I dunno - I've seen this type before but can't place it. Indy Car/Formula one. I have mixed feelings about it's appearance/performance, what I like it about it is that it is rather in-exspensive. Let's see how much she goes for.

You must have not recognized it, but that wing is for the "type R" 928...

Gee, I wonder why Porsche didn't think of that? <img src="graemlins/c.gif" border="0" alt="[ouch]" />

Hey doods, check it out. Same wing for far less money and if you ask me, more realistically priced.

Hey Everyone - Take a look at the "Sellers Other Items" - This must be one of those "divorce deals" where the Mrs. is cleaning out the husbands toys or vice versa. It's all going for cheap!

I couldn't resist - I placed a bid for 17.95 - So far so good. Remember - One Mans ceiling is another mans floor - Paul Simon.

Sorry Drewster, Looks like the minimum bid just went to $279.00. A steal at $17.95 but something much less at $279.00. They must have suddenly remembered "Porsche 928" and jacked the price up 300+%.

No worries - The 17.95 price was pulled and my bid canceled by Ebay.

After looking at it again, WHAT WAS I THINKING?.
This thing belongs on Schwinn Stingray or a Red Flyer?. <img src="graemlins/r.gif" border="0" alt="[king]" />

I think this might be a 928 Specialist's wing.

<a href="http://www.928gt.com/cf-wing.htm" target="_blank">928 Specialists Wing</a>

If so, it is a good deal.
It normally goes for $1,100.

Good for a race car, but I think it messes up the rounded lines of the 928. It might look good on Phat928, or any 928 with an angular body kit. But straight lines and curves do not go good together. <img src="graemlins/nono.gif" border="0" alt="[nono]" />

Seems like every little 4-door has a huge wing on it lately. I just gotta laugh at the Neons with the the 55 gallon drum exhaust tips, huge wings, cheap body graphics, 12 in. diameter tachs and fire extinguishers attached to the dash or A-pillars. I know I'm not the only one to attract these at every stoplight. I wave politely and don't waste gas on the greenlight, then LMAO.
