Looks good in “not red” pics. How is it attached?

Attached with 2 1.5" #10 pan head screws at the outer edges . 2 2" #10 screws through a small piece of stainless brake line 19mm long. You need to drill 4 holes through the hatch under the lower trim. Then 4 coresponding holes in the trim. You also need to trim the edges of the spoiler to fit the contour of the rear hatch. The mounting spot's are very close to the original for the factory spot's. We tested the strength of the mount's by having my assistant Ruben attempt to pull the spoiler off of the car after eating 2 beef fajita taco's and chugging a Redbull. He was not successful. Even with local wind's of 40 mph! He was able to pull a stock spoiler off with just 2 taco's.I dont think it will blow off. If your careful you can make this fit without having to repaint your RED SPOILER !!

Frankle951,Is the car with the hang glider on the back your's ? I like the dual wing's. It must be really fast!
I'm working on a totally awesome triple wing design for Tony and his " Just Peachy" car.
I figure the more power you have, the more wing's you need!

The Delta Wing, ground efects, splitter, and upper Sugar Scoop spoiler on my Pantera were wind tunnel tested, and mounting points were configured before installation.

If you are serious about how these components really work, you need to be very carefull how and where they're mounted. This is science, not cosmetics.

Don't the Amish paint their front door bright red when they've got a daughter they'd like married up?

I prefer unadorned 928s, so I think it looks pretty cool, and better than the factory spoilers.

I think he will be sick of it in a month and take it off. Agree with above All 928s look great without a spoiler it distracts your eye or something to the nice rear end.

Todd Yohn sung about this back in the 90's before the FCC starting censoring everything following Ms Jackson's wardrobe 'malfunction'
