Thats the IMSA 3 piece rear spoiler, was sold as a dealer option in 84/85. Pretty hard to find, but I think most of us will agree it goes really well with the car. I have one on my T2 83 and love it.

does anyone make a good substitute for it? I've seen a few that the sides don't go far enough forward.

Like those guys said there are some similiar ones, most (if not all) are a 1 piece unit, which honestly is a lot easier, took quite a while to get my IMSA to look the way I wanted it to. They pop up on ebay every so often and on here, keep looking and you'll find one I'm sure. Expect to pay $125+ for a good one, maybe even more, its been a while since I've been in the market for one...

Agreed, I think they need at least something in the way of a spoiler to look right...

I Always was partial to that GTU style wing. It looked rather clean and well done. But I have to admit that this isn't exactly hard on the eyes either.
