Default which duckbill angles more?

hey i was wondering if you guys knew where to get the non carbon fibered duckbill that tilts higher than a carbon fiber one... it seems like all the carbon fiber ones dont tilt high other than the backdoor special one...

Backyard special.

And the authentic Spoon EK duckbill is pretty tame:



Authentic EG6



The knockoffs are the ones that "pop" a little more.

look closer....


the orange hatch is an EK....... EK duckbills are more "tame", real or fake, compared to eg duckbills... the EK duckbill is flush with the ROOF of the car


the higher angle duckbill spoon is on the EG's,,, real or fake, EG spoon wings are more aggressive... notice how the EG duckbill connects INTO the ROOF of the car

(and holy snapps that backyard special is way too high, i don't like)

you're right... it seems that the REAL EG spoon wing is more "tame" than the replica.


But in the REPLICA picture you posted at the top, the larger picture of the wing doesn't look as aggressive as the Replica wing on the Yellow EG. Be careful what you buy on Ebay. U might not get the one you want.

if you want a Carbon FIber one that has a nice high tilt, look for a Seibon or maybe VIS...they have good Spoon Replicas...is NOT a almost 90 degree tilt like that BYS one that looks UGLy..that sht's ugly

if you pick up a carbon fiber off Ebay or something, it'll prob look like this one



but if you want a nicer, higher tilt like the original Spoon one, get a Seibon or VIS...if you find an EBAY one with that same picture of the Yellow EG, i WILL NOT look like it, it have a straighter look like the green hatch i posted...go with SEIBON or VIS..i prefer Seibon though..

to the OP

i never seem to see anyone get disapointed with Seibon but Kaiba wasnt happy about his...i would still go with a Seibon one but you have VIS as another good choice..

no ****, everyone jumps on the bys bandwagon whenever they come out with something new. i remember when that "thing" first came out, everyone was all over it and now finally people are starting to realize "Good god that thing is atrocious!"
