80-86 rear "S" Spoiler with wiper delete ?
Anyone have a 80-86 "S" rear spoiler with the rear wiper delete option they would like to part with ? TIA. 77Tony

I would say that would be a very very rare option.

I had an 80 that had the rear wiper delete. It was nice to have such a clean uncut hatch. I doubt Porsche would have made a special spoiler for the very few S cars that were ordered without a rear wiper. If it exists it would be an extremely rare piece.

Or make a foam insert to retro the car into this option... I'd buy it.

Been reworking a rear spoiler for the Just Peachy project, deleting both side wings, and the long legs that go up the rear hatch. The fabrication might be a little easier if we could find a rear spoiler without the wiper indentation (if they even exist). Also looking to design a simple, smallish spoiler for the front of this 80. Maybe something along the lines of the old Superbird front spoiler. 77Tony

OR
I have this spoiler you could use instead. Willing to sell, or trade.

All of my cabinet shop tools are in storage in Cali, otherwise I could knock one out pretty quickly.

I think an insert made of similar material as the spoiler (pour-in urethane foam?), with the same edge radiuses, would look great. Add a few coats of Girot's Black Bumper Conditioner, then tacked in place with a couple of dabs of glue, would be the answer.

I am not sure about deleting the side "S" spoilers...that will be interesting to see... Well, interesting to see with a little lip style spoiler just on the back...
Hey Jim D. aren't there some pics of some prototype 928's with a small "lip" style spoiler just on the hatch and nothing on the sides???? I KNOW I have seen this before!
Tony, I understand (and understood) what you were saying... Just wondering what it would look like...
I found the answer... Pages 137, 138 and 142 in Project 928 show a Pre-production or Prototype with just the same kind of thing you are looking to do... Check it out!

Projekt 928 shows green and silver prototypes with a center only spoiler. There's also wind tunnel pics with a much larger flat panel.
Here is a pic from a dealer brochure from '79 or '80 showing the first 'S' body. It has a spoiler that looks to be taller than the production versions - could just be the angle. It has a wiper. (Note also the early 931 rims, with a bad front offset. Proper 928 rims must not have been ready, yet.)
I'd like to have hollow fiberglass copies of the S spoiler...so I could put linear actuators in the side sections to raise a wing section at speed or when braking.
