What's up with this wing? (Page 1/1)

Saw This wing on eBay, looks very much like the original wing, except it doesn't have the grooves on the bottom and the wing stands are integrated. What car is this from?



Also, my Fieros wing is a little droopy, but I don't remember there being such a sharp defined lip on the back end like this?

Now that I'm looking, all I can find are the grooveless, integrated wing stands wings. This

The one piece wings are JC Whitney aftermarket.

All the OEM wings were three piece. The only difference was in the wing stand trunk mounting provisions after the 86 GT was introduced. Early wing stands have two holes, later wing stands have three holes.

Oh ok, got it, interesting there was an aftermarket wing available, and that there are so "many" available on eBay

They were quite popular at one time. They were way cheaper than the factory one from the GM parts department, and lots of people wanted them.
I've only seen a small number of them "in the wild", however.

My first Fiero (85 GT) had one when I got it off the used car lot.
I thought it was stock until I saw an OEM wing and did some investigating.

Same here. I thought it was weird having a wing once I discovered a list of RPO codes and realized mine had no "D80" code. At some point I realized mine was aftermarket once I noticed all the factory ones were a little different.

My wing was in bad shape and I got rid of it. I don't miss it.
