I love the rear ducktail. However, I would appreciate it if you could make a second mold that is about half the size of the current ducktail in height and have the sides blend with it.

Should look perfect and then you can count me in to buy one.

Could you also do it in carbon fiber or carbon fiber overlay?

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.
