Picked this up this weekend at the local yard. It was on the back of a 84 base coupe. Its as wide as a stock fiero, has a lip on the back like the stock spoiler but does not dip down on the ends. Its two pieces molded together and the wing stands are molded it. No makers mark or part number. Its not the look-a-like "JC Whitney" spoiler, and the wing stand spacing is further apart, more close to the Firebird. Because the wing spacing is wider, I don't think it was made for a Fiero, but I can't find any pics of a Firebird with it either. Any one seen it before?

There were so many wings in the 80's in the aftermarket it is hard to tell what one it is. I would say it is just one of the many offered but I do not recall any factory wing like this.
new pics. I've spent a few hours looking over pics of other cars of the 80's-90's that had spoilers. No luck. I cleaned it up and did some measuring, and found out that the spacing for the stands is the exact same as the mid 80's Firebird. So if you put this in place of the Firebird spoiler, it would fit fine. I'm thinking its some kind of 3rd Gen F body wing. When placed next to the stock Fiero and Firebird wing you can see that its more of a "whaletail" design than the others. It has that same "cup" design and the ends don't turn down. Anyway, here are some more pics.
Not sure. I've got a few other "odd" parts, so for now I'm going to hold on to it. But I do agree, it would look cool on a fastback. I have an extra fastback hood, maybe I'll give it a try.
This altered image may not show what I'm suggesting very well, but if the mount could be modified/cut back to allow the wing to sit further rearward and actually stick out past the back of the decklid... I think it might look rather good on a Fiero.
probably could install it with a set of those stealth mounts that someone sells here. You could put them all the way back and then get the 2-3" of offset to add even more. I may look into it.

Yeah, I was thinking of those stealth mounts as well... but as a typical Fiero owner I was trying to figure out a way to move the spoiler rearwards without the added expense.
