I don't have the exact dimensions handy, but yes, all original equipment Fiero wings are identical in every way except color, regardless of year, engine or body style.

Don't have the dimensions handy, but all of the factory wings are the same.

edit: LZeitgeist types faster than I do

My '88 GT's wing is just over 59" wide, and 14" front to back. (including the curve) I don't know if any were different.

I believe the one in that auction, while probably the same size as an original wing, is an aftermarket 'recast' of an original wing.

On an original wing, the wing stands are screwed in place underneath the wing - on that one, it appears as though they are molded into the wing, and if so, it's a recast. It's sort of hard to tell in that pic, though.

It might be a good casting that won't sag over time, but if it were me, I'd stick to only original wings.

It looks like an original spoiler. I can see the seams around the stands.

I'm at home now, with a better monitor, and yes, I can see vague hints of what might be the seams around the stands, so yeah, that would mean it's most likely an original.

Just being cautious.

That wing in the auction is a factory one, like stated above it has seperate wing stands, AND those wingstands are hollow to the bottom as only the factory ones are.

This is what a Firebird wing looks like on a Fiero. If you like it, I will be going to a car show tomorrow night with Diane and I will ask her for more info on the wing.

Edit to show an alternative wing.

Well all thanks again for the replys. It is good news that it looks like stock. That firebird wing looks huge. I did not know that there was another domestic stock wing that big. What year is it??? What do you guys think about this one???

LT188GT since I bought that one off of Ebay there is no need. Thank you any way. I am a little curious about it just because it looks so much like a stock Fiero wing?????
