This peticular one is the mild one sold by showcars-bodyparts from canada. They make a more 'race' style of the spoiler too, which would be much taller. I don't know if they still offer both spoilers or not. The tall one was priced at $550 when I purchased this one.
This picture from the bodyshop is still the only decent pic I have of it...

RSM of Canada use to sell the taller one as well. The way to tell the difference between the shorter and the taller one is the lip over the trunk lock. The shorter ones the lip only goes 1/2 way down with a notch for the keyhole (as seen in my pics) the taller spoiler sits more rearward and the bottom lip meets the bottom edge of the decklid with a hole for the key. Width wise that are the same, It's the height that is different.

didn't know that. i guess i have a tall version on my car.
pat/fibersmith said he is working on an imsa type wing, but he hasn't shown it yet. if anyone can get him to show what it looks like i'd appreciate it. looking for another wing myself.

yeah, hold off on the buying of $400 wings. I bought an original IMSA wing last fall, and I body worked it all out and drove it down to pat. he is in the process of replicating it as we speak, and the first one should be finished by this weekend. Everyone knows about his awesome quality, I dont expect any less out of this project. Ill have pix of my IMSA wing on X pretty soon.

The three piece you show there (FieroMonkey) looks like the race wing with the small tips and not all self contained to the trunk lid. If you want the original IMSA racecar look, FieroMonkeys car is the one to copy. Here is the race wing. I can take measurements if someone is interested.
With this wing, I can't see JACK out the rear view mirror. Does anyone have this problem with the street IMSA wing?

The Street IMSA spoiler blocks about 1/2 your rear view. Sort of like driving some of the newer cars with high trunks. On my lowered Fiero it is nice because it blocks the headlights of cars behind you in traffic so they aren't beaming into your rearview mirror.

it dose block the view pretty good. another reason why it would be great if someone combined a saleen wing with an imsa wing. then you could look over or under it.
I have one the one IRM used to sell, I've had it for about 10 years now sitting in my garage. I put it on my chopped notchback for the heck of it for one summer, it was like looking out a mailslit so I removed it. It's still the original gelblack, not sure what I'll do with it but if I ever sell it I'll post it to the forum first.

Mine is like a mailslit too. I am considering side mirrors for safety. I have to look up and down to figure out what I am looking at.
Here is the view I see......
This is what is behind me......
FieroMonkey.... If I never said it before, let me say it now.... Your IMSA is remarkably cool. It is definately one of my favorites and I am really impressed with the SD4 install you are planning. You found a wonderful (I dare say historic) Fiero. Maybe I'll get to see it some day.
