Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

18 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hello All, I've been playing around with a bit of crude photoshopping to see how my car would look 70's style with decals and ducktail. I rather like it ?? What do you think???

POST 2Original post

Must say I think the ducktail looks good on the 996 for me the graphics would have to be a more subtle shade rather than black, but do like it??

POST 4Original post

POST 5Original post

I do like the Duck Tail, but think that having the "Graphite" coloured Carrera decal rather than black would soften the look.....

POST 7 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks for all the replies. The graphite version of the decal does look rather nice! Zeusy, do you know where Johnny Tipler got his spoiler from?

POST 8Original post

Hi M8. I read about JT getting his duck tail fitted in one of the Porsche mags but I get ..... but I cant remember which one or when it was that I saw it ..... sometime last year I think. I will have a scan through the pile in my garage and let you know. Little Bear thinks the graphite decal looks just right. [ ] Zeusy.

POST 9Original post

I have just picked up my February issue of 911 & Porsche magazine and on page 118 there is a an article from JT featuring his motor and included along with this there is a side on photo of the car with the Ruf ducktail and engine lid fitted. [ ] Regards. Zeusy.

POST 10Original post

design 911 does 2 versions - one with a third brake light and one without www.design911.com

POST 11Original post

Hello I personelly prefer it as standard, as it looks nice and original. Regarss Phil

POST 12Original post

I agree. I had a 996 that I added an aero kit to and after a few weeks wished I hadn't done it. Then again....

POST 14Original post

I really like the sidewinder decals, not keen on the ducktail. Easy to remove the decals if you get bored. Anyone know what wheels Phil has? I have the same on my 996 but never seen them on another.
