Ok, if you own a hatch, and have found some way to mount a wing on it, please for the love of everything holy post a pic of it, and give info on what the hell it is if you want.

I have been looking through some wings out there, and could only find like 1 or 2 that might fit, but don't have the $$ to throw away buying it just to find out that it will not fit.

go to a machine shop and get them to cut a peice of 1/8th inch steel plate that will cover the rear ledge and extend it by three or four inches and then add a touring style spoiler or an aluminum spoiler! Thats what i think would work. Travis

The reason it is very difficult to put a wing on 3rd gen hatches is because they arent meant to go there. 1)difficult to install 2)looks terrible 3)dont put a wing on your hatch waste of time money and overall clean look of your car

does that wing bolt directly onto that little deck on the hatch? Does it actually fit on there? Do you have any pics of it installed on a hatch?

88lxi68, any idea who makes that wing or what it's off of? That really is the kind I'd like to put on mine or a touring wing but so far the only ones that I can find that will fit are the adjustable aluminum wings.

Is that what you wanted the picture for.:lol

HostileJava:

Its not a bolt on. Its meant for a 90-93 teg and I had to have it molded to fit the hatch.

This picture doesn't do it too much justice. It looks a whole lot better in person.

Yes and No. My friend has a black hatch and he was interested in one and then I saw this thread. So I figured I could help two people. :)

Someone mention something about the solar wing from the 5.0 mustang. Has anyone tried??? Doesn't anyone have a website to get a cheap solar wing????

That was me who said it. I did try it and fit like it was meant to be there. Only difference is the top corners of the hatch are square and the mustangs are a little round. It wasn't to noticable though.

I bought it back in 95 and they were like 150 for one.

Sorry no pics:(

I only had it on for a little over a year. I sold it to someone else with a hatch.

You should be able to get them anywhere.( pep boys, autozone, etc) Its the brand GTS. The same brand that makes black-out covers for head and tail lights.
