i think technically you would call that a 'tail base' - a ducktail that you can mount a spoiler on - i assume that you can remove the spoiler if need be? it's cool that it can be made to fit the 986. i wonder if it could be slid lower down the trunk so as to cover the OEM spoiler (which is now redundant with this unit installed, but would leave a gap if removed).

the tail base will overlay to the taillight if move lower. It will work with 987. I have disconnected the OEM spoiler.

Does anyone make a duck tail for the 986 that is similar to a 73 911 rs duck? It looks like whoosh has it in his car but without the top piece. That's a beautiful car.

Thanks,
David

the Ingo Noak spoiler on the 986, did you just buy the 987 spoiler and it fit properly? I know there are some minor differences in the 986 and 987 spoilers from factory that's why I ask.
Cheers
Saw your post about the minor mods needed.
