Title: Integrated Wing Stands?
Post by: TopNotch on July 13, 2020, 10:18:50 pm: This is the old wing off my white car. The top side is in very bad condition, which is why I replaced it. Notice that it has integrated wing stands. Have any of you ever seen one like that before?

It is aftermarket. Maybe A&A fiberglass? Did the holes line up?

Pat, do the mounting holes match up with the factory locations in the deck lid?

No, I had to drill new rear holes for factory wing stands, and patch the old ones with Vette Panel Adhesive/filler. The front holes were OK.

Post by: GTRS Fiero on July 14, 2020, 11:48:38 pm: That begs the question: what was the intended application?

Post by: The Art Doctor on July 14, 2020, 11:52:58 pm: Mine is labeled as "Universal Wing" no mention of fiero, but it is obvious what it is. Also back side is smooth, no indentation. I picked it up at godfathers customs closing sale a few weeks ago.

Post by: GTRS Fiero on July 15, 2020, 12:06:13 am: It may be my eyes, but your stands don't appear to be as angled as TopNotch's.
Title: Re: Integrated Wing Stands?
Post by: TopNotch on July 15, 2020, 09:19:42 am: Mine is distorted in the picture from the wide angle shot. TAD's looks thinner (front to back) than a Fiero wing.

Post by: Fierofool on July 15, 2020, 09:37:31 am: Wings similar to the Fiero wing were used on the early 90's full size Thunderbirds. Mustangs also had a similar wing. There was a Dodge, maybe the 200. that had a similar one, except it was curved. The Fiero spoiler design isn't unique to our cars.

Post by: The Art Doctor on July 15, 2020, 10:17:49 am: 6 1/2" wide by 56"outer tip to outer tip. Setting flat on stands measured up to flat of top side is 2 1/2" rise.
