Its not a 968 wing. It is a 944 turbo or 951 wing!!!
+1
feels funny when you guys write about 968 wing. It's a late model (1991) 944 S2 or (1990-91) 951 wing which was adopted to 968.
When factory installed these wings they were not painted. All body colours had a wing with black unpainted finish. Check out this red 1990 951 for sale in Germany



Another 1990 951 for sale in Germany



Here's my friends ex 1991 951 with this factory installed wing. His wing was painted at the same time with the rest of this 951.




Current owner having some fun



Here's my friends 1988 951 S with this 951/S2 wing




Another friends '86 951 with S2/951 wing

You have to understand that here in the US the number of 951/S2 cars that came from the factory with this wing was extremely low. We didn't even have 951's after 1989. So to most of us, the bridge spoiler is a 968 piece as that is the car that it was seen on first.

Sorta like the 944Lux in GB. How things are known or called is dependant upon your location.

^ yup, and I call mine a 968 spoiler as I pulled it off a 92 968 - and it has a 3rd brakelight. The S2 cars in the US did not.

First put on the new 1990 Turbo. Sorry the US did not get any. 47 made, 40 for Canada. I have car 43.

I have the parts list and install list for parts. Did your kit come with the rubber seals? I do not see them on the ebay site.

Doug

1990 944 Turbo 42,000 miles Guards & Black
1986 944 Turbo 49,000 miles, modified Parade winner 1989 50th Anniversary. Alpine and white leather/burgandy.

If you look on the fist page i said its not a "real" 968 wing.
Plus i dont really care if its real or fake, the price was real at 300 instead of a 1000 for a factory hatch/wing used and that needed painted.
As long as it looks good and looks like the wing on the 968, im happy. And right now, im really happy.
Next mod is some strosek side skirts.
