How to distinguish a genuine Turbo S rear spoiler?
I would like to know how to distinguish a genuine 964 turbo S rear spoiler. Are the all fibre glass? Is it a 1 piece spoiler connected to the rear lid? Or are they 2 separate pieces like on a rear normal turbo spoiler?
thanks.
Norm
thanks.

Not sure which Turbo S model you're speaking about ?! If you're sepaking about the 964 Turbo S Lightweight car, rear spoiler is made of Kevlar. If you're speaking about the 964 Turbo S 3.6 liter car, rear spoiler is made (99% sure, other people to confirm) of fiberglass.
Kevlar / Fiberglass patterns (which can be seen in the inner part of the rear spoiler) are different and rather easy to recognize : Kevlar pattern looks more like a checkered flag whereas finerglass pattern looks more like cloth.

I believe the body part number for the Kevlar rear wing on the Turbo S Lightweight is 964.512.001.07. As far as I can tell it uses the standard engine cover as the Turbo.
Rennlister Cobalt, if I recall correctly, has detailed information on these spoilers.

Thank you guys for your input. I have a dear friend who is taking one off his car. Just curious to know if its a genuine one or not. Not sure if it came off a 3.6 Turbo S.

3.6 Turbo S is fiberglass. One piece with inner plastic grill that is the same part as the standard turbo wing. I have seen them with and without a metal mesh insert.
Under the lip of the back of the wing is the familiar small triangle stamp for parts that were fabricated outside the factory.

I have by the way a new
spare original Turbo S lightweight rear wing that I will weigh just to see how light this part is
