Lightbulb Custom Spoilers on a 928...

Hey all, <img src="graemlins/xyxwave.gif" border="0" alt="[bigbye]" />
I have been looking around the net and came across the idea of a different spoiler for the shark to make it stand out from the rest!

I wondered if anyone has ever fitted a custom spoiler on their 928 and if they have pictures/comments/tips on which one to go for...

There are many universal spoilers out there but im not sure which ones will suite a 928...

Can somone point me in the right direction??

Thankss,

Does anyone have anything different for the front spoiler? I guess it would be the whole front bumper.
regards,
Sab.

Steve never seen a spoiler like that before...

The strosek rear wing looks smaller...

Do you have any more pictures from different angles? <img src="graemlins/bigok.gif" border="0" alt="[thumbsup]" />

And about the front spoiler you should be able to put a universal front spoiler on it with some work...

Many companies have different noses for the 928 to change the front spoiler. Rear, well...you must decide. Try these sources for ideas and prices:

Please take no offense but,

the 928 specialist wing looks like it came off of a honda (ricey) and I personally don't like the Strosek. Perhaps if you could keep the stock rubber wing in place it would look more factory. IMO street Porsche's, especially the 928, should be a little understated.

Steve C. ,
Thanks for posting the additional pictures of your "Strosek style" rear wing. This is easily one of the nicest of the "aftermarket" wings I've seen.
Questions: Is this wing "higher" than the factory S4 wing ?

What is the height measurement from the hatch to the top of the wing (as measured at REAR of wing) ?

What is the width measurement of this wing from left outside edge to right outside edge ?

Any further info would be appreciated !
Thanks !

So JAY,
You out there? I believe it was you or one of the folks at SITO iteration 1 who had either the year with the factory adjustable wing -better for cleaning things- or knowledge of it. What year was it? Was it Brett's or the Wild Folk from Wichita?
Steve C.,
The White One is looking good as always, tail looks strong, but not overly beefy. P.S. Thanks again for the wiring guidance...still not fixed though...working...brake and light switch next!
