Identify this spoiler?

Post by mike-tracy »

This was on a 90-91 LSI in the junkyard. Looks pretty close to the SS spoiler, but there are a few differences. For instance, brakelight and the fact that it bolts to the trunk on in the center under the brake light as well, yet it is a factory part. Anyone?

Im pretty sure that is a mitsubishi 3000gt spoiler as i used to have one of those cars,the forward drop down on ends is a giveaway.I could be wrong though maybe an eclipse?

Should have taken pics of it on the car - I'm nearly certain it's a Subaru spoiler. Factory wiring through the trunklid, etc.

I think that's OEM as well. I've seen N/As with spoilers and that might be one of them. IIRC, my sister's '93 had one. Wow, I can't believe I'm not sure of that. Getting old. Maybe it was an option through Subaru accessories at the dealers or something.

I too have seen a few non SS's with what appeared to be "factory" spoilers.

I have a few spare spoilers if you need one.

No you can't have one

I've seen several as well, didn't look close enough to see if the brake light was the same though. There's a few around here, If I see one today I'll report back :lol:

BTW it's not a 3kgt spoiler, similar, but it's closer to the stock SS.

Put it back on for a photo - I ended up buying the spoiler & trunk. Not sure what I'll do with it yet, maybe someone with an N/A 90-91 would be interested?

The whole car is trashed, but somehow the trunk + spoiler managed to survive intact, no peeling/chipping paint like SS spoilers I've seen.

Nah, I just like junkyards, haha, and was hoping for something close to home. I suppose it's closer than Spokane is to me right now, maybe I'll head up there and check it out when I get back.

I parked next to an older ford mustang in my impreza one day and noticed that the OEM three leg spoiler was the same as that on the mustang. So it is possible that the base 3000gt used the same as the legacy.

It looks like there isn't a 3rd brakelight in the rear window, unless it is covered up. So, quite possibly a factory option?

Could it be one of these? It's from a 1996 Ford Escort GT.
