Really? Never seen that wing before.

Whats up with the stones behind the tires? E-Brake broken?

That thing looks universal...

I've got one that looks similar to it, but it had a higher angle of attack - it doesn't have that up-curve on the front edge, and it sits lower and farther back than that one.

I picked mines up on eBay, and Wheelchoice advertised it as being "R.E. Amemiya".
It was full fiberglass.

Could have been funny if the opposite of downforce wasn't lift...

And I've never seen that wing before either so I'm guessing it's aftermarket.

Deffinitley not stock. Looks universal to me as well. Looks like they used a bit of force to install it, looks like the metal around the mounting areas on the back are somewhat dented in.

Try asking on the South forum. There's a few of us around SA and I'm pretty sure 87rx7chick has one or knows where to find one.

Go to ANY Sears.
2-1/8" socket for $28
Unless you got 3/4" drive tools, get the 3/4" to 1/2" adapter for another $8.

You can PayPal me the $35 difference for this tip now...

I just bought it cause it was...different.
It's painted white, and my car is 5A blue.
It's going to look stupid if I just slap it on. :P
