A couple more pictures of the ducktail. I had an epiphany today working out the mounting for this piece. Added a front which will cover the extruded aluminum bracket the spoiler attaches to. I have not been impressed by the look of that with the spoiler up. This looks more finished and all part of the spoiler. As an FYI this version is going to be much simpler to make than the gen 1 version. The bottom of the spoiler is much wider and I am able yo lay the part up in one solid part. Still have to attach a bottom mounting surface as I'm doing with the gen 1. My point, with the easier production process the selling price will be adjusted accordingly. It will end up being considerably less expensive than the gen 1 version.

I'm liking what I'm seeing (and hearing).

I think that looks great. I have a 98 that it would look great on!

Any updates on the Gen 2 Ducktail? I hope there is enough interest in this for you.

The splitter and ducktail (rear spoiler) for the gen 2 cars are complete. I delivered the first set this morning on the car in the pictures. This piece is much easier to make (and looks good with the finished front) than the original for the gen 1 cars. I'm right now in the process of trying to fit this to my car. I hope it will fit, I want this on my car and apologize to the folks who bought the original for me not being smart enough to do the front on that piece.

Pricing on the ducktail I think is very reasonable and I'm offering a further discount for purchasing the set.

Please contact me for pricing and availability tei@telus.net , by phone 604-329-9391 or Facebook "Joe Toth Composites"







P.S. I have lots more pictures if anyone needs.
