Thanks for the update, Joe. I am definitely interested in having on my car for next year's autocross season.

I keep thinking about that larger duck tail every once in a while. Keep us updated.

Joe - Received mine on Saturday, looks great. Will be having it painted to match this winter, but I'm sure it will look like the factory put it there (which they should have).

Thanks! Jim

It's been a while but finally managed to get a couple of new pieces done for the car. Headlight covers for the track and flaps for the front wheel well. Apparently these things are supposed to assist in getting air out from under the car and wheel wells.

Really like the front wheel well flaps, do you know if those would fit for the 2003+ facelift cars? And do they come only in carbon fiber?

I can make them in black FRP. They will fit '03. I can also make them a bit longer so they can fit most cars. Only need to trim off the extra length. Selling the CF ones for a hundred.

Yes, I was hoping to have the scoop completed this weekend. A number of orders came in the last few days which puts my development time on the back durner again. Got to get the customer parts out first.

Joe as I was looking at those flaps it made me think to ask have you ever made front strakes ( I think that's what they are called ) ? Race cars have them on the front for more downforce . Just thinking maybe another item to design/make . They generally start at the lower front and transition/rise around the side . Sorry for the poor description . Still loving the ducktail !

Looks like I'm late to the party, but any chance on having any small ducktails left hanging around??

rfuers911sc.....I think what you are referring to what I call dive planes or canard wings. Yes I make them for six different models now both in black gel coat/ FRP and carbon fiber.

Justin 327......I'm still making Ducktails. Let me know if you'd like one.

Joe yes your description sounds correct . Do you have pics of the dive planes posted somewhere ? I assume you have ones that will fit the Boxster ? How are they installed or what holds them on ?

Dive planes are 175 black gel coat/FRP, 300 in carbon fiber. Most guys use 3M double sided tape. Some dedicated track cars use fasteners to hold them on.

Hi Joe, I'm interested in your small ducktail for my '97. Do you have any or will be making any more? Thanks!
