Default new 928 wing courtesy of Scion...

Saw this at the Detroit show in the basement, where it belonged but wondered how long it would be before someone did this to our beloved sharks.

Funny you say that because when the first new 7-series came out I loved the antennae on the roof that looked like a fin. Thought of trying to adapt it but didn't. now I am glad I didn't.

That orange looks awesome in the second pic! It reminds me of Lamborghini's orange.

If the car were to wind up sliding down the road upside down that would then become a diffuser! It would then handle very well.

I am sure the guy that actually had "gills" put into the sides of his 928 would love this actually.

Ron,
There are a couple of 928s with the shark fin antenna and they look very cool

Obviously, they are designed to provide straight line stability at the insane speeds that the Scion is capable of attaining.
