Rear wing. Or is it a spoiler.

My Cousin works at a wrecking yard, he called me and said the yard just got an RX. Not wrecked or damaged. Just delivered by a tow company to ease the overcrowding of impounded cars. Anyways I went over and took a look at it, it looks really nice and has a ground FX kit. My 7 already has a body kit but I didn't have a rear wing till I took the one off the Junkyard Rex. Well here's my Question...How do I mount it onto my '85? Whoever mounted it on the Junkyard 7 did a pretty messed up job and basically screwed right thru the fiberglass, and now there's about 10 screw holes in the wing. I don't know if the wing originally had "hidden" screws mounted underneath it or what . All I know is that the wing looks bad *** and I am already having a local bodyshop fill in the holes with fiberglass resin. Oh! and another question is...What type of wing do I have??? I can't post a pic 'cuz my 2 year old son put the camera in the toilet, but I'll describe it as best as I can.
DESCRIPTION: Technically it's not a wing because it doesn't rise above the body of the car, rather its entire lower surface mounts directly to the body of the car. It is a three piece wing that appears to be one piece when installed. Also it is a "wrap-around" type that goes from (almost) the drivers door to (almost) the passengers door. There is one hole for the radio antenna. It extends the rear of the car approximately 7 inches. Its hollow. Its made of fiberglass and has a date written on it as 4/17/1985.

It looks as if the yellow one is bulkier than the red one. They look almost identical, though to me the red one looks like the wing I bought from the wrecking yard.
