the 88 gtu had a plastic wing, whereas the s5's had a polyurathane wing! also, the posts on the 88 gtu wing were wider (slightly) in diameter! there are different s5 wings also, some had flat tops w/ "mazda" molded to the bottom of it, and some were more curved, w/ out the embossed logo!

note... i only say the 88 gtu because im not certain that the 88 t2 had that wing or the poly wing..... but im 100% certain 88 gtu's had a plastic wing...

also, no s4 gxls came with a wrap around wing, only 88 gtu's and 88 turbos.... all s5's had that wing stock...

Are you sure? Me and 2 other people I have spoken to had s4 gxl's with the wrap around wing. Sure it can be added but what are the odds. ill check the faq.

Yeah, Madrx7racer is right. I've had an S4 TII and S5 TII spoiler both at one point and there is definitely a slight difference.

I have a GXL that doesn't have a wing. From what I understand the wings were an option for the GXL's. I think that it is in the F.A.Q. for the 2nd Gen Section.
