    what good would removing the ducktail do if it still has flares ? It's been modified to RS or RSR look, so leave the tail

    To each his own I guess. This is one where you'll have people lining up on both sides. I think there are cycles in popularity on the duck/no duck preference. Right now I feel the understated no-duck look is more popular. See for example the "11 year signal yellow project" in the latest Esses. Flares, no duck. Beautiful.

    Can't comment on aesthetics, but a duck transforms the car at speed. They did it for a reason.
