Help ID this Spoiler?

Have any of you seen this piece?

I am pretty sure this is from a car in central Florida.



I've only seen it a couple of times ever, and I would like to see more pics of it, or if its even available.

Reminds me of a piece I used to see on old Supras.

Thanks.

I'm not one of those guys who bashes people for doing stuff to THEIR car but imho that does not flow/look right at all. I find it hard to believe that is a piece designed for 1st gens. I'm guessing a Supra piece as well.

Hope you find it if you want it.

I was pretty sure it's from a MK2 Supra like in my original post.

Damn, now you confused me.

Could it be from a Starion after all?

Looks like the one on the Supra.

Could it just be an aftermarket piece that fits both cars?








Judging by the leading edge of the spoiler, it does appear to be the Starion one..

Looks closer to the Starion than Supra..
Supra/Celica model looks smaller and closer to the glass...


I think you meant FB world... NOT the FD world...

That was originally mean for oneflytrini,
he had a lovely Gold FD which he sold a few years back.

I am sure he still wishes he had it, or at the very least,
wants another FD.

Me...FB for life, even if I get another RX-7,8,9 -
I am keeping the FB.

Definitely looks like the starion one. Take a close look at the mounting and the
way its finished on the front edge. Looks like the mounts are easy to adapt to a
7 rear window area as well.

Yeah, I think its the starion piece as well. And judging from how the wing sits on the FB, the FB glass is narrower than the SQ glass (see how it bows upwards from the wing being wider than how its mounted?) Heck I 'could' go out and measure my SQ's rear glass at that height to see if its almost as wide or wider than a 1st gens, I do know the SQ glass is very flat vs. the FB's curved state (worked on a widebodied 1st gen prior to owning my SQ, while owning a 2nd gen...need another one of those)
