Would Sport Classic ducktail fit RS?

Would imagine so. Ducktail has air openings on both sides, so it should "flow" to the dual openings on the RS airbox. Though the GT3 has dual "scoops" but one just flows to a fan. Not sure what the SC lid looks like from below.



RS airbox:

It kind of has a pseudo ducktail to begin with (gt3 RS). Just take the wing off

Yeah that's where the idea originally came from. Just looks a bit unfinished like that on the sides. Would be cool if it came designed to sport it either way... Park bench off for the street, slap it on for track days on the weekend.

A few guys have removed their wing, filled the wholes and repainted. I like the look. Champion motorsport has a nice example.

Good idea, but I wouldn't repain and fill holes unless you were not planning on tracking it because I would want the wing for downforce. Maybe get painted screws?

Just filling the holes will not work. It still looks obviously unfinished with the flat edges, as opposed to the nice smooth work on the SC spoiler. I would guess that the airbox ducting is a bit different, but it could probably work with minor modification.

If you just strip the upper wing element on the RS, it will still look half-ass, because the decklid frames the wing uprights on the sides. You end up with a shallow indentation from where the uprights used to be. You can just barely see it in the photo Wyatt posted above.

I don't even think the SC has ducting to pull the air from the vents to the airbox. Look at this photo, you can clearly see the aluminum parts of the a/c lines and oil filter canister behind the mesh.

Good spot. It would be nice if there was a quality option for owners.

Interesting. Then if there is no ducting below the ducktail lid, I wonder what implications that means. There is certainly air going into the engine bay without ducting. Just wonder if the airbox openings are close to being lined up with those vents. Fan placement is the only issue I can think of as being a problem.

Haven't seen the Champion car and don't see it on their site.
