktail looks amazing but will you be making one to fit the 03-04 boxster models?

I am already working on a smaller version, hopefully will have pictures by early next week.
yellow986s......not sure what you mean by "having the sides blend with it"
As soon as the molds are complete for these two I will be doing the 03 as well.

Joe thanks for the additional pics of the duck in the up position but I will stick with my opinion that for my taste it is too tall. But you can put me down for a shorter version. I think you have done a fantastic job with the shape and overall appearance but that shape and curve blending will be different when it is shorter.
To my taste the taller version would be great for a track car but for a street car looks too " ricer " . No offense to those that like it . If you produce both sizes the free market will choose which version is a better seller. How sturdy is the install ? Would you recommend the end user to use automotive adhesive in addition to the OEM rivets/screws ?
One last thought, not to be a safety nazi but does the tall ducktail impede the vision to the upper brake light when in the raised position ? In this litigous society we live in don't put yourself in a position to be sued because your ducktail blocked a brake light. I am looking forward to seeing pics of the shorter version.

I'd like to see it extended without the original front and rear covers now. Just the pistons. I think I like it.

Unfortunately I can't do that. With this particular design it's made to replace the factory spoiler. Nothing to attach the duck tail to if the cover is gone.

I like the shape and corners, but it's too extreme for me. I'd like something about 1/3 of that height, when the tail is down. Please let me know if you make these for sale. Following...

Now we're talking !!! That looks real nice and is scaled much better. So I'll be the first to say how about a group buy for forum members ? You state a price for 10 people to purchase............save a little more if 15 sign up.......save a little more if 20 sign up you get the idea. Helps the buyers on end cost and helps you meet whatever min buy makes it attractive for you. Are these fiberglass ? Any wood core ? You using OEM fasteners ? Have you had your test mule up to 100 + speed ? Just curious if any ill side affects ? I am REALLY looking forward to getting one of these for my Boxster GT3 wanna be !!!

The only issue I see is that from the back the top curve doesn't follow the bumper line. It needs to have a slight curve to it. It appears almost straight (when the edges are turned up).
See the green line in the attached photo

Amazing work! I stumbled upon some of your previous aero work on other Porsches on Facebook, and they all look stunning. Do you have any plans on fabricating custom side vent pieces for the 986? I'd be very interested in that!

Intake scoops are next on the drawing board.
Thank you for the kind words about my others bits.

I don't even like ducktails but I sure like the small one, and I definitely am.interested in the side scoops. I agree with the green line comment above, if it followed that curve I think it would look even better.
