Difference Of The Stock Wings?

I was wondering, what's the difference between the s4 o the s5, the gtu, gtus, or TII, and any other model fc with a stock wing. I am looking for one that i can paint to match the rest of the car, not the plastic ones like the ones ive seen, that are always black no matter what. Which model wing is that?

I think the black wings are 87 and maybe 88's....The 89-91 wings are all painted and look like my photos. Even tough mine is an Erebuni GTU replacement....But you get the point

all wings that looks like bkapold are same, i have a 91 wing on my 87, and i think only 10th anniv wings has the word MAZDA embossed on top, because i have a 91 wing and its embossed on the bottom, or prolly they shaved it?

the black only wing is the "lip spoiler" found on the 87 sport and optional on the 86-88 models. It is plastic though and tends to decay over time.

It can still be bought through mazda or buy a salvaged /used one.

The other wings you've seen are:

89-91 Turbo II/GTU-S style
87-88 Turbo II style (similar to the the 89-91 style, but the mazda logo is on top)
88-91 Convertible "Wing"
Mazdaspeed "beefy" wing
Mazdaspeed "spoiler extension" for the 88-91 TII style wing

The black plastic spoiler only came with the 86-87 Sport aero kit. The other 86-87 models were not available with spoilers, and the 88 models had the new spoiler type which is found on the coupes of all later models.

I'm not positive, but I believe that the black plastic spoiler was sold as an aftermarket item by Mazda Finish Line prior to 1988. However, I do have the 1988 Mazda Finish Line catalog in my hand right now, and the black spoiler is not listed. FYI, here are the aftermarket products that are listed for the RX-7:

Rear Aerodynamic Spoiler "Wing-type spoiler features an extruded aluminum air foil. A lip style spoiler is also available. (See Cargo Cover.) Both spoilers are satin black and can be painted to match your RX-7." Evil Aviator notes: The Aerowing spoiler looks like the convertible spoiler. The picture of the lip spoiler was also the picture for the cargo cover, hence the reference.

Lip Style Rear Spoiler "The lip style rear spoiler, standard on the GTU and Turbo, can be installed easily on other models."

Fog Lights (108 deg arc beam)

BBS Forged Alloy Wheels (Looks like the wheels which came standard on the Convertible)

Cruise Control (Exactly like the stock hardware)

Center Armrest "Color coordinated to your RX-7's interoir and the same height as the door armrest, the center armrest lifts for access to its hidden storage area."

Air Conditioning (Exactly like the stock hardware)

Graphic Equalizer (Exactly like the stock hardware)

Transparent Moon Roof "Treat yourself to the light and magic of a transparent moon-roof. Shown here with optional wind deflector, the solar tint blocks 93 percent of the sun's ultraviolet rays. Available in S.A.R. acrylic or tempered glass. Replaces steel sunroof panel."

Splash Guards (Similar to the Sport aero pieces, front and rear)

Plush Floor Mats

Wheel Locks

Workshop Manuals

Mazda Custom Car Covers

Batteries

Touchup Paint

Custom Logo Tags (Front license plate with "RX-7" on it)

Engine Block Heaters

Door Edge Guards - Chrome or Black

Ski Rack (Mounts over rear window)

Sport Rack (Mounts over roof, for bikes, surfboards, etc.)

Front Mask

Rear Window Louver

Wind Deflector (For sunroof)

HEY, THAT's THE ONE!!!

I forgot about the "eclipse style" flat black spoiler (see pic below). I bet that's the one he was asking about.

So we have the:

89-91 TII/GTU-S Style
87-88 TII Style
87-88 Sport "lip spoiler"
86-88 "eclipse style" flat spoiler"
88-91 convertible "wing"

Hey Icemark, can you send me some 800x1200 full sized pics of that catalog ... to atlantarotaryfan@earthlink.net ??

I'd be happy to post the 1991 catalog in exchange.

It's the Series V Kaminari bumper, which nobody seems to make, sell, or provide copies of I wish corksport would offer it, and I've asked already as well.

It would probably fit, but the S4 version www.corksport.com sells would definitly fit better.

OK, it's in the Brochures folder. Please let me know if there are any problems downloading it, as Yahoo changes their policies so often that I don't know what works well anymore.
