Why does it say:928 S4 Wing.
Fits 1978 thru 1989, 928.

What changed on the rear end from 1990?

I think it should fit all 87+ cars.

If you have an S4 with holes already there I would not suggest this. Its not a "bolt on" solution. There is some customization that I found I needed to do, so much that I will not use it on my S4, but rather on my 78 where there are no holes as of yet.

That's pretty sad, how difficult can it be once they build the whole piece to locate the bolts in the right place...?
What's the alternative then?

I think there is some shrinkage and twisting of the fiberglass.

I specifically left the unpainted wing out in the sun and heat and rain of Southern California for, oh, about 6 months. That was to make sure it was stable before painting, and during painting. Only then did the color and clear go on.

Vertex has one for the same $189.... even the same pic in their ad as the one on Better Bodies' site..... So these are the wings only? Is the hardware pretty standard? Should I ever get to the point of painting my Shark, I know removing the old S spoiler requires body work, but could I then have the S4 wing installed instead? Or are there any specific problems or issues? or is that taboo to even consider such a change?
