I looked for the pictures of the part number that applies to the complete wing assembly. Unfortunately I cannot find them. The part number for the base is 93051202300. This part appears to be NLA. Possibly the NOS was sold off. You might try contacting Bob at Sunset and see if he can locate the kit which might be the only way to purchase them but I don't know. These parts go in and out of stock all the time.

The tail comes in white plastic and even if you have one with the wiper hole it can easily be plugged and the bump removed by any competent shop.

Here are some pictures of what it looked like.

Has the part number on a Porsche supplier mold ever really matched the part? The actual turbo tail with the 930 part number will clear an intercooler and the regular 911 part will not.

For what it's worth, I have a wing with that exact part number stamped that came with a wiper hole. I had it shaved for my 964. Link to a gallery of photos: https://imgur.com/gallery/yjqby

I have a friend with a real RSA, I have been meaning to stop by his stop and see what P/N is stamped on his wing. I'm really curious.

Very good question? I am not sure whey they would put the wrong part number on it though. Mine is a factory RSA tail and lid. I had to remove the tail from the lid to get the picture of the part number. It was removed from an RSA turned track car and replaced by a 3.8 Biwing tail. Owner tried to buy it back when market started going crazy. My 94 turbo S tail is a factory piece but has no part numbers and there is a lot of weird stuff regarding the early whale tails from the 3.0 l turbos. I sold a factory 964 turbo tail 3 years ago and IIRC the part number was correct but would need to search pics to know for sure. I wish I can find a pic of the box with the part number for the package which includes everything you need to mount the tail. Pictures might be on an older PC will try to locate it but it was the best bang for the buck if you wanted a complete factory look.

Clearly they used the same tooling. just modified it to remove the wiper hole. It is easy enough to remove if needed.
