rear wing

I saw a Datsun 240/260 drive by today and the wing it had on it that was gorgeous. It looked similar to this:


I got to thinking that this sort of 'duck-tail' style may look good on first gens. All I ever see are the wrap around type spoilers like these:


Which, if I'm honest, I'm not really a fan of. Any of the first type available for our 7's?

Closest I've seen is the Aeroworks one. Doesn't wrap around like the Porsche 924, but doesn't have as much angle as the 240Z.

The angle is not steep enough and it does not wrap around like the 240z. I think the same style would work on the lines of the first gen.

There are a lot of spoilers in this thread . The "FAZZ" spoiler I had made by a forum member is here as well . Similar to the aeroworks .

I really like it but it wasn't permanently installed on the LE . I am going to put it on my new 79 project car though
