Is it the same and will the wing holes be correct? I tried a search but didn't get a definite answer. Thanks for the help.

In addition for future searches...

An 84 deck lid will work with any 85-88 Duke powered notchback, but will have an interference issue with a V6 powered notchback due to the center vent design.


85-88 notchback deck lids will work on any year notchback, 84 included. You should probably not use solid 84 vent covers with the non-84 decklid.

Notchback and fastback deck lids will not interchange... unless you do something like this:

Yeah, the difference of fastback vs notchback causes the Formula (notchback) not to fit on the 87 GT (fastback).

Isn't it just a matter of relocating one of the wing stand studs to the other hole?

Only when you get a wing with two sets of mounting holes in the wing stands. The wing I replaced my GT wing, came from a coupe and no second set of mount holes.

Maybe it came from before there were fastback style GTs (85 or older?)
